Healing From Trauma in Westmoreland County

Our Approach

Evidence-Based Treatment Approaches

Foundation

Trauma-Informed Care

Every session is grounded in understanding how trauma affects the nervous system. We work within your window of tolerance — never overwhelming, always building capacity.

Evidence-Based

EMDR Therapy

EMDR helps the brain reprocess traumatic memories so they stop driving present-day symptoms like hypervigilance, flashbacks, and emotional reactivity.

Somatic

Nervous System Regulation

Trauma lives in the body. Somatic techniques address the physical dimension of trauma — the tension, shutdown, and dysregulation that talk therapy alone may not reach.

Evidence-Based

Trauma-Focused CBT

Addresses the negative beliefs about self and safety that trauma creates — building a more accurate and compassionate understanding of your experience.
