If you are seeking trained therapists who specialize in trauma, you’ve found the right place! We offer the following treatments that are considered gold-standard by groups like the World Health Organization or American Psychological Association:
Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)
Prolonged Exposure (PE)
Written Exposure Therapy (WET)
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR)
We say this all the time in the trauma field, “trauma lives in the body.” But that’s not actually accurate.
As Lisa Feldman Barrett puts it,
“The body doesn’t keep the score. Your brain keeps the score and your body is the scorecard.”
That distinction matters more than we think.
Trauma is not stored in muscles, fascia, or organs. It is encoded in the brain, in prediction, memory, meaning-making, and learned associations. The body is where those predictions get played out. Heart rate changes. Muscle tension. Breath shifts. Gut responses. Urges to act. Not because the body is holding trauma, but because the brain is running a pattern it learned to survive.
When we collapse trauma into “the body,” we risk oversimplifying what is actually a complex, brain-based process involving perception, context, and prediction. And clinically, that matters.
Because healing is not just about “releasing” something from the body.
It’s about updating the brain’s model of the world.
The body isn’t where trauma lives.
It’s where trauma shows up.
