Our Approach to Therapy
Living with trauma is exhausting. We understand how, for many of our clients, their body is the crime scene. Sleep doesn’t bring peaceful rest. The world feels unsafe. Thoughts are hard to control. And emotional triggers are everywhere – especially in relationships. This is why people who have experienced trauma find ‘letting it go’ and ‘moving on’ nearly impossible.
Until the physiological information from the traumatic event(s) has been effectively processed, the mind and the body are at odds, spiraling and mentally relieving what happened over and over again. This is why true, trauma-informed therapy can be so effective – because it compassionately interrupts the trauma spiral and helps your mind and body safely reconnect.
What We Believe
Trauma responses are not signs of weakness. They are signs of survival.
One of our core beliefs is that trauma isn’t about what’s wrong with you – it’s about what happened to you and how your nervous system is holding on to that experience. Our therapists take a non-pathologizing approach to trauma, meaning we recognize your symptoms as an adaptive, survival response to overwhelming experiences.
Trauma causes a disconnect.
When we say the body keeps the score, what that means is that trauma is stored in the body, and it stays there until the disconnect between the brain and the body is healed. The nervous system can relearn safety, and with proper, trauma-informed care, your mind and body can move toward peace.
Reconnecting to safety, self, and joy is possible.
True healing begins when we tune inward and process the symptoms and signals our body is giving us in a mindful and compassionate way. Guided by somatic, attachment-based, and polyvagal-informed modalities, we help you reconnect to your sense of self so you feel safe in your body again.
Trauma therapy should not be retraumatizing.
Trauma-informed therapy can feel uncomfortable at times, but it should never feel unsafe. You do not need to talk about and relive everything to begin healing. Our expert therapists are trained to help you stay emotionally grounded while they support your recovery.
Your healing. Your definition. Our support.
We honor and respect that every individual’s healing journey is unique, which is why we collaborate with you to create a personalized treatment plan that honors your goals and definition of healing. Whether you are working through trauma, anxiety, or relational hurt, we will walk with you toward lasting, embodied restoration.
Getting Started
Our process is designed to be simple, supportive, and centered around you. Here’s what to expect:
Step 1: Find the right therapist for you.
Browse our therapist bios to learn more about each provider’s specialties and style. If you aren’t sure who may be a good fit for you, one of our office care team members will be happy to help match you with a therapist who can support your needs and goals. For assistance, simply call our office at: 770-575-9393
Step 2: Schedule your first appointment.
Contact your preferred therapist directly through their bio page to request an appointment for either a complimentary 15-minute discovery call or your first therapy session. In order to provide you with the highest-quality care, please complete and submit all new client paperwork before your first official ‘intake session.’
Step 3: Begin with an intake session.
Your first therapy session will explore what brings you to therapy and what healing means and looks like for you. This is a safe space, so please bring your questions and feel free to take things at your own pace. During this first session, your therapist will share a bit more about how they work (including personality, style, and techniques) and what you can expect. Rest assured, our only goal is to help you feel better, and our therapists are well-trained to ensure you feel as comfortable as possible.
Step 4: Collaborate on a personalized treatment plan.
Based on your mental health goals, your therapist will work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan. Your treatment may include evidence-based approaches like EMDR, Internal Family Systems therapy (IFS), Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), somatic experiencing, or movement-based techniques. Of course, the treatment plan is simply a guide to help us focus our collaborate efforts. You remain in full control of your healing experience, and we can adjust the plan as we go and as you wish.
Step 5: Engage in the healing process.
Many people ask, ‘How long will therapy take?’ Our goal is to help you feel some immediate, noticeable relief from your symptoms within the first few sessions. For some clients, that initial relief is enough. Others choose to go deeper to address the root causes of long-standing issues. You have full choice in how far you want to go and what feels like enough to you.
Healing is a layered process – the more we heal, the more we uncover, and the more we’re able to work through. Whether you are looking for symptom relief, deeper healing work, or tools to improve your relationships, your therapist will work closely with you to support your goals and respect your boundaries.
Step 6: Discontinuation or transition
For some people, therapy is for a reason and a season. For others, therapy is part of their on-going self-care routine. Whether you prefer to pause your sessions or maintain your recovery with monthly checkups, our therapists will work closely with you to give you the closure you need on this chapter of your life so you can press on with hope and enjoy a new season.
