My goal in practicing trauma-focused therapy is to help individuals to process their traumatic experiences in a safe and supportive environment, and to develop coping skills to manage symptoms related to the trauma. Trauma-focused therapy typically involves a combination of talk therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and other techniques that are designed to address the specific symptoms and effects of trauma.
Trauma-focused therapy can be helpful for individuals who have experienced a wide range of traumatic events, including abuse, violence, accidents, natural disasters, and other traumatic experiences. Symptoms of trauma can include anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), substance abuse, self-harm, and other mental health issues.
