Heal the Past, Live Confidently In the Present

You might feel emotionally stuck, experience strong reactions to reminders of the past, struggle with trust or intimacy, feel chronically anxious or numb, or find it hard to regulate stress. These are common signals that trauma lies beneath what you’re feeling now.

Untreated trauma can continue to affect your mental, emotional, and even physical health—leading to patterns like chronic anxiety, emotional overwhelm, relational distance, stagnant self-image, or ongoing stress responses. Healing helps you reclaim your present and future.

In trauma therapy, we begin by creating a safe, supportive relationship. And only then do we gently explore trauma at a pace you can manage. Sessions often involve tracking how trauma shows up in your body and emotions, processing traumatic memories safely, and developing new ways to feel grounded and resilient.

There isn’t one universally “best” approach. Our clinicians use evidence-based methods like cognitive-behaviorally informed, person‑centered, and existential approaches that are tailored to your individual needs. Therapy is collaborative and structured around what resonates best with you.

By gradually learning to notice and regulate trauma-driven responses, such as hypervigilance or shutdown, you strengthen your capacity to relax and feel safe. In therapy, we support you through grounding, breathwork, narrative integration, and skills that restore a sense of calm and control.

Healing timelines vary. Some people notice shifts in a few months, others benefit from longer-term work. What matters is that you go at your own pace. Many clients find regular weekly sessions help build momentum while offering steady support.

Sessions are typically 50 minutes long. Therapy may last for a few months or longer, depending on what you’re working through and how you’re progressing. It’s flexible, sometimes short-term for specific goals, sometimes longer to build sustained change.

Navigating Courage is not contracted with insurance providers. We offer private-pay care and provide a detailed Superbill (receipt with billing codes) that you can submit to your out-of-network insurance plan. Many clients receive partial or full reimbursement this way. Acceptable payment methods also include HSA and Flex spending accounts.

Absolutely. Everything you share in therapy stays between you and your provider, with very limited exceptions as required by law (e.g., safety concerns). We create a safe, private space for your healing journey.

You might, and that’s perfectly ok. Emotions are a sign that healing is happening. A compassionate therapist helps you feel held through whatever emotions come up, whether tears, relief, or reflection.
