We offer multiple trauma treatment modalities, including EMDR, Psychodrama, Somatic Experiencing, Brainspotting, IFS, and Post-Induction Therapy (PIT). Our approach is highly individualized. We can help you find the modality that fits best for you.
What is EMDR?
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an integrative psychotherapy approach that has been extensively researched and shown to be effective for the treatment of trauma. EMDR uses a technique called bilateral stimulation—often through guided eye movements—to repeatedly activate opposite sides of the brain. These movements mimic the rapid eye movement (REM) phase of sleep, when the mind naturally processes recent experiences. This process seems to help the brain reprocess “stuck” traumatic memories so that normal information processing can resume. In doing so, EMDR supports clients in uncovering and healing painful beliefs that developed from relational traumas, childhood abuse, or neglect.
What is Psychodrama?
Psychodrama is a form of experiential therapy, meaning it involves movement, tools, and activities to process emotions, trauma, and experiences. It can help strengthen the connection between logical and emotional processing. Through the embodiment of emotions, reenacting challenging situations, or physical representations of struggles, resolution and solutions become apparent.
What is Somatic Experiencing (SE)?
Somatic Experiencing is a body-oriented approach to healing trauma and stress disorders. It focuses on the physical sensations that arise when trauma is unresolved, helping clients gently release stored tension in the nervous system. By increasing awareness of bodily experiences and allowing them to complete natural survival responses, SE helps restore regulation and resilience.
What is Brainspotting?
Brainspotting is a trauma-focused therapy that uses points in a client’s visual field to access unprocessed memories and emotions stored in the brain. By identifying and focusing on “brainspots” connected to distress, clients are able to release the neurophysiological sources of trauma. Brainspotting often works on a deeper, subcortical level, making it particularly effective for unresolved trauma and performance blocks.
What is Internal Family Systems (IFS)?
Internal Family Systems is a therapeutic model that views the mind as made up of different “parts” that carry distinct emotions, beliefs, and roles. Some parts may hold pain, while others protect us from being overwhelmed. IFS helps clients build a compassionate relationship with their “Self,” the core of who they are, so that inner parts can heal and work in harmony.
What is Post-Induction Therapy (PIT)?
Post-Induction Therapy is a model developed by Pia Mellody to treat childhood trauma and over dependency on others. It helps clients identify and heal the core developmental wounds that shape dysfunctional patterns in adulthood. Through structured processes, PIT works to repair boundaries, reduce shame, address distorted thinking, and foster healthier relational dynamics.
