Trauma Counseling

Trauma can feel like a weight you can't escape. Whether from the past or present, it leaves a mark on your mind, body, and spirit. You may feel stuck, held back by memories, fear, or overwhelming emotions. The impact can make it hard to feel whole again. But trauma counseling can help you heal those wounds and find a path forward.

At Pear Tree Therapy, I believe everyone deserves space to heal and grow. I offer compassionate, professional trauma counseling for individuals, couples, and families. 

Together, we’ll process and understand the trauma in your life and create strategies to help you move beyond it.
Trauma counseling is designed to help individuals process and heal from past painful experiences.

Whether it's from childhood trauma, loss, abuse, or an unexpected event, trauma counseling can guide you through understanding your emotions and reactions. 

What to Expect from Trauma Counseling

You’ve decided to prioritize your mental health, researched therapists, and now you’re ready for your first trauma counseling session. Here's what you can expect:

  • A Safe Space: Trauma counseling is about creating a secure environment where you can talk openly. We value every client equally, providing care that respects your individuality and needs.

  • Personalized Therapy: Therapy is not a one-size-fits-all process. While our therapist is trained in strengths-based approaches like Solution-Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Collaborative Language Systems, trauma counseling will be tailored to your unique situation and personal strengths.

  • Support Through the Ups and Downs: Some sessions may bring difficult emotions to the surface, and there may be tears, frustration, or discomfort. However, trauma counseling is also about finding hope and celebrating progress. Healing takes time, and we’ll be here to support you through every phase of your journey.

Healing isn’t one-size-fits-all, and I personalize my approach to give you a sense of safety and control.

The healing experience is different for everyone, but it starts with understanding how trauma has shaped your thoughts, emotions, and behavior. 

Trauma often surfaces in ways you might not expect: feeling numb, irritable, or disconnected from others. You might have flashbacks or experience moments where it feels like the past is creeping into the present. 

These effects don’t define you, and therapy can offer a safe, supportive space to begin the healing process.

During trauma counseling, we work to:

  • Uncover the impact of trauma on your life, helping you understand how it shapes your reactions and decisions.

  • Process unresolved experiences, allowing you to express difficult emotions safely and understand their effects.

  • Strengthen your coping strategies, so you can face triggers and difficult emotions with resilience and balance.

  • Reconnect with a sense of safety, developing new tools and perspectives that allow you to feel empowered and present in the here and now.


You don’t have to face your trauma alone

Trauma counseling is a path to understanding and healing from painful experiences. At Pear Tree Therapy, I’m committed to walking alongside you, providing guidance, and support every step of the way.

Let me help you find peace and empowerment through dedicated trauma counseling.

  • Currently, our therapists are meeting in person or through virtual sessions. We use a secure HIPAA platform (Simple Practice) to conduct virtual video sessions which you can access on your computer, tablet, or phone.

  • All major credit cards are accepted for payment.

  • Because it is difficult to fill a cancelled appointment without sufficient notice, appointments cancelled without 24 hours notice and missed (no-show) appointments will be charged the full cost of the session.

  • We are not in-network with any insurance companies, so we do not bill directly. With PPO insurance plans, we are considered out-of-network providers and you may be reimbursed in full or in part, depending on your coverage. We can provide you with a monthly superbill to give to your insurer that is a receipt of services that may meet the criteria for individual mental health diagnosis (a requirement for any insurance compensation). Please check your coverage by asking the following questions:

    Does my plan provide out-of-network reimbursement for mental health?

    Is there a deductible I need to meet before you will start to reimburse me?

    How many sessions per year does my health insurance cover?

    What percentage of the fee do you cover?

  • You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your health care will cost

    Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have certain types of health care coverage or who are not using certain types of health care coverage an estimate of their bill for health care items and services before those items or services are provided.

    • You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any health care items or services upon request or when scheduling such items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.

    • If you schedule a health care item or service at least 3 business days in advance, make sure your health care provider or facility gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing within 1 business day after scheduling. If you schedule a health care item or service at least 10 business days in advance, make sure your health care provider or facility gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing within 3 business days after scheduling. You can also ask any health care provider or facility for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service. If you do, make sure the health care provider or facility gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing within 3 business days after you ask.

    • If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more for any provider or facility than your Good Faith Estimate from that provider or facility, you can dispute the bill.
