Trauma and PTSD Therapy in Texas

When you are overcome with physical or emotional stress, your brain isn’t able to adequately “digest” the trauma, causing your nervous system to become hyper-aroused.

Staying in this high-alert state too long can lead to feeling frozen, paralyzed, numb, or in an endless loop of fight or flight symptoms. To escape, you may find yourself doom-scrolling on TikTok or Instagram or binging Netflix for hours.

In one of these fight, flight, or freeze states, your brain’s biology causes the deeper parts of your mind to respond as if the trauma is still happening, convincing you to shut down or escape the “dangerous” situation. This trauma response is caused by a distressing event in your past that your brain and body have not fully processed. As a result, your emotions, thinking, relationships, behavior, and even physical health are all negatively impacted.

The adverse effects from trauma are far-reaching for your body and mind, so to heal on a deeper level, you need in-person trauma therapy in Houston or online trauma and PTSD counseling in Texas that addresses both.

That’s just what you’ll find at Resilience Counseling and Wellness.

Successful trauma therapy restores the feeling of safety in your body and allows you to resolve negative feelings and symptoms associated with the trauma. Our therapists use a combination of somatic therapies, which include EMDR therapy and Brainspotting therapy, as well as cognitive, experiential, humanistic, and psychodynamic perspectives to help integrate your traumatic memories and emotions into your “normal” memory so they no longer hold the “emotional charge” over your life.

Our therapists don’t just help you cope with the distressing emotional and physical symptoms. We help you heal what is at the root of it all while teaching you skills you can continue to use to maintain your progress.

At Resilience Counseling and Wellness, we value trauma-informed care and have the training to show for it. We go beyond traditional Cognitive Behavioral and talk therapy to reach the heart of the matter, allowing you to develop a stronger sense of self and feel more empowered to make healthy life decisions.

Some of our holistic options for trauma therapy and PTSD counseling include:

• Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
• Brainspotting
• Somatic Therapy
• NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM)

Whether you’ve experienced trauma or PTSD from sexual abuse, emotional or verbal abuse, loss of a loved one, religious trauma, separation, or any number of traumatic events, we’ll curate the ideal trauma therapy treatment to help heal your body and mind.

We’re also the only therapy practice in the Houston area offering several wellness options in addition to therapy to promote an even deeper level of healing, self-acceptance, and overall life fulfillment.

Because we strive to understand what it is like to be you, we’ll never force our agenda or what we think you need. Instead, we will explore your struggles and how you would like to feel while educating you on how to resolve things.

Whatever you want for yourself is what we want for you. We will work together to develop a comfortable and supportive treatment plan for you and your unique situation. Even if you don’t know what you want for yourself or how you would like to feel, we’ll help you figure that out.

Throughout this process, we’ll encourage curiosity and exploration so you can learn how to start trusting your body and yourself to make positive changes you’ve wanted to make for years. We’ll help you reach whatever goals or intentions you set for yourself, even those you never considered a possibility.
