Do You Feel Trapped by Your Past?
Do you feel trapped by your past or burdened by unresolved traumas?

Once addressed, you can rediscover yourself. Trauma therapy can help you process your experiences and develop coping skills to move forward. At Towler Counseling, our team of skilled counselors, trained in trauma therapy, is here to support you through traumatic events and help you heal. Taking the next step may be difficult, but we offer a supportive and empathetic environment.
What is Trauma?
Trauma is an emotional response caused by a disturbing, upsetting, or life-changing event. PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) is a specific form of trauma. Trauma can result from a single event or multiple experiences throughout your life.
The effects of trauma can significantly impact your mental, physical, and emotional well-being. Many people are grappling with trauma without realizing it is the root cause of their struggles. Traumatic events can lead to PTSD, characterized by an emotional response to a distressing event such as an accident, assault, or natural disaster.
In the immediate aftermath, feelings of shock and denial are common. Long-term reactions may include unpredictable emotions, flashbacks, strained relationships, and even physical symptoms like headaches or nausea.
Processing Your Trauma
Are You Stuck in the Past? PTSD Treatment Can Help!
Healing from trauma can be a challenging journey, but you don’t have to face it alone. Our counselors are trained in various trauma therapy techniques and are here to help you process your experiences, allowing you to find closure and peace.
Trauma-Informed Therapy
Trauma-informed therapy assists individuals in processing traumatic events by demonstrating an understanding and sensitivity to trauma-related issues. In this type of therapy, therapists employ various interventions to help clients process their trauma.
The aim of trauma-informed treatment is to empower clients with skills and strategies that enable them to comprehend and address how trauma impacts their lives and behaviors. Trauma therapists prioritize physical and emotional safety, collaboration, transparency, and competency in their sessions.
This approach encourages clients to explore their trauma more deeply and understand its effects. Trauma-informed therapy benefits not only those who have experienced trauma in childhood or adulthood but also fosters emotional safety for individuals who may not specifically be seeking trauma-related treatment.
Moreover, a trauma-sensitive approach is harmless to those who do not require trauma-informed care. As a result, many providers integrate trauma-informed principles into every session, not just those focused on specific traumas. Clients are informed that trauma work can be exhausting and may take time, but the outcomes are ultimately worthwhile.
Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
(TF-CBT)
TF-CBT is an evidence-based treatment proven to address emotional and behavioral issues in children and adolescents affected by trauma. Developed by Drs. Anthony Mannarino, Judith Cohen, and Esther Deblinger, TF-CBT has been evaluated and refined for over 25 years to facilitate recovery after trauma.
This conjoint therapy involves working with both the child or adolescent and their parents or caregivers. TF-CBT employs a skills-based approach to assist clients in healing from trauma, including controlled exposure to the trauma narrative and associated reminders — conducted collaboratively so the client retains agency over their experience.
The aim is to restore the client's sense of control, self-confidence, and predictability while decreasing avoidance behaviors. TF-CBT is a short-term intervention lasting between eight and 25 sessions, typically conducted in an office setting. Treatment begins with separate sessions for the child and caregiver, progressing to joint sessions as therapy advances.
EMDR Therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
EMDR therapy is a psychotherapy treatment shown to help individuals recover from traumatic and distressing experiences. EMDR is effective in alleviating symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, depression, and panic disorders related to trauma. It has gained wide acceptance in the field of trauma therapy.
EMDR follows a phased, focused approach to treating trauma by safely and gradually reconnecting clients with the images, thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations associated with their trauma. This process harnesses the brain's natural healing abilities to move toward resolution.
Symptoms may arise when trauma overwhelms the brain's capacity to heal, but EMDR helps facilitate this healing through bilateral stimulation while the client processes their trauma in the secure environment of the therapist's office.
Through EMDR, individuals can reprocess traumatic memories until they no longer invoke negative feelings or distressing symptoms. The therapy utilizes eight phases of treatment to aid clients in overcoming their trauma.
