“Trauma is not what happens to us. But what we hold inside in the
absence of an empathetic witness.” 

— Peter A Levine, PhD

Trauma often undermines our ability to feel safe and secure in the world and in our relationships. That’s why we prioritize creating a safe and trusting space where you can share your unique experiences and find healing.

We think of this process as creating a safe container—a place where we can hold your painful experiences and feelings together, process them, and eventually let them go.

We’ll work collaboratively to determine the right approach for your symptoms and challenges. Our treatment always values attunement to identity, trust, transparency, and flexibility.

At Touchstone Psychology, our therapists are trained in several evidence-based models of trauma-focused therapy, including:

• Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT)
• STAIR-NT: Skills Training in Affective and Interpersonal Regulation and Narrative Therapy
• Prolonged Exposure (PE)
• Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)
