Trauma

At The Chestnut Hill Therapy Center, we understand that the impact of trauma is unique to each person, affecting thoughts, emotions, and behaviors in profound ways. Our compassionate therapists are here to provide a safe and supportive environment for individuals navigating the journey of healing from trauma. Through evidence-based approaches and personalized care, we empower clients to explore, process, and ultimately transform the effects of trauma, fostering resilience and reclaiming a sense of well-being.

Acknowledging the complexities of trauma, we recognize the importance of a holistic and trauma-informed therapeutic approach. Our goal is to help individuals not only cope with the immediate aftermath of traumatic experiences but also to build the skills and resilience needed to move forward and thrive.

If you or someone you know is seeking support in overcoming the impact of trauma, we are here to provide guidance, understanding, and a pathway toward healing. You don't have to face this journey alone; our team is committed to walking alongside you every step of the way.

“The pain of trauma can be the catalyst for personal growth, leading us to discover inner strength and resilience we never knew we possessed.”

– Judith Lewis Herman

Treatment for Post-Traumatic Stress

Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR)

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a therapeutic approach aimed at helping individuals process traumatic memories and alleviate associated symptoms. EMDR has shown efficacy not only in addressing PTSD but also in treating other psychological issues like anxiety, depression, and phobias, making it a widely used and researched psychotherapeutic method.

Prolonged Exposure (PE) is a therapeutic intervention specifically designed for the treatment of trauma-related disorders, particularly post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Prolonged Exposure is grounded in the principle of habituation, helping individuals develop a sense of mastery over their trauma-related fears and promoting adaptive coping mechanisms, ultimately fostering recovery and improved psychological well-being.
