Trauma

Trauma is not just the memory of a painful event—it’s how that experience becomes embedded in the body, mind, and emotional landscape. It can disrupt your sense of safety, fracture relationships, and alter the way you see yourself and the world. At Five Seasons Therapy, we offer trauma-informed care that meets each client with compassion, patience, and a deep respect for their pace of healing. We recognize that trauma recovery is not about “getting over it,” but learning how to feel safe again, rebuild trust, and integrate painful experiences into a fuller sense of self.

In therapy, clients find a safe and confidential space to begin naming and exploring their trauma. Our clinicians use evidence-based modalities like EMDR, cognitive processing therapy, and somatic interventions to support trauma integration. We focus on emotional regulation, nervous system stabilization, and the gentle processing of memories—never forcing disclosure or reliving. Therapy also helps challenge the distorted beliefs that trauma can imprint, such as shame, self-blame, or worthlessness. As clients strengthen their coping skills and emotional resilience, they begin to reconnect with themselves and others. Many experience post-traumatic growth: a renewed sense of meaning, self-agency, and inner strength forged through the healing process.
