- Natural disasters like earthquakes or hurricanes
- Sudden loss of a loved one
- Neglect or childhood adversity

Trauma Therapy Techniques
Our programs use a combination of evidence-based treatments tailored to each client’s needs.
Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)
CPT is a structured, trauma-focused approach that helps individuals identify and challenge negative thoughts related to traumatic experiences. By restructuring these thoughts, clients develop healthier emotional responses and coping mechanisms.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
EMDR uses guided eye movements to help the brain reprocess traumatic memories, reducing emotional distress and making painful experiences feel less overwhelming.
Somatic Experiencing
Somatic experiencing focuses on releasing trauma stored in the body. By increasing body awareness, clients learn to manage physical and emotional responses to stress.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Mindfulness helps individuals stay present, regulate emotions, and develop a sense of calm in response to very negative memories and triggers.
