Trauma & PTSD Clinic

Trauma & PTSD Clinic

You can look “high-functioning” on the outside and still feel stuck, on edge, or held back inside. Therapy can help you move forward.

Trauma isn’t just about one major event. It can include clearly defined experiences like PTSD, as well as more subtle, repeated patterns — early environments, high-pressure expectations, or moments that shaped how you see yourself and the world. Over time, this can show up as anxiety, overthinking, perfectionism, emotional shutdown, or feeling constantly “on.”

The good news: these patterns are treatable.

What We Do

We use evidence-based, trauma-focused therapies that help your mind and body update, not just cope:

Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)

Helps you work through stuck points like self-blame, guilt, or “I should have done something differently.”

Exposure-Based Approaches

Gently reduce avoidance so your system can learn you are safe now — without overwhelm.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Helps you step out of overthinking and reconnect with what matters, even in the presence of difficult thoughts and emotions.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

Helps your brain reprocess distressing memories so they feel less intense and no longer get “stuck,” allowing you to move forward with greater ease.

What We Target

We help you shift the deeper patterns that keep trauma going:

  • Perfectionism and pressure to perform
  • Chronic overthinking and self-doubt
  • Hypervigilance or feeling “on edge”
  • Emotional numbing or disconnection
  • Guilt, shame, and harsh self-criticism

Who We Work With

  • Professionals who are successful but internally exhausted or stuck
  • Students navigating high expectations and anxiety
  • Individuals with PTSD or clearly defined traumatic experiences
  • People noticing old patterns or “learned responses” that no longer serve them
