Trauma We Help Raleigh Residents Heal From
Trauma takes many forms - and no experience is "too small" to deserve care. If something still hurts, it matters, and support is here.
Childhood Trauma & Neglect
Wounds from growing up with abuse, neglect, or emotional unavailability - patterns that can quietly shape your relationships, self-worth, and sense of safety as an adult.
PTSD & Flashbacks
Intrusive memories, nightmares, hypervigilance, and avoidance after overwhelming experiences - we help your mind and body learn that the danger has passed.
Sexual Assault & Abuse Recovery
Compassionate, survivor-centered support for healing after sexual violence - at whatever pace and depth feels safe for you.
Accident & Medical Trauma
Car accidents, injuries, frightening diagnoses, difficult births, and hospital experiences that left you shaken, anxious, or unable to feel safe in your body.
Grief & Traumatic Loss
Sudden or violent loss of a loved one, complicated grief, and losses that feel impossible to move through alone - gentle support for mourning and meaning-making.
Emotional Abuse & Toxic Relationships
Recovering from manipulation, gaslighting, coercive control, and relationships that eroded your confidence - rebuilding trust in yourself and others.
Trauma in Teens
Age-appropriate, trauma-informed support for teenagers navigating bullying, loss, family disruption, or frightening experiences - helping them feel safe and understood.
Complex Trauma (C-PTSD)
The layered impact of repeated or prolonged trauma - emotional dysregulation, deep shame, and relationship difficulties that deserve patient, specialized care.
Trauma-Related Anxiety & Depression
When anxiety, panic, low mood, or numbness are rooted in what you've been through - we address the underlying trauma, not just the symptoms.
Gentle, Evidence-Based Ways to Heal
There is no single "right" way to heal from trauma. We draw on multiple approaches and adapt to what feels safe and effective for you.
Attachment-Based Therapy
Explore how early relationships shaped your patterns of trust, closeness, and safety - a powerful approach for relational and childhood trauma, and central to how Mia works.
Acceptance & Commitment Therapy
Make room for difficult feelings without being ruled by them, and reconnect with the values and life you want - one of the core approaches Mia brings to trauma work.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Gently identify and reframe the painful beliefs trauma leaves behind - "it was my fault," "I'm not safe" - one of the most well-researched therapies in the world.
DBT Skills for Emotional Regulation
Practical skills for managing overwhelming emotions, tolerating distress, and staying grounded when trauma responses feel bigger than you.
Mindfulness & Grounding
Learn to anchor yourself in the present moment, calm your nervous system, and build a gentler, more compassionate relationship with your own mind and body.
EMDR Available In-Practice
Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing is available through our wider practice, including via telehealth - ask us if EMDR might be a fit for your healing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to talk about my trauma right away?+
No. You will never be pressured to share details before you're ready - and some people never describe their trauma in depth at all. Early sessions focus on safety, trust, and grounding. You decide what to share, when, and how much. You are in control of your own healing, always.
How does trauma therapy work?+
Trauma therapy typically moves through phases: first building safety, stability, and coping skills; then, when you're ready, gently working through the experiences and beliefs that keep hurting; and finally reconnecting with your life, relationships, and sense of self. Your therapist adapts approaches like attachment-based therapy, ACT, CBT, and DBT skills to what works for you.
How long does healing from trauma take?+
Honestly - it varies, and anyone promising a fixed timeline isn't being straight with you. Some people notice meaningful relief within a few months; healing from complex or long-term trauma often takes longer. What matters is steady progress at a pace your nervous system can handle. Your therapist will check in regularly so you always know how things are going.
What insurance do you accept for trauma therapy in Raleigh?+
We accept major insurance plans including BCBS, Aetna, Cigna, and United Health, and self-pay rates are available. Coverage varies by plan, so please call us at (919) 300-6717 to verify your specific benefits before your first appointment.
Can I do trauma therapy from home via telehealth?+
Yes! Our telehealth service is available to anyone in North Carolina. Sessions are conducted via a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform. All you need is a private space, a smartphone or computer, and a reliable internet connection. Many clients find doing trauma work from their own safe space especially comfortable.
Is trauma therapy confidential?+
Your privacy is strictly protected under HIPAA. Your employer does not have access to your therapy records. If you use insurance, the insurer may receive a diagnosis code for billing purposes, but session content is never shared without your written consent.
