Childhood abuse or neglect
Flashbacks: Vivid memories or nightmares of the traumatic event.
Avoidance: Steering clear of reminders of the trauma, including people, places, or activities.
Hyperarousal: Feeling constantly on edge, easily startled, or experiencing difficulty sleeping.

Key Components of Trauma Counseling:
Safe and Supportive Environment: Our counselors create a safe space where you can share your experiences without judgment. Trust is the foundation of the therapeutic relationship, and we are committed to fostering an atmosphere of understanding and acceptance.
Trauma-Informed Care: We approach counseling with a deep understanding of the impact of trauma. Our counselors are trained in trauma-informed care, ensuring that your unique needs and sensitivities are addressed throughout the healing process.
Evidence-Based Therapies: We utilize evidence-based therapies proven effective in treating PTSD and trauma, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and mindfulness techniques. These approaches are tailored to your individual experiences and goals.
Biofeedback and Neurofeedback Integration: In addition to traditional counseling, we offer Biofeedback and Neurofeedback sessions to complement your healing journey. These innovative techniques provide holistic support, addressing both the emotional and physiological aspects of trauma recovery.
The Role of Biofeedback and Neurofeedback in Trauma Healing
Biofeedback and Neurofeedback offer a unique avenue for healing by addressing the mind-body connection. Biofeedback allows you to gain awareness and control over physiological responses, such as heart rate and muscle tension, providing a tangible way to manage stress and anxiety.
Neurofeedback, on the other hand, focuses on training your brain to function optimally. By monitoring brainwave activity, Neurofeedback helps regulate emotions, improve focus, and enhance overall mental well-being. Integrating these techniques into trauma counseling provides a comprehensive approach to healing.
