Individual Psychotherapy
At Sanctuary, in addition to our Intensive Outpatient Trauma Treatment, we provide individual psychotherapy sessions for adults (ages 18+) who have experienced or witnessed traumatic events. We also provide therapy for partners and/or supporters of those who has experienced trauma(s) and wants support for themselves.
Ways individual therapy from trauma can be helpful:
Provide education to normalize reactions to trauma
Decrease anxiety and depression and provide skills to decrease PTSD symptoms
Change unhelpful or irrational thoughts and beliefs around trauma experienced or witnessed
Identify triggers and establish coping skills and establish a sense of safety
Process traumatic memories through evidence-based trauma interventions
Process grief and loss around how the trauma(s) has affected your life
Decrease feelings of isolation and being alone with your trauma and feelings of shame and guilt
Regain personal power over past traumatic experiences and improve daily functioning
