Your Story Matters
Trauma may have made you feel isolated, but you don’t have to face it on your own anymore. At Sonder Counseling, our therapists are here to walk beside you, to listen, support, and help you find your way forward with compassion and care.
At Sonder Counseling, we know that trauma changes the way you see yourself, others, and the world. You may look like you’re holding it together on the outside, but inside, you might feel constantly on edge, disconnected, or weighed down by memories you can’t seem to escape.
Trauma isn’t just something that happened in the past, it can live in your body and mind long after the event is over. You might blame yourself for not “getting over it,” but what you’re experiencing is a natural response to something deeply overwhelming. Healing isn’t about forgetting what happened — it’s about helping your mind and body feel safe again.
The Lasting Impact of Trauma
Trauma can show up in so many ways:
- Flashbacks, nightmares, or intrusive memories.
- Feeling numb, disconnected, or detached from your emotions.
- Avoiding certain people, places, or situations.
- Feeling constantly on guard, tense, or easily startled.
- Trouble sleeping, concentrating, or relaxing.
- Guilt, shame, or a sense that you’re “broken.”
You might not even think of what you went through as “trauma,” but if something inside you still feels unsettled, afraid, or unsafe — your pain deserves to be acknowledged and cared for.
How Trauma Therapy Helps
At Sonder Counseling, we create a space where you can begin to feel safe — not rushed, not judged, and not alone. Healing from trauma takes patience and trust, and we move at your pace. Our therapists are trauma-informed and use approaches designed to gently reconnect your mind and body.
We draw from evidence-based therapies such as:
- Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT): Helps you process painful memories and reframe the beliefs that keep you stuck.
- Somatic Therapy: Focuses on how trauma lives in the body, helping you release stored tension and reconnect with physical safety.
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): Teaches grounding and emotion regulation skills to help you manage triggers and build resilience.
- Mindfulness-Based Practices: Support calm, presence, and self-compassion as you heal.
Our goal isn’t to make you relive the past — it’s to help you feel safe and in control of your life again.
Reconnecting With Yourself
Healing from trauma is not about “getting back to who you were before.” It’s about growing into someone who feels grounded, whole, and empowered. Through therapy, you can begin to rebuild trust in others, in the world, and most importantly, in yourself.
You deserve to feel safe in your own body and hopeful about your future. With support, those things are possible.
