Trauma & PTSD Therapy

Healing Is Not Linear. We Move at Your Pace.

Trauma changes how the world feels. Our clinicians provide specialized, evidence-based care that moves at your pace, and never faster than you are ready for.

About This Service

Specialized Care for What Is Hardest to Carry

Trauma is not weakness, and it is not something to simply get over. It is a real response to real events, and it deserves care designed specifically for it. Trauma-focused therapy at Mercedes Health begins with safety and stabilization: building trust, coping skills, and a sense of steadiness before any deeper work begins. Processing what happened comes only when you are ready, and readiness is yours to define. Our clinicians are trained in trauma-specific approaches and understand that the pace of healing belongs to the person doing it.

Who This Is For

Whatever You Carry, You Can Bring It Here

We work with children, adolescents, and adults who have experienced abuse, neglect, violence, sudden loss, medical trauma, or trauma in their community. Some carry a single event. Others carry years. Whatever you are holding, you do not have to explain it perfectly to begin, and you will never be pushed further than you choose to go.

How We Care

Evidence-Based and
Paced by You

Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

We work with the relationships between people, not just the individual, to create change across the whole unit.

Attachment-based work

We help you identify the thought patterns driving how you feel and build practical tools to shift them.

Somatic & expressive approaches

We start with what is already working. Every person brings strengths to the room, and we build from there.
