Trauma & PTSD Therapy

Telehealth Trauma Recovery and PTSD Treatment in Johnson City, TN and Surrounding Areas

Healing form Trauma & PTSD

Do memories of the traumatic experience feel inescapable? Nightmares, anxiety, and/or the sense of being “back in that moment”-is any of this part of your daily life? Trauma may involve a single incident or even ongoing abuse, but in all its forms, trauma often leaves indelible emotional wounds.

You might feel disconnected from yourself or others, or maybe you just can't trust, and you notice extreme emotional reactions that feel beyond your control. Sometimes, it feels like your body and your mind are stuck reliving this trauma, making it hard to stay grounded in the present.

How Trauma Can Affect Daily Life

You may avoid places or situations that remind you of painful memories. You may not be able to sleep, may be irritable, or feel emotionally numb much of the time. All these reactions are normal responses to abnormal experiences-and they don't mean you're broken.

With the right kind of support, it is possible to process such memories, decrease symptoms that are distressing, and regain feelings of safety and control.

How We can Help You Heal from Trauma & PTSD

Trauma therapy is a safe, structured way toward healing and recovery. In our sessions, you will:

Learn ways to cope with various symptoms such as anxiety, flashbacks, and triggers.
Learn strategies to regulate your emotions and build resilience.
Process traumatic memories, reducing symptoms of PTSD with EMDR: Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing.

EMDR is a powerful, evidence-based therapy that helps the brain process and integrate traumatic experiences. Combined with other techniques in a way tailored to your needs, it can be transformational in helping you move forward.

What Sessions Look Like

Sessions are tailored to move at your pace and ensure that you feel safe from the very beginning.

Early sessions focus on building trust, calming your nervous system, and helping you feel grounded. You’ll share what feels comfortable—never more than you’re ready for.
Moving forward, we will start to gently explore how trauma is showing up in your body, thoughts, and emotions. When it is appropriate, we may integrate EMDR or other trauma-informed modalities to help process painful memories in safety.
You'll have small, manageable tools to practice, like grounding or self-soothing techniques, outside of therapy to support your healing between sessions.
Over time, the focus shifts from survival mode to rebuilding. In such a process, you will strengthen your resilience, reconnect with your values, and feel more present and at peace in daily life.

Every step of the therapy is paced to your comfort and readiness, offered through secure telehealth across Tennessee and Virginia.
