What is Trauma Therapy?
Trauma therapy is a specialized form of mental health treatment designed to help individuals heal from the psychological and emotional impact of distressing events. These experiences can range from a single overwhelming event to prolonged periods of stress or abuse. The goal is to process these memories, reduce their emotional intensity, and integrate them into a coherent life narrative.
Your Trauma Therapy Journey
Initial Assessment & Planning
Your journey begins with a comprehensive intake assessment where we gather a detailed understanding of your experiences and current challenges. This allows us to work collaboratively to establish clear therapeutic goals. We will discuss your unique needs and preferences to tailor a treatment plan just for you.
Evidence-Based Approaches
We utilize researched modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and person-centered approaches. These techniques help you to understand and reframe your thoughts and reactions to traumatic memories. Our personalized strategies are designed to promote healing and develop new coping mechanisms.
Safe & Non-Judgmental Space
We prioritize creating a compassionate, non-judgmental environment where you feel secure enough to explore difficult emotions and memories. This foundational trust is crucial for effective trauma processing. We ensure your comfort and privacy throughout every session.
Building Resilience & Skills
Beyond processing past events, therapy focuses on equipping you with practical skills to manage distress and enhance your daily functioning. This includes strategies for emotional regulation, stress reduction, and improving self-awareness. Our aim is to empower you with lasting tools for well-being.

Testimonials
I was referred to Dr. Shay Burns to get tested for autism and ADHD as an adult. I was really impressed! After only a few hours of interviews and testing, she wrote a report about me that showed she understood me at a deep level. Plus she’s very friendly, helpful, and fun to talk to.
