What we help with

Trauma & PTSD Therapy

You may be doing a lot to keep life moving while your body still feels on alert. Therapy can offer a place to make sense of what happened, reconnect with yourself, and find more room to choose how you respond.

Trauma can show up in many ways

Some experiences leave you feeling anxious, numb, watchful, disconnected, or quick to react. You might avoid reminders, have trouble resting, or notice that relationships and ordinary decisions take more effort than they used to. Trauma can follow one event, repeated experiences, or a long period of feeling unsafe or unsupported. You do not need a particular label or a perfectly organized story to reach out.

At Wild Roots Therapy, we work with adults navigating trauma and PTSD, including difficult childhood experiences, loss, and events that still affect the present. We begin by understanding your goals and what helps you feel grounded. You have a say in the pace and focus of the work.

What therapy may look like

Build steadiness

We pay attention to safety, coping, and the signs that your nervous system needs more support before moving into difficult material.

Work with patterns as they happen

Experiential therapy can include noticing feelings, body sensations, protective responses, and relationship patterns in the room, alongside conversation.

Find a fitting approach

Depending on your therapist and goals, your care may draw on EMDR, somatic therapy, or other trauma-informed approaches. No one method is required.

You can start without being in crisis

Many people seek therapy because they are functioning on the outside but feel stuck, tense, or unlike themselves. Others want support after a more recent experience. We can talk about what you hope will change and whether our team is a good fit.
