Trauma & PTSD Therapy

Serving CT, CO, NJ, NY & PA

Trauma can have lasting effects on emotional regulation, relationships, physical health, and daily functioning. Trauma may result from a single overwhelming event or from repeated experiences such as childhood adversity, medical trauma, interpersonal violence, or chronic stress. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) may involve intrusive memories, avoidance, hypervigilance, emotional numbing, sleep difficulties, and persistent changes in mood or beliefs.

I provide evidence-based trauma and PTSD therapy for children, adolescents, emerging adults, and adults in CT, CO, NJ, NY & PA. Treatment is individualized and grounded in research-supported approaches that focus on safety, stabilization, and trauma processing at a pace that feels manageable.

Trauma-Focused Treatment Approaches

  • EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing): Supports the processing of traumatic memories so they become less emotionally distressing and disruptive.

  • Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT): Often used with children and adolescents to address trauma-related thoughts, emotions, and behavioral responses.

  • Written Exposure Therapy (WET): A brief, structured treatment that helps individuals process trauma through guided writing.

  • Prolonged Exposure (PE): Gradual exposure to trauma-related memories and avoided situations to reduce fear and avoidance.

  • Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT): Focuses on identifying and modifying trauma-related beliefs that maintain PTSD symptoms.

Trauma therapy may also address related concerns such as anxiety, depression, dissociation, and medical or health-related trauma.
