Trauma Therapy in New York City: Integrative Therapy for Nervous System Healing
Trauma can leave you feeling constantly on edge, easily overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself.
At times, it might feel like your nervous system is stuck on high alert—or the opposite, like you’ve gone numb and far away from everything.
Trauma therapy offers a space to work through these patterns gently, reconnect with your body, and begin to feel more steady, supported, and like yourself again.
You might be here if…
You feel like your nervous system is always on high alert
Anxiety, panic, or dread show up suddenly and intensely
You struggle to relax, even in safe spaces
You feel disconnected from your body, emotions, or the people around you
Memories, flashbacks, or racing thoughts keep resurfacing
Patterns from the past continue to affect your daily life
Trauma isn’t only about what happened to you—it’s about how your body and nervous system experienced it. These are not flaws—they are your nervous system’s way of trying to protect you
A Different Approach: Nervous System Healing
Traditional talk therapy can be helpful, but trauma often lives beyond words, in the body and nervous system.
That’s why I use an integrative therapy approach focused on nervous system healing.
This means we don’t just talk about what happened, we work with how it’s held in your body, your emotions, and your internal patterns so that real shifts can happen at a deeper level.
Your experience is unique, so therapy should be too.
I draw from several evidence-based approaches, including:
How I Work: Integrative Trauma Therapy
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing
01
Helps your brain process and integrate past experiences so they feel less intense and no longer trigger the same emotional reactions. Learn more here
Focuses on releasing trauma held in the body, helping your nervous system move out of fight, flight, or freeze and into a more regulated state. Learn more here
02
Somatic Experiencing (SE)
AEDP (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy)
03
Supports emotional processing in a safe, connected way, helping you access resilience, clarity, and a stronger sense of self. Learn more here
IFS (Internal Family Systems)
Helps you understand and work with different “parts” of yourself—like the inner critic, the anxious part, or the part that shuts down—with compassion rather than judgment. Learn more here

You don’t need to have experienced a major or obvious trauma to benefit from trauma therapy. Many people seek support because they feel anxious, overwhelmed, stuck in patterns, or disconnected from themselves.

Trauma therapy sessions are collaborative and paced to feel safe. You might talk about current challenges, explore patterns in your thoughts and relationships, learn tools to regulate your nervous system, and—when ready—process past experiences using approaches like EMDR or somatic therapy.

The length of trauma therapy depends on your goals and experiences. Some people notice changes within a few sessions, while others benefit from longer-term work to support deeper healing. The focus is not on rushing, but on creating steady, lasting change.
