Trauma Therapy in Durham, NC

Trauma emerges as a profound emotional reaction triggered by an event that jeopardizes your mental well-being, physical health, or life. Trauma can manifest in various forms, including medical trauma, disaster trauma, early childhood trauma, and racial trauma. The immediate response to trauma often involves shock and denial, while enduring reactions may include flashbacks, unpredictable emotions, inability to feel joy, and hypervigilance. If you have undergone a traumatic experience, remember that you are not alone, and seeking trauma therapy can be beneficial.

Our trauma therapy services aim to assist you in managing the aftermath of trauma, whether it stems from a singular event or an ongoing, prolonged situation.

Grief Counseling in Durham, NC

Experiencing grief is a natural reaction to loss, representing the emotional anguish that arises when something or someone dear is removed from your life. The intensity of the pain associated with loss can be profound, leading to a cascade of challenging and unforeseen emotions ranging from shock, anger, and disbelief to feelings of guilt and deep sadness.

If you’re seeking compassionate and expert support for grief, our team in Durham consists of experienced grief counselors who specialize in providing empathetic and understanding support.

EMDR Therapy in Durham, NC

EMDR therapy involves a structured approach where the patient briefly concentrates on the traumatic memory while undergoing bilateral stimulation, often through eye movements. This technique is linked to diminishing the intensity of emotions and vividness associated with the trauma memories. Proven through extensive research, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is an effective psychotherapeutic method designed to aid individuals in recovering from trauma and symptoms of PTSD.
