Trauma Therapy in San Antonio
Recognizing When Trauma Therapy is Needed.
When you have experienced trauma, your brain's alarm system gets stuck in the "on" position. As a provider of trauma therapy in San Antonio, I see how the past constantly bleeds into the present, making it difficult to feel safe, trust others, or even trust yourself. We will also work closely on managing the overwhelming anxiety that follows trauma so your nervous system can finally rest.
You don't have to carry this weight forever. Trauma is treatable.

Our Approach to Trauma Therapy in San Antonio
"We will never force you to talk about the trauma until you feel completely safe and grounded."
One of the biggest fears people have about trauma therapy is that they will be forced to relive the worst moments of their lives before they are ready. Our first goal is establishing safety, teaching you grounding techniques, and ensuring your nervous system can handle the work. You are in the driver's seat.
Evidence-Based Treatment
Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
A highly effective, structured therapy that helps you evaluate and change the unhelpful beliefs related to your trauma, allowing you to develop a new, empowering understanding of the traumatic event.
Somatic Experiencing
Focuses on releasing the "fight, flight, or freeze" energy that gets trapped in the body during a traumatic event, promoting deep physical and emotional regulation.
What to Expect from Treatment
We approach trauma healing in three distinct phases:
- Phase 1: Safety and Stabilization. We establish deep safety, build trust, and develop coping skills so you can regulate your nervous system.
- Phase 2: Processing. Using trauma-focused techniques and Somatic Experiencing, we carefully process traumatic memories without forcing you to relive them.
- Phase 3: Integration. We integrate these new, adaptive perspectives into your present life, helping you reconnect with yourself and others.

Will I be forced to talk about my trauma immediately?
Absolutely not. My first priority is your safety. We will not process trauma until your nervous system is ready.
Do I need a formal PTSD diagnosis to receive trauma therapy?
No, you do not need a formal diagnosis. If you have experienced deeply distressing events that continue to impact your daily life, trauma therapy can help you regain control and peace of mind.
Can childhood trauma affect my current relationships?
Yes. Unresolved childhood trauma often shows up as trust issues, fear of abandonment, or emotional reactivity in adult relationships. We offer support for couples navigating trauma together, helping both partners understand and heal the dynamic.
