Trauma Therapy

Short Hills & Morristown, NJ • Telehealth is available across New Jersey, New York, and other PSYPACT-participating states.

Overview

Trauma can wire the nervous system for ‘constant danger,’ even when you’re safe. That isn’t weakness—it’s adaptation. We help your brain and body update that alarm system so you can live with more freedom and choice.

We move carefully: establish safety and skills first, then proceed with trauma‑informed CBT to reduce triggers and restore safety.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to retell everything?

What if I get overwhelmed?

We use titration and grounding to keep work within a tolerable range—and pause when needed.

Can trauma work help with nightmares?

Yes—skills often reduce frequency and intensity, and we’ll add sleep tools as needed.
