Therapy for Trauma

Helping adults discover ways to manage whatever life throws at them.

Moving Toward Balance

Moving Toward Balance

Sometimes life sucks. Perhaps right now, it’s one of those times. Most people who start therapy for trauma feel lost in life on some level, unsure of how to find their way. Perhaps you can relate. Maybe you don’t look forward to much or you feel like you want to escape your life.

Stuck in negativity and feeling miserable all the time, you may feel like life is spent constantly feeling unbalanced.

Do You Feel Ashamed, Empty, Overwhelmed?

Do any of the following resonate with you?

  • You feel lonely, even when you are with others.
  • You feel fear stricken, even in the "comfort" of your own home.
  • You wake up every morning feeling overwhelmed and depressed.
  • You feel like you're living at a frenzied pace leaving you frazzled and stressed.
  • You feel like you are wandering through life, feeling like something is missing or your balance is "off."

If these sound true for you, I want you to know that even if you are really struggling, nothing is wrong with you. What you are experiencing is normal and it’s okay to ask for help. Even if you don’t believe you deserve care, you do. You deserve to take care of yourself.

Therapy for Trauma Can Help You Feel Less Anxiety And Stress

It’s possible to feel better. Imagine a life where you could…

  • Stop worrying all the time.
  • Shift into a more positive and hopeful outlook on life.
  • Improve your relationship with yourself and those you choose to share yourself with.
  • Stop letting anxiety affect the way you live or make any decisions for you.

How Therapy for Trauma Works

Therapy for Trauma consists of 55 or 85-minute, one-on-one sessions that help you work through your concerns. In addition to listening, I will share what the science tells us about what’s going on for you and encourage you to feel your feelings safely. I play an active role. Here’s how it will work step-by-step:

  1. First, I provide a safe, accepting space so that you will feel comfortable sharing your struggles with me.
  2. Through hearing your story, I will start to get a picture of what your challenges are.
  3. We will start with helping you with immediate concerns like managing difficult emotions and challenging life situations
  4. We will also work to discover what your goals are in therapy and in life.
  5. Keeping your unique goals in mind, we’ll figure out what’s needed to help you reach them
  6. Over the course of our sessions, you will start making progress towards the life you desire.


Research shows that therapy for trauma can positively change your thinking, beliefs, emotions, and behaviors. It can help you let go of what’s holding you back.

Navigate Life’s Challenges With Ease

Therapy for Trauma helps you rise above your challenges and start moving towards your ideal life with less less stress and more calm

You will learn the effective skills you need to move through difficult life experiences and see patterns that you couldn’t on your own.

Even if you are not usually comfortable opening up to people, therapy for trauma may be able to help.

I’ve helped people struggling with withdrawal and anxiety find their way to feeling more settled and interested in life again. My clients discover that it’s possible to live life without frenzy.

My name is Peter H Addy and I am a therapist and trauma expert who is here to help.
