Comprehensive Trauma Therapy Services Across Wisconsin
As a Wisconsin-licensed trauma therapist, I provide specialized virtual therapy services to residents throughout the state, from Milwaukee and Madison to rural communities where accessing specialized trauma treatment can be challenging. Virtual delivery ensures that effective trauma therapy is available regardless of your geographic location within Wisconsin.
My practice focuses on evidence-based trauma therapies that work with how difficult experiences are actually stored in the nervous system and body. These approaches often reach deeper levels than traditional talk therapy, providing pathways to genuine healing for individuals dealing with trauma, anxiety, depression, and patterns that feel stuck or overwhelming.
Wisconsin residents can access these specialized services from the comfort and safety of their own homes, eliminating travel barriers while maintaining the same therapeutic depth and effectiveness as in-person sessions.
Specialized Trauma Therapy Modalities Available in Wisconsin
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
EMDR is an extensively researched, FDA-approved trauma therapy recognized by the American Psychological Association as a first-line treatment for PTSD. This approach uses bilateral stimulation to help your brain process traumatic memories naturally, reducing their emotional charge while preserving factual memory.
Effective for: PTSD symptoms, single-incident trauma, anxiety with specific triggers, depression rooted in unprocessed experiences, childhood trauma affecting adult relationships.
Virtual adaptation: EMDR works effectively through secure video sessions using on-screen bilateral stimulation, guided self-administered techniques, and specialized audio stimulation.
Brainspotting Therapy
Brainspotting accesses your brain's natural healing abilities through specific eye positions that connect to neural networks holding both traumatic experiences and inner resources. This gentle approach works with your nervous system's natural pace, allowing deep processing without overwhelming your capacity.
Effective for: Complex trauma, treatment-resistant depression, anxiety that doesn't respond to cognitive approaches, individuals seeking deeper exploration beyond verbal processing.
Virtual adaptation: Brainspotting translates seamlessly to virtual sessions, with precise eye positioning guided through your screen as effectively as in-person work.
Body-Mind Psychotherapy
An integrative approach combining somatic therapy and clinical hypnotherapy to address patterns stored in both the body and subconscious mind. This holistic method helps you develop awareness of how emotions live in your physical being while accessing deeper dimensions of consciousness.
Effective for: Individuals disconnected from their bodies, anxiety manifesting physically, deep pattern transformation, those seeking holistic healing approaches.
Virtual adaptation: Body-mind approaches often work even more effectively in virtual settings, as you're processing in your own safe, familiar environment.
