Trauma Therapy for When You’re Tired of Just Coping
You look functional on the outside. Inside, your nervous system feels stuck in overdrive or shutdown. You’re ready for deeper healing and real change.
When It Feels Like You’re “Always On” or “Completely Numb”
Trauma makes us live in fight-or-flight:
Racing thoughts, hypervigilance, intrusive worst-case scenarios, panic attacks, trouble sleeping, and feeling constantly on edge…
Or it makes us live in freeze or collapse:
Numb, shut down, dissociate… we feel exhausted but unable to rest. Shame loops, procrastination, thoughts that say you’re the problem…
If this resonates, you may have tried therapy before. Maybe you felt misunderstood. Maybe it stayed too logical and didn’t move emotions. Maybe no one helped your body feel safe.
Now you’re looking for change that actually reaches the trauma underneath.
Get Started Today. Feel Better Faster.
Note: Our practice also accepts clients who don’t have or want to use insurance.
What Trauma Healing Actually Feels Like
What Trauma Healing Actually Feels Like
Imagine this quietly shifting:
You wake up and your body isn’t braced for impact.
You notice a trigger and stay present instead of spiraling.
You feel sadness without drowning in it.
You disagree with someone and don’t collapse inside.
You fall asleep without replaying everything.
Healing from childhood trauma, sexual trauma, emotional neglect, abuse, DV, miscarriage, grief, or motherhood stressors isn’t about becoming someone new.
It’s about finally feeling safe being yourself.
Our trauma therapists can help you!
“I finally felt safe enough to go there.”
You deserve a therapist who is grounded, real, and well-trained. NOT distant, overly clinical, or surface-level. Growth requires safety. And safety isn’t created through techniques alone. It’s built through presence, consistency, and respect for your nervous system.
If you want trauma therapy that is structured, experienced, and authentically human, choose Holistic Hope.
Trauma Therapy That Works With Your Nervous System
Trauma Therapy That Works With Your Nervous System
Our practice specializes in complex trauma for individuals, couples, and families (ages 6+).
Modalities include:
And more. Because you deserve an approach that’s whole-person and relational. Trauma lives in the nervous system, not just your thoughts.
For clients specifically seeking nervous system regulation, the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) is available. This is our music-based listening intervention designed to help retune your system toward safety.
This isn’t surface-level insight work. It’s structured, trained, trauma-informed treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions
If your body still reacts like something isn’t safe, it matters.
You don’t need a dramatic story. Emotional neglect, attachment wounds, chronic stress, and relational trauma shape nervous systems just as deeply as single events.
If it’s still affecting you, it’s worth working on.
That makes sense. Trauma work doesn’t mean ripping everything open at once. Stabilization and safety come first.
You won’t be pushed faster than your nervous system can handle.
No. With EMDR and IFS especially, the goal isn’t retelling every detail.
It’s helping your brain and body process what got stuck.
You remain in control the entire time.
This practice specializes in structured trauma modalities like EMDR, IFS, EFT, CPT, and DBT.
This isn’t weekly venting or generic coping skills. It’s intentional trauma treatment designed to create real internal shifts.
It depends on your history, goals, and pace.
Complex trauma isn’t a quick fix (and we won’t pretend it is).
Some clients work short-term on specific targets. Others choose longer-term depth work.
We’ll decide together what makes sense for you.
That’s common with complex trauma, and something we’re trained to work with.
We build regulation first. If your system tends to freeze or disconnect, we move carefully and intentionally.
No. We also work with couples and families.
Trauma impacts attachment and relationships, not just individuals.
If you keep having the same fight or feel stuck in relational patterns, we can slow it down and rebuild safety together.
Yes. We accept BCBS and United/Optum.
Access to quality trauma therapy matters here.
That’s completely okay.
We accept private pay and can provide documentation for out-of-network reimbursement.
We also partner with Mentaya to help clients submit claims.
Contact us to discuss options.
SSP can help if you feel chronically anxious, overstimulated, on edge, or shut down.
It’s a music-based nervous system intervention that supports regulation before or alongside deeper trauma work.
We’ll assess together if it’s a good fit.
Many clients come in carrying shame about their reactions, coping patterns, or relationship struggles.
This is a space built on warmth, professionalism, and grounded presence, not criticism.
Yes. Experience includes supporting active duty military, veterans, and families navigating high-stress environments.
Faith Larson is also a Clinical Partner for the Headstrong Program which offers free therapy to veterans and active military.

You Don’t Have to Keep Managing This Alone
You’ve survived what you had to survive.
Now you get to decide whether you want to keep coping or actually heal.
