About Trauma Counseling in Scottsdale, AZ
Trauma can have a profound impact on an individual's physical and emotional well-being, and it can be beneficial to seek professional help to cope with the effects of such experiences. For most people, trauma impacts:
-
Thoughts (for example, thinking one is responsible, thinking one is unloved, thinking one is unsafe)
-
Body (people with trauma get stuck in the fight or flight response and are constantly on alert and hypervigilant. They may be quick to anxiety, anger and other strong emotions)
-
Lifestyle (people with trauma history often avoid people, places, and events. They often have a difficult time implementing healthy routines like exercise or eating healthy)
Our therapists are equipped with extensive training and experience in evidence-based therapies like Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), Brainspotting (BSP), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) to address the underlying issues of trauma.
We are committed to creating a safe and supportive environment where our patients can explore their emotions, gain a deeper understanding of their experiences, and develop effective coping mechanisms. Our goal is to empower individuals to build resilience and move forward in their lives with confidence and renewed hope.
Don't let trauma continue to hold you back from living your best life. Contact us today to schedule a consultation and take the first step towards healing.
Types of Trauma Therapy We Offer
Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) and Trauma Focused CBT (TF-CBT)
Brainspotting (BSP)
EMDR is a structured therapeutic approach designed to help individuals process and integrate distressing memories and experiences. It involves guiding clients through a series of eye movements or other forms of bilateral stimulation while they recall traumatic events, facilitating the processing and re-framing of these memories. EMDR helps reduce the emotional charge of traumatic memories, allowing individuals to heal and move forward with greater emotional resilience and clarity.
Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) are evidence-based therapies designed to address trauma-related disorders. CPT helps individuals understand and reframe distorted thoughts related to trauma, facilitating emotional healing by changing unhelpful thinking patterns. TF-CBT integrates cognitive-behavioral techniques with trauma-focused strategies to help individuals process and cope with traumatic experiences, improving emotional regulation and reducing symptoms of PTSD.
Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is a therapeutic approach that uses guided imagery and rapid eye movements to help individuals process and resolve distressing memories and emotional issues. By targeting the way memories are stored and processed in the brain, ART aims to quickly alleviate symptoms of trauma and anxiety. This therapy helps individuals reframe their experiences, reducing emotional distress and promoting faster healing.
BrainSpotting is a therapeutic technique that identifies and processes areas of the brain where unresolved trauma or emotional distress is stored, using specialized eye positions to access and release these issues. By focusing on specific "brainspots," the therapy facilitates deep emotional processing and healing. This approach helps individuals resolve trauma and improve emotional well-being by targeting the root of their distress at a neural level.
"After doing years of talk therapy, I met with one of the counselors at BrainBody to do EMDR. It completely changed my life, I had no idea that just talking about my trauma was not helping the way I thought it would. I recommend everyone try EMDR now!"
