Trauma Therapy

Trauma therapy at Welling Wellness is a collaborative process focused on understanding your experiences, building emotional regulation skills, and creating tools that support your goals.

We move at a pace that feels comfortable for you while incorporating evidence-informed approaches to support self-awareness, nervous system regulation, and meaningful growth.

Trauma-informed therapy recognizes that your experiences can influence the way you think, feel, connect with others, and respond to stress.

Rather than focusing only on what happened, trauma-informed therapy focuses on understanding your experiences, creating a supportive therapeutic environment, and building tools that help you feel more grounded, empowered, and connected to yourself.

Trauma can come from many different experiences, and it does not always look the way people expect. At Welling Wellness, we support individuals navigating experiences such as childhood trauma, relational trauma, difficult life transitions, medical experiences, grief, major life changes, and other events that have impacted their sense of safety or well-being.

Together, we’ll explore how these experiences may be affecting your emotions, relationships, stress responses, and everyday life while developing tools that support your goals.

Trauma therapy can help you better understand these responses and develop tools for nervous system regulation, emotional awareness, and feeling more grounded in your everyday life.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-informed therapy approach that can help people process distressing experiences and reduce the emotional intensity connected to difficult memories.

EMDR may be helpful for trauma, anxiety, and experiences that continue to impact your thoughts, emotions, relationships, or daily life.
