TODAY YOU ARE ONE STEP

CLOSER TO BEING EMPOWERED AND SELF-FULFILLED

MENTALLY AND SPIRITUALLY 

OUR GOAL
 
Our goal is to set you free from the horrific cost of unresolved traumatic stress that has hijacked your brain and body. If you have been living with disturbing events from childhood or adulthood, you likely are suffering physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. (See the diagram of the Sign and Symptoms of Unresolved Traumatic Stress by Peter Levine below).
 
Every single clinician at the Trauma Center is an expert in Brainspotting, the most effective, evidence-based, and fast method we have found to bring your Autonomic Nervous System into a regulated state. When your nervous system is not “Stuck On” (Flight, Fight or Fawn) or “Stuck Off” (Freeze/ Faint) you will be in a state of coherence. Here is what you can expect once we get you there. “Coherence is associated with more integrative and effective thinking and behavior, greater intelligence, creativity, emotional stability, self-confidence, and reduced anxiety.” -National Institute for Mental Health
 
Here is a typical response from those who experience deep healing at our Center:
 
“My deepest gratitude for your care, support, skill, facilitation and guidance in our sessions. I am truly thankful for your thorough assessment and your focus in clearing my core blockages in life. I feel very different. I’m lighter, more free, capable, confidant, unshakable and almost Zen. The anxiety and self- hatred is gone. Many thanks, you are wonderful.” -Dave W (After 10 hours of therapy)

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
HOW WE WORK

​We will work with you to create a list your specific therapy goals and an individualized and measurable treatment plan. We are committed to co-creating a “wish list” or personalized treatment plan with you during the first session of therapy. Each therapy session will actively work towards achieving one or more of your goals. You will know when it is time to “graduate” from therapy because all of the goals you stated in your first sessions will be accomplished or well on their way to being fulfilled. You will choose what to work on each week while we track your progress on your goals, your negative beliefs about yourself shifting to the opposite, and measuring disturbance levels on your difficult life events. Many clients graduate after eight 1.5 hour sessions.
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT

  • Compassion, Respect, and Understanding

  • Nervous System Regulation so you can be your best self

  • Transforming negative thoughts and behaviors to self-affirming ones

  • Effective tools and strategies for enacting positive change

  • An established treatment plan where each session moves you closer towards your goals​



BEFORE YOUR FIRST APPOINTMENT

New clients will need to print and fill out intake paperwork and bring it to your first session. Filling out the paperwork ahead of time allows you to have more time for therapy in your first session. You will receive your Intake paperwork after you are matched with a therapist.

 

Initial intake appointments take 1.5 hours, as do all trauma therapy sessions. Appointments are usually scheduled weekly and on a regular basis until you have accomplished the majority of your goals and other arrangements are made.
