Trauma Counseling in Texas
Healing from trauma isn’t about forgetting what happened; it’s about learning how to live more fully despite what you’ve experienced. If past events continue to shape your day‑to‑day life, make you feel unsafe, or interfere with your relationships and well‑being, trauma counseling can offer a path toward safety, understanding, and resilience.
What Is Trauma Counseling?
Trauma counseling is a supportive, structured process that helps you make sense of difficult experiences and their impact on your thoughts, emotions, nervous system, and relationships. In therapy, you’ll be met with empathy, respect, and a commitment to your comfort and pace. I work collaboratively with you, not rushing or pushing, to cultivate safety and healing from where you are today.
I provide trauma counseling through secure telehealth across Texas, with limited in‑person sessions in San Marcos. Sessions are available in the evenings and on weekends to fit your schedule. All services are delivered by a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate practicing under clinical supervision in accordance with Texas licensure and ethical standards.
Signs Trauma May Be Affecting You
You might benefit from trauma counseling if you notice patterns such as:
Flashbacks, intrusive memories, or nightmares
Persistent anxiety, hypervigilance, or startle responses
Difficulty forming or maintaining trust and connection
Avoidance of people, places, or emotions
Emotional numbness or feeling “stuck”
Strong emotional reactions that feel out of proportion to the moment
These responses are not signs of weakness; they’re natural ways your system learned to cope with overwhelming experiences. You deserve support that honors your resilience and helps you move toward increased safety and regulation.
My Approach in Trauma Counseling
My work is trauma‑informed, client‑centered, and paced to your needs. What that means for you:
Safety first: Your comfort, consent, and boundaries shape every session.
Collaborative process: You are the expert on your experience; I help you explore it with clarity and care.
Evidence‑informed practices: I draw from therapeutic approaches shown to support trauma healing, tailored to your preferences and responses.
Empathy without judgment: You can bring your full self — emotions, memories, questions — and be met with respect.
Healing doesn’t require erasing memories or pretending things didn’t hurt. It means learning how to make space for your experiences while strengthening your ability to be present, safe, and connected in the here and now.
What to Expect in Trauma Counseling
In your sessions, you can expect:
A safe, confidential environment where your voice matters
Grounded, practical tools to help regulate stress and build resilience
Exploration of patterns that arose from trauma in a way that feels supportive
Guidance in connecting your story to your strengths and goals
Trauma counseling is not a one‑size‑fits‑all process. It unfolds at your pace, respecting where you are and what you’re ready for.
