Find Healing and Reclaim Your Sense of Self Through Therapy
Trauma can deeply affect nearly every part of your life — from how safe you feel in your own body to how connected you feel to others.
Has a traumatic experience shaken your sense of safety and control? Do you experience flashbacks, nightmares, or intrusive thoughts that keep you tethered to moments of fear or pain? Are you constantly on edge, persistently anxious, emotionally numb, or overwhelmed by grief or sadness?
Whatever you’re carrying, you don’t have to carry it alone.
At Thrive Postpartum, Couples and Family Therapy, we offer compassionate support and evidence-based strategies to help you reclaim safety, self-trust, and emotional steadiness. Healing means you get to live in the present — without being bound by the painful imprints of the past. You can create your life today with clarity, choice, and self-trust, rather than through the lens of old wounds that no longer serve you.
You deserve to feel whole again — not by forgetting what you’ve been through, but by finding strength and peace in how you live with it now.
When Wounds Shape Your World
When trauma lingers, it can seep into your relationships, making communication difficult, trust feel fragile, and emotions overwhelming. It can make even the simplest daily tasks feel exhausting, leaving you disconnected from yourself and those around you. The fear and uncertainty can create a world so small that withdrawing feels like the only way to stay safe. You may find yourself avoiding certain situations, people, or even opportunities for joy—not because you don’t want them, but because protecting yourself feels like the only choice.
We work with individuals who have experienced trauma in many forms, including birth trauma, childhood abuse, relationship betrayal, grief, and significant life events. Our clients often feel disconnected, overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck due to unresolved trauma and the impact it has on their emotional, mental, and physical well-being.
Trauma can hold you back and therapy can provide relief from challenges such as:
Flashbacks, nightmares, or intrusive thoughts
Emotional numbness or feeling disconnected from their body
Hypervigilance, constant anxiety, or panic attacks
Difficulty trusting others or forming healthy relationships
Self-blame, shame, or feelings of unworthiness
Persistent sadness or grief following traumatic events
Challenges related to processing or healing from birth trauma
You Deserve to Feel Whole Again
We support clients in healing from trauma by helping them understand how trauma affects their thoughts, emotions, and bodies. We guide them through a safe, manageable process of releasing painful memories and learning how to regulate their emotions.
Common themes covered in trauma therapy:
- Understanding how trauma affects the nervous system and body
- Addressing birth trauma and its effects on identity, relationships, and parenting
- Processing painful memories in a safe, structured manner
- Regaining emotional regulation, safety, and self-compassion
- Rebuilding trust in relationships and oneself
- Overcoming negative self-beliefs formed from traumatic experiences
Our goal is to help clients feel empowered and regain their sense of self, security, and connection—especially those dealing with birth trauma or other profound life events.
Honoring Your Journey, Helping You Heal
At Thrive Postpartum, Couples, and Family Therapy, we take a trauma-informed approach that integrates EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to help you process and release trauma held in both your mind and body. Additionally, we use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to challenge negative thought patterns, while also guiding you in regulating your nervous system to restore a sense of calm and emotional balance. For those experiencing birth trauma, we integrate specific techniques to address perinatal loss, birth experiences, and postpartum recovery.
In our trauma therapy sessions, we start by creating a safe, trusting environment for clients to begin processing their experiences. Using structured techniques, we help clients gently work through their emotions and memories at their own pace. We focus on grounding and nervous system regulation, helping clients release trapped energy and move toward emotional healing. For those with birth trauma, we address specific challenges related to birth experiences and postpartum recovery while supporting clients through any feelings of loss or disconnection they may face.
