THERAPY
What happened to you matters. But it doesn’t have to define you forever.
TRAUMA
Trauma can live in the body and mind long after the event is over. You may find yourself repeating the same patterns, feeling triggered by things you can't fully explain, or struggling to feel safe in your own skin. Whether your trauma is tied to specific events or subtle, ongoing experiences from childhood, therapy can help you begin to heal.
At MENTAL PROSPERITY COUNSELING, we provide trauma-informed therapy that helps you make sense of what happened and how it’s still showing up — so you can move forward with clarity and self-compassion.

Signs You Might Be Carrying Unresolved Trauma
Trauma doesn’t always look like flashbacks or panic attacks. It often shows up as patterns that were once protective but are now keeping you stuck. You might notice:
Feeling numb, shut down, or disconnected from your body
Difficulty trusting others or feeling safe in relationships
Persistent anxiety, hypervigilance, or startle responses
A sense of being “too much” or “not enough”
People-pleasing, perfectionism, or avoiding conflict
Chronic guilt, shame, or self-criticism
Emotional overwhelm or difficulty managing your reactions
Repeating unhealthy relationship or behavioral patterns
Many of these patterns are learned responses to painful experiences, often from early in life. They were ways you adapted in order to survive. Now, therapy can help you unlearn what’s no longer serving you.
How Therapy Can Help
Trauma therapy is not about rehashing your pain over and over. It's about understanding how your past shaped your present, and gently creating space for something new. Together, we will:
Identify the connection between past experiences and current patterns
Learn how your nervous system responds to perceived threat or safety
Work with the body as well as the mind to process stored trauma
Rebuild self-trust and emotional resilience
Explore boundaries, identity, and inner child work
Shift out of survival mode and into more intentional living
We use a trauma-informed, compassionate approach that may integrate modalities such as EMDR, somatic strategies, mindfulness, DBT skills, and inner child or parts work. Therapy is always paced to match your readiness and capacity.
What to Expect in Sessions
We understand that trauma can make trusting others — even a therapist — feel scary or overwhelming. Our goal is to create a space where you feel emotionally safe, respected, and in control. In sessions, you can expect:
A therapist who understands trauma and its impact on the nervous system
A collaborative pace where you choose what to explore and when
Grounding and regulation tools to support emotional safety
Exploration of past experiences with compassion, not judgment
A balance of emotional insight and practical strategies
This is not about fixing you. It’s about coming home to parts of yourself that had to go quiet in order to survive.

FAQs About TRAUMA Therapy
Q: Do I have to talk about everything that happened to me?

Q: What if I don’t have a “big trauma”?
A: Many people carry the effects of ongoing, subtle, or relational trauma — like emotional neglect, criticism, or unpredictability in childhood. These experiences are valid and can be deeply impactful.
Q: Do you offer trauma therapy online?
A: Yes. We offer secure, virtual therapy sessions designed to be as safe and effective as in-person care.
