Healing Happens in Safety, Understanding, and Connection

At Seasons Psychotherapy Associates, we believe that healing from trauma begins with feeling safe—safe with your therapist, safe in your body, and safe in your own story.
That’s why all of our therapists are grounded in trauma-informed care, even though each may use different tools and methods to support the process. A trauma-informed approach means we don’t ask, “What’s wrong with you?” We ask, “What happened to you?” And even more importantly: “What’s happening for you now—and how can we help you move forward?”
Whether or not you identify your experiences as “trauma,” our focus is always the same: to honor your resilience, understand your story without judgment, and help you heal at your own pace.

What Is Trauma-Informed Therapy?

Trauma-informed therapy isn’t a single technique. It’s an approach to care that recognizes how overwhelming or frightening experiences—whether recent or long ago—can shape how we think, feel, and relate to others.
In a trauma-informed space, we prioritize:

• Creating emotional and physical safety
• Building trust between therapist and client
• Empowering you to make choices about your healing
• Recognizing the connection between past experiences and present struggles
• Honoring your strengths, even when you feel stuck or hurting

How Trauma Affects Us

Trauma shows up in many ways—some obvious, others hidden. You may notice:

• Anxiety, sadness, anger, or chronic stress
• Difficulty trusting others or setting boundaries
• Patterns of emotional overwhelm, self-criticism, or dissociation
• Physical symptoms like tension, poor sleep, or memory difficulties

For many, trauma lives in both the body and mind, keeping the nervous system in a constant state of “fight, flight, or freeze.” Healing doesn’t mean erasing what happened. It means helping your mind, body, and heart discover new ways to feel safe, grounded, and connected again.

Our Approach to Trauma & PTSD Therapy at Seasons

At Seasons, we match your care to your unique needs and goals. Our therapists draw from a variety of evidence-based methods, including:

• Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT): a highly effective approach for PTSD that helps you reframe unhelpful beliefs connected to trauma
• Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR): to reprocess painful memories and reduce emotional intensity
• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): to identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns
• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): to build resilience and live in alignment with your values
• Internal Family Systems (IFS): to work gently with the different “parts” of yourself affected by trauma
• Narrative Therapy: to help you re-author your story and reclaim your voice
• Mindfulness-based practices & grounding tools: to manage triggers and reconnect with the present moment

Not every therapist uses every tool, and that’s intentional. We’ll connect you with someone whose training and style fit what you need—whether you’re working through PTSD, complex trauma, childhood emotional wounds, or ongoing stress that has built up over time.
Across all of Seasons, the foundation is the same: you are treated with dignity, compassion, and respect.
