PTSD doesn’t just live in your past—it lingers in your body, your thoughts, your relationships, and your everyday life. But it doesn’t have to stay that way. At Turn the Mind, we help you break free from the grip of trauma so you can move forward without being weighed down by the past. How Does Trauma Therapy Help? - Unstick painful memories from the intense emotions holding them in place. - Take the power back—trauma loses its grip, symptoms fade, and the past stays in the past.

SE is a therapeutic approach that focuses on how the body responds to trauma and stress. By exploring physical sensations and bodily experiences, this method helps individuals release pent-up tension and regulate their nervous system. Somatic Experiencing aims to restore a sense of safety and ease in the body, allowing individuals to process and heal from traumatic events. By addressing the physical manifestations of trauma, this approach can support individuals in reconnecting with their body.

Depression can make everything feel heavy and out of reach. We offer evidence-based treatment that actually meets you where you are — including DBT, CBT, and ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) for those who haven't found relief through traditional approaches. Our practice is LGBTQIA+-affirming, with clinicians who bring both expertise and lived experience to their work. You deserve care that gets it right.

Healing from trauma isn't one-size-fits-all. Our therapists are specially trained in three of the most effective, body-informed approaches to PTSD treatment — EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy — each designed to help your nervous system process what words alone can't reach. We'll work with you to find the right fit, blending approaches when helpful. Whether you're just beginning to name what happened or have been in therapy before, you're in experienced hands here.
