Trauma Therapy Tailored to Your Unique Needs

We understand that each individual’s experience with trauma is unique, which is why our approach is personalized to fit your specific needs. We begin with a confidential assessment that allows us to fully understand your circumstances and create a personalized treatment plan. Whether dealing with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), complex trauma, or other behavioral health challenges, our goal is to support you through the healing process.

Offering Customized Help for Professionals

Our Comprehensive Trauma Therapy Programs

Individual Trauma Therapy Sessions

Our individual therapy sessions are focused on providing a safe space where you can openly share your experiences. Our therapists are trained to guide you through the healing process with care and understanding, helping you work through traumatic memories, develop coping skills, and gain a sense of empowerment over your life.

Trauma-Informed Group Therapy
We offer group therapy sessions for trauma recovery, where individuals can find support from others who have experienced similar challenges, such as domestic violence, sexual assault, or a natural disaster. These sessions foster community and connection, helping to reduce feelings of isolation and building a network of understanding and support as you work towards healing. Trauma therapists facilitate these sessions to ensure a supportive environment that encourages sharing and growth.

Trauma-Informed Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Our trauma therapy services include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), an evidence-based approach that helps individuals identify and change negative thought patterns resulting from traumatic experiences. This therapy empowers patients by helping them regain control over their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, which is particularly effective for managing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) for Trauma
For those struggling with intense emotions and difficulty regulating them, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is an effective treatment option. DBT focuses on mindfulness, emotional regulation, and distress tolerance, offering individuals practical tools to manage their emotions and improve their overall mental health. Our licensed professional counselors work collaboratively with clients to develop skills that foster resilience and emotional balance.

Somatic Therapy
We also offer somatic therapy to help individuals process trauma by focusing on the connection between the mind and body. This approach helps release the tension and pain stored in the body as a result of trauma, aiding in the overall healing process.

Holistic Approaches for Trauma Recovery

In addition to traditional therapies, Providence Treatment integrates holistic therapies to support the body, mind, and spirit during the healing process. These include:

  • Yoga and Meditation: These practices are beneficial in reducing severe anxiety, promoting mindfulness, and creating a calm internal state.

  • Art Therapy: Provides a creative and expressive outlet for processing traumatic experiences, allowing individuals to communicate emotions that may be difficult to verbalize.

  • Nutritional Counseling: Proper nutrition is an important aspect of behavioral health. Our nutritional counseling services support your overall well-being and enhance the effectiveness of trauma therapy.

Specialized Trauma Care for All Ages

We provide trauma therapy services to adults, and older adults in Philadelphia, PA. Whether the trauma stems from childhood experiences, recent events, or long-term emotional challenges, our team is experienced in working with individuals across all age groups to address their unique needs. Our therapists have extensive experience in treating PTSD and relationship issues and other trauma-related concerns.

Our approach is rooted in the belief that healing from trauma is possible at any stage of life. We emphasize the importance of self-determination and personal empowerment in the recovery journey, helping individuals regain a sense of control and confidence in their ability to heal.

Community and Family Involvement in Trauma Recovery

Family therapy plays a vital role in our trauma treatment approach. Trauma not only impacts individuals but can also affect family dynamics and trauma can be multi-generational. Our family therapy sessions are designed to educate loved ones on how to provide effective support and create a nurturing environment for recovery. We believe that family support can be a significant factor in long-term healing.

We also provide community support and resources that help individuals maintain their progress. Our alumni network and support groups are available to offer ongoing support and encouragement, allowing patients to continue their journey of healing in a compassionate community.

Trauma Symptoms and How We Help

Symptoms of trauma can vary widely and may include flashbacks, nightmares, dissociation, insomnia, severe anxiety, and difficulty forming or maintaining relationships. Our trauma therapists are skilled in addressing these symptoms using a range of therapeutic techniques, including intensive EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) for deep trauma processing and relief.
