Trauma Therapy in Sacramento, CA

And online across California

It’s hard to find a way to write about trauma that’s universal when each traumatic experience, and the effect it has on the person who went through it, is so deeply personal. How we respond to trauma, and the person we become because of it, are greatly influenced by what happened and who or what is responsible.

If you’ve been through a traumatic event (or many), you may be feeling:

  • Numb

  • Overwhelmed 

  • Alone

  • Hopeless

  • Confused

You may not know who to turn to for help or even know where to begin. Many of our clients come to us simply asking for a way to “feel better.” We want you to know: it’s okay to start wherever you are. Our trauma therapists offer a variety of techniques to achieve long-lasting healing, but even more importantly, we walk beside you simply as fellow humans to help you navigate your unique journey towards happiness and wholeness. 

Unresolved trauma can manifest in many ways, including:

  • Feeling isolated from the people around you

  • Intrusive thoughts, memories, and flashbacks

  • Anger, frustration, and irritability

  • Self-doubt, or feeling like you can’t trust yourself or others

  • People-pleasing and feeling overly responsible for the feelings of others

  • Self-harming

  • Using alcohol, drugs, shopping, TV, or social media to numb your emotions and drown out the noise in your head

These are common and understandable ways to cope with something that shouldn’t have happened and isn’t your fault. But you deserve better. You deserve to be treated with kindness, compassion, and understanding, even from yourself. You deserve to have real strategies that actually help you feel better long term, not just quick fixes. And most importantly, you deserve to discover what life looks like when it’s not defined by what happened to you.

We honor your uniqueness by tailoring your therapy experience to your own specific needs and preferences. Our therapists offer a variety of techniques to help you cope, recover, and heal, but you will always be in the driver’s seat during your sessions. Whether you’re looking to find your voice, quiet the noise in your head, or learn how to build healthy relationships, we’re here to help you achieve the goals that matter most to you.

Our approach to therapy

Brainspotting (BSP) - A breakthrough therapy that involves deep processing of memories, beliefs, and emotions that influence the relationship you have with yourself, the way you interact with others, and so much more. Brainspotting is especially helpful when trauma is at the root of your anxiety.

Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) - A well-researched and highly effective type of therapy that helps you work through thoughts and beliefs about your traumatic experiences that are keeping you “stuck” in your trauma response. It can be completed in an average of 15 sessions and is a great option for people who want to work through trauma without having to relive every detail of it. 

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) - We teach you a variety of coping skills to help you calm your body and mind, be more present in your daily life and relationships, and communicate your needs effectively. These skills can be used in a variety of settings for the rest of your life and are a great investment into your overall happiness and wellbeing.

Shame thrives in silence. Speaking your truth to someone who cares and understands can be life-changing. You’ve suffered in silence for too long, let us help you begin to move forward, one step at a time.
