Find Healing and Lasting Relief with a Trusted Trauma Therapist in Tampa

If you're carrying the weight of a painful experience — whether it happened recently or years ago — you don't have to face it alone. Our practice offers compassionate, evidence-based trauma therapy in Tampa designed to help you process difficult experiences, regulate overwhelming emotions, and reclaim a sense of safety in your body and life.

As an experienced trauma therapist in Tampa, we understand that trauma doesn't look the same for everyone. It can show up as anxiety, hypervigilance, flashbacks, emotional numbness, relationship struggles, or a persistent feeling that something isn't right — even when you can't quite name why. Our goal is to meet you where you are and walk with you toward healing at a pace that feels manageable.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)

A structured approach that helps the brain reprocess traumatic memories so they no longer feel overwhelming.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) & Trauma-Focused CBT

Helps identify and shift the thought patterns that keep trauma responses active.

Somatic Therapy

Addresses how trauma is held in the body, using body-based techniques to release stored tension and stress.

Internal Family Systems (IFS)

Explores the different "parts" of yourself shaped by trauma, fostering self-compassion and internal healing.

Mindfulness-Based Approaches

Builds nervous system regulation skills to reduce anxiety, hypervigilance, and emotional flooding.

Every client is different, so we often integrate multiple approaches to create a treatment plan that fits your specific needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does trauma therapy take?

Every client's timeline is different. Some people notice relief within a few months, while more complex trauma histories may benefit from longer-term care. We'll discuss realistic expectations during your consultation.

Do I have to talk about the traumatic event in detail?

No. Many trauma-focused approaches, like EMDR and somatic therapy, don't require you to recount every detail. Your comfort and safety guide the process.

We accept a variety of insurance plans, including Aetna, United Health, Cigna, Florida Medicaid, Lyra EAP, and Humana, and also offer self-pay and sliding-scale options. Contact our office to verify your specific coverage.
