What is trauma-informed Psychotherapy?

At Carmel Therapy Network, all of our therapists have been trained in trauma-informed care (TIC). 

Our trauma-informed psychotherapists aim to provide specialized, holistic care, utilizing evidence-based practices such as ACT, TF-CBT, DBT, IFS, EFT, EMDR, Somatic work & Mindfulness, and more.

We believe you deserve healing from the stressful symptoms that make it difficult to enjoy your daily life. Connect with a provider at Carmel Therapy to hear more about their skillset and specialties. Our therapists would love to assist you in healing from traumatic experiences and help you feel unstuck. You don’t need a PTSD diagnosis to benefit from trauma-informed care.

A trauma-informed approach means that we acknowledge the impact that past stressful experiences have on our present-day life. A trauma-informed approach in therapy creates a space to honor your emotions and gives you tools to work with your nervous system instead of fighting against it.

Working with a trauma-informed provider will help you better understand how to show up in relationships through a curious lens rather than a judgemental or self-critical space. In a trauma-informed space, you will feel less ashamed of your past self and work towards greater compassion for all parts of you.

Trauma-informed therapy has become more prevalent in recent years as providers and consumers alike have become more aware of its importance and how trauma changes your brain. This type of therapy is specifically designed to address the impact of trauma on a person's mental health and daily experience. Trauma can have long-lasting effects on a person and their nervous system. It is common for those impacted by trauma to struggle with its effects even years after experiencing traumatic events. Overall, trauma-informed therapy is an effective and crucial approach for individuals who have experienced trauma.

The benefits of trauma-informed therapy are unmatched. When people come to Carmel Therapy Network, they have often exhausted other types of treatments that are not trauma-informed. Many have spent years in talk therapy only addressing week-to-week issues and not going deeper to identify the root of their symptoms. On a virtual platform, you can get high-quality care from your home to ensure comfort, safety, and privacy. We have openings if you are interested in healing and want to connect with a trauma-informed therapist at Carmel Therapy Network.
