Trauma Therapy In Williamsburg

Trauma can come from a single event or from experiences that recur over time — such as accidents, medical crises, assaults, family harm, chronic stress, neglect, discrimination, or relationships that blurred your sense of safety and self. You might feel on edge, shut down, or disconnected, or find your reactions don’t match the moment.

At Transcendent Self Therapy, we offer trauma therapy in Brooklyn and online throughout New York State that is paced, collaborative, and focused on building safety, resilience, and long-term change.

What Is Trauma — And When Therapy Helps

Trauma isn’t just something that happened to you. It’s the ways your nervous system learned to protect you — even when those patterns now feel heavy, confusing, or stuck.

People seek trauma therapy when they notice:

  • Hypervigilance, startle responses, or chronic tension

  • Numbness, dissociation, or emotional shutdown

  • Intrusive memories, flashbacks, or nightmares

  • Patterns of people-pleasing, boundary collapse, or relationship repetition

  • Persistent shame, self-criticism, or mistrust

  • Body symptoms tied to stress (sleep issues, headaches, gut tension)

These experiences matter — and therapy helps you understand how they developed and how they can shift.

Our Approach to Trauma Therapy

Our work is integrative and tailored to you, helping your nervous system feel safer while also supporting deep emotional and relational healing. We blend evidence-informed techniques with relational depth so you’re supported in mind and body.

Trauma therapy may include:

  • Stabilization & Skills — grounding, nervous-system regulation, sleep, and safety planning

  • Trauma-Focused CBT / CPT-Informed Work — gently reshape stuck beliefs

  • Somatic & Mind-Body Techniques — breath, orientation, movement for present-moment resilience

  • Relational Therapy — strengthening connection, boundaries, and attuned support

  • Parts-Informed (IFS-Inspired) work — meet protectors with care

  • Creative Arts & Expressive Methods — art, movement, and writing to process experience that words alone can’t reach

We work at the speed of your nervous system — transparent, consent-based, and collaborative.

What to Expect in Trauma Therapy

Therapy for trauma generally unfolds in phases designed around your readiness and rhythm:

  1. Stabilize & Plan — assess symptoms, strengths, goals, and supports

  2. Skill-Building — develop tools for regulation, boundaries, and daily life

  3. Processing (When Ready) — paced narrative, somatic, or exposure work

  4. Integration & Aftercare — build new patterns, relational skills, and resilience

This work isn’t about “fixing” you. It’s about helping you reclaim choice, safety, and flexibility in your life.
