What happened doesn’t have to define how you feel.

Trauma leaves a mark — but healing is possible. Our therapists are trained in the most effective, research-backed approaches to trauma and PTSD, with close clinical supervision on every case.

What We Treat

Trauma is more than a single event.

Trauma can stem from a single overwhelming experience — an accident, assault, or sudden loss. It can also develop over time from repeated experiences of harm, neglect, or chronic stress. Both forms are real, and both are treatable.

When the nervous system stays stuck in a threat response — replaying the past, bracing for danger, going numb — that’s trauma. PTSD is a specific clinical diagnosis, but many people carry trauma that affects their daily lives without meeting full PTSD criteria. We work with both.

Our therapists are trained in trauma-focused approaches that go beyond talking about what happened — they help your nervous system process and integrate the experience so it no longer holds the same power.

Signs you might be experiencing trauma…

  • Intrusive memories, flashbacks, or nightmares about past events
  • Feeling constantly on edge, easily startled, or hypervigilant
  • Avoiding people, places, or thoughts that remind you of what happened
  • Emotional numbing, disconnection, or feeling detached from your own life
  • Difficulty trusting others or feeling safe in relationships
  • Shame, guilt, or self-blame around things that were done to you
  • Physical symptoms — tension, fatigue, chronic pain — without a clear medical cause

Our Approach

Specialized care, not general support.

Trauma-informed care means more than being gentle about difficult topics. It means using specific, evidence-based treatments designed for trauma — approaches the research shows actually produce change, not just symptom management.

At Attune, your therapist receives structured clinical supervision after every session. This is especially important for trauma work, where the supervisor helps ensure the treatment is tailored appropriately to your history and paced in a way that supports genuine healing rather than retraumatization.

“Good trauma therapy isn’t just about creating safety in the room. It’s about helping the nervous system finally let go of what it no longer needs to carry.”

Trauma-focused treatments used

  • Prolonged Exposure (PE) — one of the most effective treatments for PTSD
  • Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) — restructuring trauma-related beliefs
  • Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT)
  • EMDR-informed approaches
  • Somatic and body-based techniques for nervous system regulation
  • Measurement-Based Care — tracking symptom severity each session

Treatment is paced carefully and collaboratively. We will never push you faster than you’re ready to go.
