​Trauma Treatment

Trauma comes in many colors: Medical, Military, Childhood, Abuse, Neglect, Religious, Risk of Life, Sudden Loss, Sexual Assault...and so on.  Trauma-based approaches such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Brainspotting have been proven to assist in the process of healing trauma. We have several clinicians trained these modalities.  View our clinician page to learn more.
