Trauma Therapy

You’ve Been Through Enough. Let’s Start the Healing Process Together.

Trauma can shake you to your core. It can affect the way you think, feel, and function - long after the event has passed. Whether you’ve experienced a single overwhelming event or long-term emotional pain, trauma can leave you feeling disconnected, unsafe, and emotionally stuck. But healing is possible, and you don’t have to go through it alone.

At North Country Clinical Counseling, we provide compassionate, evidence-based trauma therapy for individuals who are ready to take the first steps toward healing. Our approach is gentle, personalized, and deeply respectful of your experiences, no matter how recent or how long ago the trauma occurred. You deserve support that helps you feel safe, grounded, and heard.

Understanding Trauma:

Trauma isn’t always physical-it often runs deeper, affecting your emotions, body, relationships, and overall mental health. It can stem from a wide range of experiences, including:

  • Childhood abuse or neglect
  • Domestic violence or relationship trauma
  • Loss of a loved one
  • Car accidents or sudden medical events
  • Sexual assault or abuse
  • Military or first responder experiences
  • Witnessing or surviving a violent or life-threatening situation

Even events that might seem “minor” to others can be traumatic if they overwhelm your ability to cope. There’s no one-size-fits-all definition of trauma-what matters is how it impacted you.

You might be experiencing trauma if you:
  • Have flashbacks, nightmares, or intrusive thoughts
  • Avoid reminders of the event
  • Feel numb or disconnected from others
  • Experience sudden mood swings or irritability
  • Struggle with anxiety, depression, or panic
  • Have trouble sleeping, concentrating, or trusting others
  • Feel “stuck” in survival mode

These responses are normal-but they don’t have to be permanent.

How We Help

At North Country Clinical Counseling, we specialize in trauma-informed care that honors your story, your pace, and your strength. Healing doesn’t mean forgetting or pretending it didn’t happen—it means learning how to live again without being ruled by fear, shame, or pain.

Our trauma counseling services are grounded in evidence-based approaches proven to support long-term healing and emotional regulation, including:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Helps you identify and reframe negative thoughts and beliefs tied to trauma.
  • Mindfulness Practices: Teaches grounding techniques to help you stay present, reduce panic, and regulate your emotions.
  • Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): Builds skills for managing distress and navigating difficult emotions safely.
  • Strength-Based and Solution-Focused Interventions: Helps you recognize your resilience and build forward momentum.
  • Trauma-Focused Therapy for Adolescents and Adults: Designed to meet you where you are with the right support at the right time.

We work collaboratively with you to create a safe, non-judgmental space where healing can begin. You're always in control of the process - we move at your pace.

A Safe Space to Feel, Process, and Reclaim Control

We know how difficult it can be to open up about painful experiences. That’s why we focus on creating a gentle, supportive environment where you can feel safe to talk, cry, question, and grow - without judgment.

Whether you’ve been carrying trauma for years or are still in the aftermath of a recent experience, therapy can help you:

  • Understand how trauma has affected your thoughts, emotions, and body.
  • Learn healthy ways to manage emotional flashbacks or triggers
  • Rebuild trust in yourself and others
  • Restore a sense of safety and control
  • Strengthen your relationships and communication
  • Cultivate resilience, confidence, and self-worth

Trauma may be part of your past, but it doesn’t have to define your future.

You Are Not Alone. And You Don’t Have to Do This Alone.

Many people silently carry trauma, hoping it will fade over time. But healing takes more than time—it takes support, understanding, and the right tools. We’re here to walk beside you every step of the way.

Whether this is your first time seeking help or you’re returning to therapy after a break, you are welcome here. Every story matters. Every step forward counts.
