Trauma Informed Care
Past experiences can keep showing up in the present, shaping how you think, feel, and react long after the event itself. Trauma focused treatments provide a structured way to process traumatic memories and reframe the beliefs they've left behind, so the past has less hold on your day-to-day life.

Avoiding trauma reminders can feel protective, but it often keeps the memory just as painful as the day it happened. Prolonged Exposure is a structured, evidence-based treatment that helps you safely revisit and process traumatic memories so they lose their hold on your daily life.

Trauma has a way of rewriting what we believe about ourselves, other people, and the world. CPT helps you identify and work through these "stuck points," building a more balanced understanding of what happened and why it wasn't your fault. This treatment focuses on understanding how trauma shapes the way you think about yourself and the world, and how to restructure your cognitions to get unstuck.

For clients navigating trauma alongside intense emotions or high-risk behaviors, diving straight into exposure work isn't always safe or realistic. DBT-PE combines DBT's emotion regulation and crisis skills with Prolonged Exposure, so you build stability first and then process the trauma itself when you're ready.
