TRAUMA THERAPY
TRAUMA THERAPY
Virtual Trauma Therapy in New York
Heal trauma, process the past, and feel safer in your body and relationships.
Trauma doesn’t always look the way we expect it to. Sometimes it’s obvious, like a painful or overwhelming event. Other times, it’s more a subtle pattern: growing up in environments where you didn’t feel seen, safe, or emotionally supported. Even if your life looks “together” on the outside, you may still feel anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in patterns you can’t seem to change. Trauma therapy in New York helps you gently process what you’ve been carrying so you can feel more grounded, present, and connected to yourself.
What is Trauma Therapy?
Trauma therapy is a specialized approach that helps your mind and body process unresolved experiences that may still be impacting you.
Rather than just talking about what happened, trauma therapy works with your nervous system, emotions, and stored memories, so healing can happen at a deeper level.
At Rooted Therapy of NY, we integrate approaches like:
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) ~ Parts Work ~ Mindfulness and somatic awareness
This allows us to tailor therapy to your unique needs and move at a pace that feels safe and supportive.
-
Anxiety and chronic stress
Childhood trauma
Emotional overwhelm
People-pleasing patterns
Attachment wounds
Perfectionism
Dissociation or numbness
Feeling unsafe in relationships
Nervous system dysregulation
Shame and low self-worth

Signs Trauma May Still Be Affecting You
You don’t need a single “big” event to benefit from trauma therapy. Many clients come to us feeling:
Constant anxiety or overthinking
Difficulty trusting others or feeling secure in relationships
Patterns of anxious attachment or fear of abandonment
Feeling emotionally overwhelmed or shut down
Low self-worth or deep-rooted shame
Perfectionism or pressure to “hold it all together”
Trouble relaxing or feeling safe in your body
Stuck in patterns of people pleasing and suppressing your own needs
If any of this resonates, your nervous system may be holding onto past experiences that haven’t been fully processed.
-
Many of our clients are high-achieving who are used to being “the strong one.”
You may be successful in your career and relationships, but internally feel:
anxious or on edge
emotionally drained
disconnected from yourself
stuck in cycles of overgiving or people-pleasing
Trauma therapy can help you understand these patterns, heal the underlying wounds, and build a more secure and grounded sense of self.
-
EMDR therapy is one of the most effective treatments for trauma. It helps your brain reprocess difficult experiences so they no longer feel as overwhelming or activating.
Instead of staying stuck in the past, you’re able to:
feel less triggered by old memories
shift negative beliefs about yourself
experience more calm and emotional balance
come to a place of greater compassion for yourself
We often integrate EMDR with other approaches to create a personalized and effective healing process.
-
In your sessions, we’ll:
Explore your history and current challenges
Identify patterns connected to past experiences
Build tools to help you feel grounded and regulated
Gently process unresolved memories when you’re ready
You don’t need to have everything figured out before starting. We’ll guide you every step of the way.
