Trauma-Informed Therapy in Las Vegas, NV
Trauma isn’t only what happened—it’s how your mind and body adapted to survive. If past experiences still affect how safe you feel, how you cope under stress, or how you show up in relationships, trauma-informed therapy can help you build stability and reduce the intensity of those responses.
Many people look for trauma therapy when anxiety, shutdown, shame, or relationship patterns feel tied to past experiences—and that’s exactly what this work supports.
In-person sessions available in Northwest Las Vegas and virtual sessions across Nevada.
You might be in the right place if…
You feel on edge, hyperaware, or easily overwhelmed
You shut down, go numb, or feel disconnected when emotions get intense
You struggle with shame, self-criticism, or a persistent “not enough” narrative
You have anxiety that feels bigger than the situation in front of you
Relationships feel triggering—fear of rejection, difficulty trusting, or pulling away
You keep repeating patterns you understand logically, but can’t seem to change
Trauma can show up in everyday life as…
Overthinking, rumination, or worst-case-scenario planning
People-pleasing, overfunctioning, or constantly managing others’ emotions
Irritability, anger, or feeling “activated” quickly
Avoidance, procrastination, or shutting down in conflict
Feeling unsafe in your body (tight chest, racing heart, tension, insomnia)
Difficulty feeling close, calm, or secure—even when things are going well
Trauma Therapy That Includes the Body (Somatic) and Skills (CBT/DBT)
Trauma work isn’t about forcing your story or reliving everything that happened. We start with stabilization—so your nervous system has more capacity—and we move at a pace that supports safety, choice, and control. We’ll identify triggers, notice how your body responds, and work within your window of tolerance so you feel resourced rather than flooded. Over time, this helps reduce reactivity, shutdown, shame, and the patterns that keep repeating in relationships.
Safety and stabilization first: Build internal safety and coping capacity before going deeper.
Somatic/nervous system regulation: Body-based tools to help your system come out of threat mode.
CBT support: Work with trauma-related thought loops, beliefs, and self-criticism that keep you stuck.
DBT-informed skills: Emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness you can use immediately.
Attachment-based support: Understand how early experiences shape connection, boundaries, and trust.
Gentle processing when you’re ready: We only move into deeper processing when it feels safe and supported.
What can change over time
Triggers feel less intense and recovery is faster
You feel calmer and more grounded in your body
Less shame and self-blame; more self-trust and self-compassion
Clearer boundaries and healthier relationship choices
More secure connection—with yourself and with others
More choice in how you respond, instead of automatic survival reactions
