Starting Trauma therapy

What is Trauma therapy?

Trauma therapy is a therapeutic approach that focuses on treating the psychological impact of traumatic events on individuals. Trauma therapy helps people process and heal from their trauma by guiding them through their trauma in a compassionate and supportive way, allowing clients to feel the full scope of what happened to them and eventually move on from the event(s). This process helps people who have experienced trauma find ways to feel safe in their life.

How does Trauma therapy work?

Trauma therapy will often require individuals to walk through their experiences in a controlled and compassionate setting (unless the client has a dissociative disorder) so that they can fully process the event, an activity that will allow them to move on from what happened and feel safe again. Thriveworks Alpharetta therapists will also help clients learn healthy coping mechanisms to deal with their symptoms outside of therapy.

Is Trauma therapy conducted in person or online?

Thriveworks trauma counseling in Alpharetta, GA is conducted both in person and online through online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.

How long does Trauma therapy last?

If an individual is working through a single event that occurred during adulthood, they may only need a few months of treatment. However, in instances of childhood trauma or repeated traumatic events, therapy may continue over the course of years. Trauma therapy usually ends when the client believes they have met their therapeutic goals, however long that takes to occur. Thriveworks therapists in Alpharetta, GA will continue to provide care for as long as necessary to help clients meet their therapeutic needs.

Need more help deciding?

If you have experienced trauma in your life, you may be struggling with deep emotional pain, fear, painful memories, and impacted personal relationships. You may be experiencing symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, anxiety or depression. Whether the trauma happened recently or a long time ago, you can experience hope, healing and wellness again. Our therapists at Thriveworks Alpharetta have the expertise and compassion to guide, support and encourage you as you embark on this healing process. Therapy is confidential and tailored around your needs, with you setting the pace.

Thriveworks Alpharetta provides several counseling options for trauma survivors. For those who would like to work with a therapist one on one, we have individual counseling. For people who would prefer to engage in a setting with other trauma survivors, we offer group counseling. For people who have completed an initial phase of therapy, but would like to participate in ongoing support and encouragement, we offer life coaching. We at Thriveworks Alpharetta understand that making the decision to enter trauma counseling can be difficult. We want you to know that at Thriveworks, you will find kindness, compassion, support and the expertise you need to begin your healing journey.
