Intensive trauma therapy literally saved me from falling into a place of not wanting to leave my home.

Uncomplicate trauma. Tackle PTSD.

Trauma is more common than often realized.

In fact, over 70% of U.S. adults — more than 223 million people — have experienced at least one traumatic event in their lifetime.

trauma can happen to anyone, anywhere, at any time.

Overwhelming life experiences can range from single events like car accidents, assaults, sudden deaths, or medical diagnoses, to ongoing traumas such as childhood abuse, violence, duty-induced stress, or betrayal. Whether sudden or ongoing, historical or recent, any experience of trauma event can increase the risk of developing PTSD.

But trauma doesn’t always show up as a diagnosis. Many post-trauma responses just linger—physically, emotionally, or relationally. If something in you hasn’t fully settled, you’re not imagining it—and you don’t have to stay stuck there.

Consider this your invitation to heal.

Intensive Trauma Therapy can be your "fast pass" to move beyond the past, reclaim your present, and welcome in the future.Trauma leaves an imprint—but it doesn’t have to define your path forward.

This is exhausting, but it is the best and most helpful therapy I have ever received.

When talking alone doesn't give you the relief you deserve

✓ You’ve tried talk therapy, but core pain still lingers beneath the surface.

✓ You’re tired of feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you.

✓ You know the past is over—but your body hasn’t gotten the message.

✓ You want real progress, but life doesn't give you space for long-term therapy.

Intensive Trauma Therapy can help you move forward, better.

Here's how:

✓ More time in session so you never feel rushed by a ticking clock

✓ A clear, focused plan with built-in momentum

✓ Flexible scheduling that fits into your life, FMLA, or medical leave

✓ Deep, evidence-based work that honors both brain and body

✓ Fully centered on you—your pace, your goals, your story

✓ Relief that doesn’t take forever

This has freed up my brain to be able to grieve properly for the first time, in a very different way.
