Gentle, trauma informed therapy at a pace that feels safe.
Trauma is not about being weak. It is what happens when an experience overwhelms your ability to cope, and your mind and body keep bracing long after the danger has passed. That response makes sense, and it can change.
We provide outpatient trauma and PTSD therapy for adults across Minneapolis, using the treatments with the strongest evidence, at a pace that always keeps you safe.
You are never pushed to relive more than you are ready for. We build safety and stability first, then heal from there.
Trauma is not only combat or catastrophe. Whatever shape yours has taken, it deserves care.
An accident, assault, disaster, or sudden loss that changed everything in a moment.
Repeated or early harm that shaped how you see yourself and the world.
Physical, emotional, or sexual abuse, whether it happened long ago or is recent.
Losing someone in a sudden, violent, or devastating way that is hard to move through.
Repeated exposure to crisis on the job, or a frightening medical event of your own.
Flashbacks, nightmares, hypervigilance, numbness, and the avoidance that shrinks your life.
Trauma work is not about forcing you to relive the worst day of your life. It is about helping your mind and body finally feel that it is over.
Gently process what happened and change the beliefs trauma leaves behind, in a way that stays within your window of tolerance.
A structured, evidence-based approach that helps you rework the stuck points trauma creates in how you see yourself and others.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing helps the brain reprocess traumatic memories so they lose their charge.
Grounding, regulation, and body-based tools so you can stay present and steady as you heal.
Trauma can feel like a life sentence, but the science says otherwise. Trauma-focused therapies like CPT, PE, and EMDR are proven first-line treatments, and many people who complete them see their symptoms drop dramatically or resolve.
Healing is not about forgetting. It is about the memory losing its power to hijack your present. That is what good trauma care makes possible.
Tell us only what you are comfortable sharing. You set the pace from the very first contact.
We start by building grounding skills and trust, never by diving into the hardest memories.
Trauma-focused therapy matched to your history and your readiness, moving only as fast as feels safe.
Not before you are ready, and never more than you can tolerate. Good trauma therapy builds safety first and always keeps you in control of the pace.
No. People heal from trauma decades later. The nervous system can learn that the danger has passed, whenever you are ready to begin.
EMDR helps the brain reprocess stuck traumatic memories so they lose their intensity. It is one of several proven options, and we will help you choose what fits.
We work with many major Minnesota plans. Verify your coverage here and we will confirm your benefits privately, with no obligation.
Reach out today and a counselor who understands trauma will follow up. Everything you share is confidential.
