What Is Trauma Therapy?
Trauma is a deeply personal experience, often stemming from events that overwhelm our capacity to cope, leaving a lasting impact on our minds, bodies, and spirits.
It's important to understand that trauma isn't just about "big" events like accidents or assaults.
Trauma can also result from prolonged stress, neglect, medical procedures, or chronic difficult relational patterns.
This prolonged state of unrest can cause massive amounts of damage to your life if left unchecked.
That is why we at Ready For Healing, LLC take trauma seriously and show up to support our clients in ways that go beyond surface level check-ins.
Our trauma therapy integrates evidence-based modalities designed to help you QUICKLY process past wounds and develop lasting resilience.
While EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a core and powerful tool for many, our approach is flexible.
We aim to support the whole person, with a holistic trauma-informed approach.

Trauma Therapy FAQs
Common Questions About Trauma Therapy...
1. Is virtual Trauma Therapy as effective as in-person?
Yes, extensive research and clinical experience have shown that virtual Trauma Therapy is just as effective as in-person sessions for processing trauma and achieving lasting relief. Including, but not limited to, PTSD and C-PTSD.
The secure online environment allows for a safe and focused therapeutic space.
2. What technology do I need for virtual Trauma Therapy sessions?
You will need a reliable internet connection, a device with a larger screen (computer or tablet) with a working camera and microphone, and a private, comfortable space where you won't be interrupted during your session.
We utilize a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform for all sessions.
3. How long does Trauma Therapy usually take?
Because we practice EMDR therapy, our patients often get results extremely quickly.
But Trauma Therapy generally varies for each individual, depending on the complexity of the trauma, the number of issues to address, and your personal healing goals.
Some clients experience significant relief in a few sessions, while others benefit from longer-term support. We will discuss a personalized treatment plan during your initial consultation.
4. Will I have to relive my trauma in therapy?
You will NOT have to re-live your trauma in therapy.
EMDR trauma therapy is unique in that it protects you from re-living your traumatic experiences while you resolve them.
We will equip you with effective resources and coping skills to protect yourself, manage distress, allowing for healing.
5. What should I expect during my first session?
In your first session, you’ll discuss your current concerns and goals with your therapist. She will help you understand the therapy process, create a treatment plan, and start working on meeting your goals.
6. What makes EMDR different from traditional talk therapy for complex trauma or PTSD?
While talk therapy is valuable, EMDR specifically targets distressing memories and helps the brain reprocess them.
Unlike some talk therapies that primarily focus on discussing the trauma, EMDR helps clients heal by helping them come to a different understanding about what they've experienced. This new understanding/belief helps to resolve painful symptoms like flashbacks, heightened irritability, and body tension/pain.
Often leading to quicker and more profound shifts in how the trauma impacts you emotionally and physically, particularly in the context of PTSD or more complex trauma.
7. How do I prepare for my first virtual EMDR session?
To prepare, ensure you have a quiet, private space where you feel comfortable and won't be disturbed.
Test your internet connection and device camera/microphone. Make sure to have water and a comfort item (pet, photo, stress ball, etc.) nearby.
We will discuss the process thoroughly during your initial consultation to ensure you feel prepared and at ease.
8. How do I know if I have trauma and if therapy is right for me?
Trauma can be felt in numerous ways, and it's not always tied to a single, obvious event.
Symptoms can include chronic anxiety, difficulty sleeping, relationship problems, low self-esteem, feeling easily overwhelmed, emotional numbness, or physical tension.
If you suspect past experiences are affecting your present well-being or daily functioning, trauma therapy is often the best path forward.
It’s a safe space to express yourself and gain insights into your emotions, and if you’re uncertain, an initial consultation can help determine if trauma therapy is the move for you.
9. How does confidentiality (privacy) work in virtual therapy?
If you express threats of harm to yourself or others, or it is suspected that a child or vulnerable adult is being abused or neglected this information is required by law to be reported to keep you and others safe.
Ready For Healing, LLC uses secure, encrypted platforms and strictly adheres to all HIPAA regulations and ethical guidelines for virtual therapy.
We will discuss specific privacy measures and best practices during your initial consultation to ensure you feel completely safe and secure in your virtual sessions.
10. How do I make an appointment?
Making an appointment is easy! Simply contact us through our website, email, or phone, and our team will assist you in scheduling a session that fits your availability.
We offer flexible appointment times, including evening sessions, to accommodate your schedule.
