Therapy for Trauma
Healing at your own pace
There are moments in life that change everything. Sometimes it’s a single event: an accident, a loss, an assault. Other times, it’s something that happened slowly, over years: a childhood marked by instability, relationships that made you doubt your worth, or constant stress that left your body on alert.
Whatever your experience, trauma leaves an imprint. You might not have words for it yet, but you feel it in your body, your reactions, and the way you move through the world.
At Anchor Counseling NY, we offer trauma therapy that meets you where you are with compassion, care, and an understanding that healing doesn’t happen overnight. You don’t have to relive your past to move forward. You just have to start, gently, one step at a time.
Our goal: help you feel grounded, connected, and at peace in your own skin again.
What Trauma Can Feel Like
Trauma can affect every part of you: your body, mind, and relationships. You might notice:
Feeling constantly on edge, alert, or unsafe, even in calm situations.
Flashbacks, intrusive thoughts, or memories that surface unexpectedly.
Difficulty trusting others, setting boundaries, or feeling close to people.
Emotional numbness or a sense of being disconnected from yourself.
Physical symptoms like fatigue, tension, or difficulty sleeping.
These responses aren’t signs of weakness. They’re your body’s way of protecting you. Therapy can help you understand those responses and begin to feel safe again.
How Therapy Helps with Trauma
1. Creating safety first.
Healing begins when you feel safe enough to explore what happened at your pace, in your way. Therapy starts with grounding, stability, and trust.
2. Understanding your story.
We help you piece together what your body and mind have been holding, with compassion and care. This isn’t about re-traumatizing. It’s about making meaning and reclaiming your sense of self.
3. Building regulation tools.
Through trauma-informed practices, you’ll learn to calm your nervous system, manage triggers, and connect with your body again.
4. Reconnecting to your life.
Trauma can make the world feel small. Therapy helps you gently open that space again, reconnecting to your relationships, your values, and your sense of possibility.
