Trauma frequently underlies or complicates anxiety, depression, OCD, and other conditions. A trauma-informed lens changes what treatment looks like and how well it works.
Our Approach
Trauma-informed care is not a single technique. It is a way of understanding and treating mental health that recognizes how past experiences shape present difficulties.
Trauma is assessed alongside the presenting concern. Anxiety, depression, OCD, and other conditions often have roots in adverse experiences that standard assessments miss. Treatment is built around your actual history, not just your current symptoms.
CBT, DBT, ACT, and EFT are all modified when trauma is part of the picture. The pace, focus, and sequencing of treatment are adjusted to ensure it is safe, effective, and responsive to your nervous system, not a one-size-fits-all protocol.
We focus on what is maintaining your difficulties, not just what they are. When avoidance, dysregulation, or relational patterns are driving a condition, treating those roots produces more durable change than targeting the surface presentation alone.
Conditions We Treat
Each of the following conditions is treated through a trauma-informed lens, with evidence-based approaches adapted to your full history and presentation. Click any condition to learn more.

Treatment
Treatment is not selected by diagnosis alone. We draw from whichever evidence-based approaches best fit your history, presentation, and what has worked or not worked before.
For some clients that means CBT adapted for trauma-related avoidance. For others it means DBT skills for emotional dysregulation alongside trauma processing. For others still it means ACT to build the psychological flexibility needed to engage with difficult content.
Your therapist will work with you to identify what is actually driving your difficulties and select the approach most likely to produce lasting change.
Is This Right for You
Many people come to us after therapy that addressed symptoms but did not reach the underlying causes. Standard CBT for anxiety or depression can be highly effective, but when trauma, dysregulation, or complex histories are part of the picture, a more informed approach is often needed.
A trauma-informed approach does not mean every session focuses on trauma. It means that trauma is accounted for in how treatment is paced, how the therapeutic relationship is built, and how evidence-based techniques are applied.
