TRAUMA THERAPY & EMDR
RECLAIMING YOUR LIFE AFTER TRAUMA
Trauma can affect how we think, feel, connect with others, and experience the world around us. Whether you're an adult navigating painful past experiences or a parent concerned about your child's emotional well-being, the effects of trauma can show up in many ways -from anxiety and emotional overwhelm to difficulty trusting others, feeling disconnected, or struggling to feel safe.
At Family Solutions Counseling, we provide compassionate, personalized trauma therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy for children, teens, and adults. Whether you're healing from a single distressing event, childhood trauma, emotional abuse, neglect, or ongoing stress - our experienced therapists offer a supportive space to process difficult experiences, build emotional resilience, and move toward healing.
Healing from trauma isn't about forgetting the past, it's about finding freedom from its ongoing impact. Through evidence-based approaches, including EMDR therapy, we help children and adults process difficult experiences, develop healthier coping strategies, and rebuild a sense of safety, connection, and confidence.
You don't have to navigate healing alone. We're here to help.

WHAT IS TRAUMA?
-
UNDERSTANDING TRAUMA AND ITS IMPACT
Trauma is not defined solely by what happened to you- it’s about how your mind and body responded when you were overwhelmed. Trauma can result from a single event, such as an accident, loss, or assault, or develop through repeated experiences like emotional neglect, bullying, abuse, or ongoing stress.
Traumatic experiences can affect the nervous system, emotional regulation, relationships, and our sense of safety. These effects can look different for everyone, particularly children and teens who may not yet have the words to express what they're experiencing.
Common Signs of Trauma in Adults may include:
Persistent anxiety, panic, or consistently feeling on edge
Difficulty sleeping, nightmares, or intrusive memories
Emotional numbness, irritability, or feeling overwhelmed
Avoiding situations, people, or reminders of painful experiences
Difficulty trusting others or maintaining relationships
Feeling disconnected from yourself or struggling with self-worth
Signs of trauma in children and teens may include:
Increased anxiety, fearfulness, or separation difficulties
Emotional outbursts, irritability, or behavioral changes
Sleep disturbances, nightmares, or regression
Withdrawal from friends, family, or activities
Difficulty concentrating or changes in school performance
Increased sensitivity, difficulty regulating emotions, or changes in attachment behaviors
These are not signs of weakness- they are responses to overwhelming stress your system has not yet processed.
Trauma therapy, including EMDR, can help children, teens, and adults process distressing experiences, develop emotional regulation skills, and reduce the ways past experiences interfere with everyday life.

WHAT IS EMDR THERAPY?
An Evidence-Based Approach to Healing from Trauma
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based psychotherapy that helps children, teens, and adults process distressing memories and experiences. Unlike traditional talk therapy, EMDR does not require you to discuss every detail of a painful experience to benefit from treatment.
EMDR uses bilateral stimulation, such as guided eye movements, alternating sounds, or gentle tapping, as part of a structured therapeutic process. This approach can help reduce the emotional intensity of difficult memories and support healthier ways of understanding and responding to past experiences.
EMDR therapy can help with:
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
Distressing memories and traumatic experiences
Trauma-related anxiety and fears
Negative beliefs about yourself connected to past experiences
Emotional triggers associated with trauma
EMDR Therapy for Children & Teens
EMDR can also be adapted to meet the unique developmental needs of children and adolescents. For younger children, therapists may incorporate play, art, storytelling, and other creative techniques to make the process more accessible and engaging. For teens, treatment may more closely resemble adult EMDR while accounting for their emotional development and individual needs.
Treatment is tailored to each child's age, comfort, and readiness, with an emphasis on building coping skills and emotional safety. Parents and caregivers may also be involved in supporting their child's progress throughout therapy.
At Family Solutions Counseling, our goal is to make EMDR therapy a supportive, collaborative experience that helps clients of all ages move toward healing with greater confidence and resilience.
