Approach to Therapy

Trauma Support Services offers a holistic approach combining traditional talk therapy with somatic therapy, and EMDR, when appropriate. We believe in meeting the client where they are at, a strengths-based perspective, and that the client is an active participant in the therapeutic process.

Trauma Support Services recognizes trauma manifests differently in every person. We found those working to heal from traumatic events often respond best to a combination of talk, somatic, and EMDR therapy. While these therapy modes are our foundation, interventions and sessions are crafted to each client, developing with the client’s progress. We want the client to feel safe and empowered while in session, and able to apply their tools and knowledge in everyday life.

Trauma Support Services knows some demographics are disproportionately exposed to traumatic events, including but not limited to, LGBTQIA+ identifying, current or former children in the foster care system, Black Americans, Indigenous Americans, immigrants, and people struggling with substance abuse. We work from a culturally responsive framework while also practicing cultural humility.
