Benefits of Trauma Counseling

Trauma counseling focuses on empowering you to regain a sense of control over your life, helps you set boundaries, and teaches you how to manage triggers so you can reclaim your personal power.

We offer evidence-based approaches, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), to help reduce symptoms of trauma, including flashbacks, nightmares, and hypervigilance.

Whether you’re dealing with emotional or physical challenges, trauma counseling helps you work through the complex effects of trauma and promotes healing on all levels — mind, body, and spirit.

Trauma counseling provides compassionate and evidence-based support to help you heal from the emotional, mental, and physical impact of trauma. Whether you’re experiencing symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, or emotional distress, our trauma-informed therapists work with you to create a safe space for healing.

Using therapeutic techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR, and mindfulness, we can help you manage triggers, reduce trauma-related symptoms, and promote emotional resilience. At CenterLife Counseling, our goal is to guide you on the journey to long-term recovery and emotional well-being.

See What Our Clients are Saying

"I used to see a therapist at CenterLife Counseling years ago, and then they retired. After a break, I needed to find someone new, but I didn’t think I’d find another therapist that was just as good. Of course, I called CenterLife. They matched me up with a new therapist that's every bit as wonderful; I’ll be seeing him until he retires one day, too!" – G.S.
"I called around, looking to get tested for ADHD, and couldn’t get an appointment anywhere within 6 months. I actually cried on the phone when I called CenterLife, and they got me in the following week!" – Client
"After having issues with another clinic, and getting ghosted by a second one, I am so grateful to CenterLife for getting me in for testing so quickly. I am now on medication, have experienced significant improvements in my life, and am finally able to be present and in the moment in every aspect of my life. I can’t express enough, my gratitude to CenterLife, my regular therapist, and my testing therapist." – A.B.
"I followed my therapist from another clinic recently to CenterLife Counseling, I'd follow her anywhere she goes. The receptionist that helped me through registration was so kind and helpful, what a nice surprise after the last place." - Client
"Our child is non-binary and started seeing a therapist at CenterLife about 5 months ago. It's not easy being a teen today, and I am so relieved to have found a place where my kid feels safe and seen." - Client's mom
"When I was ready to take a break from therapy, it was a sad good-bye with my therapist, and an equally sad goodbye with Saunya at the front desk, she was always smiling and knew my name and made me feel so safe and welcome. I really appreciated her." – K.C.
