“Why can’t I just move on?”
Haunted by memories that won’t let go. Stuck in patterns that feel impossible to break. Pulled between wanting peace but feeling trapped by old wounds.
At Mend Center for Psychotherapy, we help you make sense of the confusing impact of trauma, guiding you toward deeper self-understanding, more fulfilling relationships, and the freedom to live with greater ease and clarity.
Who is Trauma Therapy for?
Trauma doesn’t always come from one moment, it can build quietly over time. Our trauma therapy is for people who feel stuck in cycles they can’t explain and want to break free.
- Adults navigating anxiety, depression, or relationship struggles rooted in unresolved trauma.
- Women and non-binary individuals working through complex trauma and reclaiming their sense of self.
- Teens and young adults grappling with identity, past hurts, and confusing emotions.
- High-stress professionals feeling the hidden cost of burnout, perfectionism, or emotional shutdown.
At Mend, we meet you where you are, helping you understand your story, heal from past wounds, and move toward deeper connection.
Why Choose Trauma Therapy at Mend Center for Psychotherapy
We do more than manage symptoms, we help you create lasting, meaningful change by addressing the root causes of your struggles.
Deep, Relational Healing
We believe healing happens through relationships. Our therapists use connection, trust, and deep dialogue to help you access and integrate the parts of yourself that have been hidden or wounded.
Specialized in Complex Trauma
Our therapists are trained in psychodynamic therapy, EMDR, and attachment-based approaches, designed to help you navigate trauma that may feel complicated, longstanding, or hard to name.
A Path to Authentic Self-Connection
This isn’t surface-level work. We help you develop a stronger sense of self, deepen your capacity for meaningful relationships, and experience life with more clarity, agency, and aliveness.
Our Approach to Trauma Therapy
At Mend, we take a relational, depth-oriented approach that invites you to explore the hidden layers of your story to help you reclaim your wholeness.
Psychodynamic Therapy
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
Attachment-Focused Therapy
Experiential and Emotion-Focused Therapies (AEDP)
How It Works
Starting therapy can feel like a big step. We make it simple and supportive from the very beginning:
Schedule a Free Consultation
Reach out through our online appointment request form or call our clinical coordinator. We’ll match you with a therapist who’s the right fit for your needs.
Begin with an Intake Session
In your first session, we’ll explore your story, goals, and what you hope to get out of therapy. This helps us understand your history, patterns, and key challenges.
Start Your Therapy Journey
Together, you’ll begin the process of meaningful self-exploration and change, working at your pace, with your therapist supporting you every step of the way.
Positive Outcomes of Trauma Therapy
Healing trauma takes time, but the changes can be life-altering. Our work helps you move from surviving to truly living, with a stronger sense of self and connection.
- Feel more emotionally grounded with tools to manage overwhelm and regulate your nervous system.
- Deepen your self-awareness, gaining clarity on patterns that have kept you stuck.
- Build healthier, more fulfilling relationships by understanding your attachment styles and relational triggers.
- Experience more freedom and agency in your choices, breaking free from the grip of old wounds.
Why Work With Mend Center for Psychotherapy
You're not a problem to fix, but a story to understand.
At Mend Center for Psychotherapy, we believe therapy should go deeper than symptom relief. Our work is rooted in the belief that many of the challenges people face, anxiety, disconnection, trauma, burnout, stem from unspoken pain, relational wounds, and unseen patterns. These aren’t signs of weakness. They’re signs of something important needing attention.
We specialize in in-depth, relational psychotherapy that helps bring those hidden parts of the self into awareness, to help you feel more alive, more connected, and more fully yourself.
Our therapists are trained in psychodynamic, attachment-informed, and trauma-focused modalities. We work with people who’ve tried therapy before but didn’t get the depth or clarity they needed. Whether you’re facing a major transition or a quiet sense that something isn’t quite right, we help you understand your inner world so you can move through it with clarity and compassion.
Healing takes time, courage, and the right support. We’re here when you’re ready.
