Trauma Therapy in Bryn Mawr, PA
Trauma—no matter how big or small—can cast a long shadow, affecting every aspect of your life and leaving you feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or constantly on edge. Whether you've experienced a single overwhelming event like an accident, loss, or assault, or endured prolonged difficult circumstances such as childhood abuse, neglect, or ongoing stress, the lingering effects of trauma can significantly impact your relationships, work, and overall well-being.
Trauma is a deeply personal experience, and it can show up in many ways, including:
Intrusive thoughts or flashbacks: Reliving the traumatic event as if it’s happening again, often triggered unexpectedly.
Avoidance: Steering clear of people, places, or activities that remind you of the trauma, which can limit your daily functioning and enjoyment.
Negative changes in thoughts and mood: Persistent feelings of fear, shame, guilt, numbness, or difficulty experiencing joy and connection.
Hyperarousal: Being easily startled, feeling tense, having difficulty sleeping, or being constantly “on alert” as if danger is imminent.
Difficulty with relationships: Struggling to connect with others, feeling emotionally distant, or having trouble maintaining healthy boundaries.
Physical symptoms: Chronic pain, headaches, fatigue, digestive issues, or other unexplained bodily sensations often connected to trauma.
If you recognize these symptoms, please know you’re not alone. Healing from trauma is possible, and with the right support, you can reclaim your sense of safety, peace, and control over your life. Sometimes people minimize their own trauma, thinking it isn’t “as bad” as what others have experienced, but trauma is not a competition. What truly matters is how it affects you personally and your ability to live fully.
Our trauma-informed approach respects your individual story and experiences. This means that therapy is tailored to meet you where you are, honoring your pace and unique needs. You don’t have to relive your trauma on someone else’s timeline—you set the boundaries, and we walk alongside you.

Process and integrate traumatic memories in a way that feels manageable

Develop healthy coping mechanisms to manage distressing thoughts and feelings
Improve self-regulation and build emotional resilience over time
