You feel overwhelmed. Drained. Broken. Terrified. Enraged. Defective.

All of a sudden, you find yourself suck in a pattern of flash backs that knock you off of your feet and disrupt your day and nights. Now, you’re also dealing with anxiety, depression and increased stress. It can even feel like there is a paralysis keeping you from moving forward.

It doesn’t matter what you’ve been through. Well, it does matter, but we are going to treat your trauma individually, with the care and concern you deserve. Whether you’re dealing with the long-term effects of childhood trauma, or a more recent event, we can help. You are worthy of respect. Your trauma does not define you.

Common Reasons to Seek Counseling for Trauma and PTSD Treatment

Often, after violence, chronic illness, a car accident or another sudden injury, people will seek counseling for trauma. Sexual assault, rape, domestic violence, grief and loss, combat, and trauma at work are the most well-known reasons to seek trauma therapy. But, we do want to be clear that there are many more reasons to find a skilled trauma therapist in Bozeman, MT. Birth trauma, miscarriage and pregnancy loss, divorce and separation are often overlooked. Basically, if you have experienced something you feel is traumatic, we want to help.

THE BRIDGER PEAKS COUNSELING APPROACH TO PTSD AND TRAUMA THERAPY

At Bridger Peaks Counseling, we address trauma and PTSD with a holistic lens.

This means we will help you understand the developmental and event based traumas in your life. We can look at these experiences as a part of the whole picture of your life story. One of the ways our therapists can assist your care is by using EMDR, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, for trauma therapy. This form of therapy helps people heal from trauma or other distressing life experiences. EMDR therapy has been extensively researched and has demonstrated effectiveness for trauma. To learn more about the way we use this approach for trauma treatment, read about EMDR at Bridger Peaks.
