Trauma Therapy and EMDR Treatment in Frederick, Maryland
We understand trauma and know how to treat it. Our team of 20+ licensed therapists provides specialized, evidence-based care for children, teens, and adults.
Does any of this feel familiar?
- You've tried to move past something, but it keeps showing up in your body, your sleep, or your relationships.
- You feel on edge, like you're always waiting for something bad to happen.
- Your child is struggling, and you're not sure if what you're seeing is "normal" or something that needs professional support.
- You've tried therapy before and it helped some, but the deeper stuff is still there.
- You want to work with someone who actually specializes in trauma, not someone who lists it alongside 30 other things.
If any of that resonated, you're in the right place. And if you're not sure yet, that's okay too.
How We Help
Our practice is built around one thing: helping people heal from trauma. Here are three ways to find the right care for you.
A note on what we treat
Trauma is what unifies us
People sometimes read "trauma specialists" and assume we are only the right fit for someone with PTSD or a clear trauma history. The day-to-day work in our practice covers a lot more than that.
Every therapist on our team is trained in trauma-focused work and EMDR. That training is what unifies us, and it is why we call ourselves trauma specialists. Most weeks our clinicians are also working with anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, life transitions, parenting struggles, and the many other reasons people come to therapy. Therapy is therapy.
If you are not sure whether your reason for reaching out fits, you are still welcome to reach out. We will tell you what we think.
Our therapists offer expertise in trauma therapy and our clients offer expertise on themselves. Together, we work to pursue healing.
