What happened to you
still matters,
even if it happened a long time ago.
Trauma doesn't always stay in the past. It can show up in the body, in relationships, in the moments you least expect it. Our team offers trauma-informed care, including EMDR, to help you process what happened and find steadier ground in the present.

How We Help
We begin with a comprehensive
psychiatric assessment, then build a treatment plan around trauma-informed
therapy, including EMDR and Somatic Tracking, two of the approaches our therapists use specifically for trauma processing.
If you or someone you love is in crisis or having thoughts of self-harm,
please call or text 988 (Suicide and Crisis Lifeline) or go to your nearest emergency room. You are not alone, and help is available right now.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is EMDR and how does it help with trauma?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a therapy approach specifically designed to help the brain process traumatic memories. It's one of the modalities our therapists use for trauma-related conditions.
Do I need a specific diagnosis to seek trauma treatment?
No. You don't need a formal PTSD diagnosis to seek support for a difficult experience. A comprehensive assessment will help determine what's happening and what treatment fits best.
Where can I get trauma treatment?
We offer trauma-informed treatment at both our Glen Burnie and Frederick, MD locations.
