TF-CBT (Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) is an evidence-based treatment for children and adolescents who have experienced trauma. I have witness the transformation with children and adolescents when using this practice. It integrates cognitive-behavioral techniques to help them process and cope with traumatic experiences, involving phases like psychoeducation, skill-building, trauma narrative, and cognitive restructuring for distorted throughts, often with parental involvement.

I'm trained in EMDR. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is a therapeutic approach that was developed in the late 1980s. It is primarily used to treat individuals who have experienced trauma, although it has also been applied to other mental health conditions such as anxiety, phobias, and depression. It is a structured and evidence-based therapy that aims to help individuals process and integrate distressing memories in order to reduce their emotional impact and facilitate healing.

Somatic therapy is a holistic approach to psychotherapy that considers the mind-body connection integral to healing. It focuses on bodily sensations, emotions, and physical responses to address psychological issues, anxiety disorders, chronic pain, associated with trauma. Techniques include mindfulness, movement, breath work, and body awareness to release stored trauma in the body and promote overall well-being. It like applying acupuncture to the nervous system.
