Trauma Therapy Approaches.

We have specialized training in Post Induction Therapy, EMDR, and Somatic Experiencing Training. We also have training to help partners of sex addicts navigate through betrayal trauma. These approaches can help you heal childhood trauma and developmental wounds. They also help you process traumas that are not only held in your mind and memories, but in your body as well. This can help you rebuild damaged relationships, but also connect with others on deeper, more authentic levels. Whether it’s sex, friendships, or romantic relationships, these approaches can help.

PTSD Therapy

Whether you’re a veteran, natural disaster survivor, cancer survivor, or an abuse survivor, we can help. We have specialized training in therapeutic approaches to help people who are dealing with trauma. Our experience will help you not only survive with such issues, but thrive as well.

Symptoms of PTSD can make it difficult to build solid relationships. It can also make it so you avoid situations that you once felt safe within. You might also be dealing with relationship issues, anger, problems in your sex life, and difficulties in social situations. These things are all common effects of trauma.

We understand that trauma is natural response to unnatural events.

As humans, we have to process through things. This can make us loop or even feel stuck in a pattern of behavior or thought. You can feel regularly stressed out, angry, and even depressed.

When you have been through a traumatic event, information can struggle to be processed through. This can leave the trauma trapped in your mind and body. We help people release this trauma to restore their mind and body to a regulated state.

We specialize in helping people with trauma that is associated with the following:

  • Childhood abuse and neglect
  • Sexual abuse
  • Rape
  • Cancer survivorship
  • Emotional abuse
  • Infidelity betrayal trauma
  • Car accidents
  • War
  • Natural Disasters

It is possible to rebuild loving relationships with people in your life who struggle with your sexual orientation.

By helping you to identify the emotions that you’re experiencing, and where these come from, we’ll help you become more resilient to the judgment from others. Many times relationship bridges are burned because people on both sides don’t know what to do. We can help you with this, so that you can feel more confident to deal with your loved ones in a way that will make your relationship better in the long run.

If you have considered therapy, but have put this off because you were unsure if your therapist was able to understand this aspect of your life, you don’t have to wait anymore. Know that you don’t have to go through life feeling depressed or angry at others or yourself. Life is too short to feel this way. Everyone can improve on their relationships and self-confidence. Whether you’re looking for an openly gay therapist or you just want someone who is affirming, we can help.

If you’re in the Dallas-Forth Worth area, please contact us to set up consultation to see how having a gay therapist or a lgbt-affirming therapist could help you live the life that you would want to live. You can also check out our Gay Dallas Counseling website to learn more about specific LGBT counseling services.

Whether it's a one time traumatic event, or multiple events, we can help you process through this.

We know that trauma and PTSD is different for everyone. You have a unique story to work through, and we respect that. Sometimes this story is a narrative, while other times your have to process through physiological response. Either way, we will work through this with you in a way that can help you cope.

Trauma therapy can help you rebuild your relationships.

One of the biggest symptoms of PTSD is relationship issues. Romance, sex, and connection are common problems in relationships where there is trauma. There can also be more intense situations like addiction, substance abuse, and domestic violence. No matter what your situation is, we can help to rediscover balance, rebuild trust, and open doors of intimacy.
