Trauma Therapy

Do you struggle to feel grounded or at ease, even in situations that should feel safe? Maybe you find it difficult to trust others or to connect in relationships. At times, you might feel emotionally numb or disconnected, unsure how to process or express your feelings.

Trauma can leave behind a sense of heaviness, shame, or self-doubt that’s hard to shake. You might notice it impacting your decisions, your parenting, or how you see yourself. Small triggers can bring up intense emotions or leave you feeling out of control, as though the past is still following you.



Does Trauma Still Have a Hold on Your Life?

For some, trauma also manifests as physical tension, constant alertness, or an inability to relax. Others find themselves battling self-criticism or questioning whether they’re “good enough” in relationships, work, or life in general.

Trauma doesn’t simply fade over time, but with the right support, healing is possible. Therapy can help you process the past, rebuild a sense of stability, and create a life that feels authentic, balanced, and safe.


Trauma is a deeply personal experience, but it’s also incredibly common. Whether it stems from childhood experiences, relational wounds, or a significant life event, trauma can affect your sense of self and how you navigate the world.

Many women find themselves carrying trauma long after the initial experience is over. You might notice it showing up in ways such as:
  • Feeling emotionally numb or disconnected from yourself and others.
  • Difficulty trusting people, even those closest to you.
  • Struggles with setting boundaries or expressing your needs.
  • Recurrent feelings of guilt, shame, or self-blame.
  • Emotional overwhelm, especially when parenting or navigating relationships.
  • Feeling on edge, hyper-aware, or unable to fully relax.
  • Experiencing occasional nightmares, flashbacks, or distressing memories.




Trauma Impacts More Women Than You Might Think

These challenges aren’t a sign of weakness—they’re your mind and body’s way of trying to protect you. But trauma doesn’t have to define your life or your future. Therapy can help you process the emotions and experiences tied to your trauma and reclaim your sense of control, confidence, and peace.

How Trauma Therapy Can Help

At Harlowe Counseling, we understand that trauma affects every person differently, which is why we tailor therapy to your unique needs. You don’t have to relive your trauma to heal from it—instead, we’ll work at a pace that feels safe and supportive for you.

Our goal is to help you feel more grounded and empowered by addressing the emotional, relational, and physical impacts of trauma. We’ll support you in creating a life where your past no longer holds you back.

We use evidence-based techniques proven to help clients heal from trauma, including:
  • Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR): A powerful tool for reprocessing traumatic memories and reducing their emotional intensity.
  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): To identify and reframe negative thought patterns that keep you feeling stuck.
  • Mindfulness and Somatic Practices: To help you reconnect with your body and the present moment, building a sense of safety and calm.
  • Trauma-Informed Care: Ensuring that you feel respected, heard, and in control throughout the therapeutic process.

What Does Trauma Therapy Look Like?

Create Safety: Together, we’ll establish a supportive space where you feel secure and in control as you begin your healing process.

Process and Heal: Using tools like EMDR or mindfulness, we’ll address the emotions and beliefs tied to your trauma, allowing you to move forward with less pain and more clarity.

Build Resilience: You’ll learn practical strategies for managing triggers, setting boundaries, and navigating relationships in ways that support your well-being.

Trauma therapy isn’t about erasing the past—it’s about giving you the tools to integrate those experiences, so they no longer control your life.

What Can You Expect from Trauma Therapy?

Reconnect with your emotions and feel more grounded in your daily life.

Build stronger relationships through trust, communication, and boundaries.

Develop tools to regulate emotions and respond to triggers with confidence.

Find relief from feelings of guilt, shame, or emotional overwhelm.

Reclaim a sense of peace, stability, and authenticity.

While trauma may always be a part of your story, it doesn’t have to define your future. Therapy can help you rediscover your strength and build a life that feels safe, fulfilling, and aligned with who you truly are.
