Things Trauma-Focused Therapy Treats
PTSD can arise from a variety of traumatic experiences, such as combat, accidents, or assault. Trauma-focused therapy helps individuals with PTSD by gradually exposing them to their trauma in a safe and controlled environment, using techniques like EMDR and CBT to desensitize and process painful memories. This helps reduce the intensity of flashbacks, nightmares, and other symptoms, allowing individuals to regain a sense of normalcy in their lives.
Attachment disorders often stem from early childhood trauma, such as neglect or abuse.

Our approach focuses on fostering secure attachment styles by helping clients identify and challenge maladaptive relationship patterns and develop a sense of trust and emotional safety.
Trauma is often a contributing factor in the development of personality disorders. Our trauma-focused therapy addresses underlying trauma, helping clients work through their emotional and psychological wounds.
