Book a Free ConsultationWhat Is Trauma & PTSD Therapy?
Trauma therapy is focused support for processing experiences — whether a single event or prolonged exposure — that continue to affect your nervous system, relationships, and sense of safety long after they happened.
PTSD and trauma responses can show up as hypervigilance, flashbacks, avoidance, emotional numbness, or a persistent feeling that something is wrong even when you're safe. Treatment focuses on helping your nervous system recognize the difference between then and now.
Sessions typically happen weekly, in 50-minute sessions, either in person in Brooklyn or online across New York, and always move at a pace that feels safe for you.
Signs Trauma Therapy Might Help
Trauma responses don't always look like what you'd expect. You might be a fit for this work if:
These responses often show up in ways that don't feel connected to the past at all. Therapy helps your nervous system catch up to the fact that you're safe now.

Therapists Who Specialize in Trauma & PTSD
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to talk about the traumatic event in detail?
No. We move at your pace, and processing trauma does not require reliving every detail. Much of the work focuses on how the experience shows up now — in your body, relationships, and daily life.
What's the difference between trauma and PTSD?
Trauma refers to a distressing experience; PTSD is a specific diagnosis involving persistent symptoms like flashbacks, avoidance, and hyperarousal following trauma. You do not need a PTSD diagnosis to benefit from trauma-focused therapy.
How long does trauma therapy take?
It varies significantly based on the nature and complexity of what you're processing. Some clients see meaningful relief within months; more complex or longstanding trauma may take longer. We'll check in on progress regularly.
Is trauma therapy only for 'big' traumatic events?
No. Trauma responses can develop from a single event or from prolonged, cumulative experiences — including ones that might not seem 'big enough' to count. If it's affecting you, it's worth addressing.
Do you offer online trauma therapy?
Yes — secure video sessions are available for clients anywhere in New York.
