TRAUMA THERAPY PLANO

Trauma THERAPY IN-PERSON IN PLANO + ONLINE ACROSS TEXAS

What would it feel like to be content with yourself right now?

When we have experienced harm or been hurt it’s common to minimize our pain and dismiss our reality.  We may justify things by saying: 

  • “It wasn’t that bad.”

  • “Other people had it worse.”

  • “They probably didn’t mean to.”

You’re not alone if you have difficulty validating whether your experience “counts” as traumatic. Trauma is defined by how it impacts your sense of safety and well-being, and isn’t necessarily things like serious accidents or disasters. Sometimes trauma is something that overwhelms you all at once. Other times, it’s the struggle of not having enough support or care for too long.

As a trauma-informed practice, we believe your individual experience matters and you deserve the care and attention needed to heal.

Trauma can shape the way you see yourself and the world around you

You may notice you’ve been feeling disconnected from yourself, being in relationships or environments that feel out of alignment, stuck in patterns you don’t want, or are unsure of how to cope when emotions get too overwhelming.

For many, living through traumatic experiences, or having a childhood that seems good but something seems off may lead to anxious thoughts that keep running through your mind. You may be feeling like you’re never enough, and oftentimes simultaneously too much for the people around you. Whatever your experience may be, it’s valid and real and it makes sense. And you don’t have to figure it out on your own.

Whether you feel damaged, unlovable, confused, or something else entirely, you have come by your experience honestly and you deserve support in your healing journey.

Therapy at North Texas Family Therapy is a place where you’re accepted as you are and wholly supported as you grow into the version of yourself you want to become.

Many trauma survivors don’t know how to prioritize themselves or have forgotten what it feels like to put themselves first

Everyone needs a basic sense of safety in order to thrive. Trauma often takes that away, leaving us feeling on edge, unprotected, and alone. 

When we are in a traumatic situation or environment, our bodies and minds do what they can to help us survive, emotionally and physically.

Maybe you learned to stay quiet and keep to yourself. Maybe you focused on caring for others, even when your own needs went unmet. Maybe you learned to shrink parts of yourself so you wouldn’t take up too much space.

You took care of yourself in the way that you needed to at the time, with the tools you had available, in order to survive.

But you don’t have to use the tools for survival in the present.

What if things were different?

You may have gone through your traumas alone or with little to no support, it doesn’t have to be that way in your healing. With the right therapist, you can have a safe space to process your story and experiences and start moving into a version of yourself that feels “more you.”

All of North Texas Family Therapy’s clinicians are trauma-informed and have various levels of trauma training who show up as their authentic selves with compassion and curiosity so you can feel comfortable and confident in learning to receive support. You don’t have to carry this by yourself anymore. Healing is possible, and together we can help you reconnect with yourself and build the life you want.

Our approach

Therapy provides a safe space for healing

Therapy with us is…

  • Healing takes support, time, and intentional care. Our trauma-informed therapists are here to meet you where you’re at and walk with you at a pace that feels attainable, safe, and sustainable.

  • As a practice that works with trauma from a systemic lens, we understand trauma doesn’t happen in a vacuum. We consider family history, dynamics, and patterns, cultural experiences, religious influences, and societal pressures that all shape who you are.

  • At North Texas Family Therapy, our team creates an inclusive, affirming environment for every client we have the privilege to sit with. We use approaches that are proven to support healing including EMDR, Brainspotting, Emotions-Focused Therapy, trauma-focused CBT, somatic and attachment-based work, and relational therapies. These tools can help you reconnect with yourself and your loved ones, find your voice, prioritize your needs, and strengthen your ability to navigate and regulate emotions in difficult moments.

  • One of our top priorities is to provide a space where you feel safe enough to bring context and your whole self into the picture.

  • We don’t shy away from the hard topics and nothing is off limits. We want you to feel comfortable sharing about any and all of the identities you carry and all of the experiences you’ve gone through. Your voice matters here. You come first.

  • At North Texas Family Therapy with our team of trauma-informed therapists, we are confident that we can find the right fit for you. It can feel overwhelming and maybe even impossible to take the first step, so let us remind you that we are with you and are here to help. Here at NTFT, we are on your side and want to help you become the most authentic version of yourself.

 FAQs

  • We hear you. Change alone can be scary enough - but a big change can feel even more overwhelming! Change often feels out of reach because our brains and bodies are wired to find comfort in what has historically been familiar to us. 

    The coping strategies you’ve leaned on in the past have helped you get this far, and it’s natural to feel unsure about packing them up and throwing them out. The good news is, healing doesn’t mean changing everything at once. Real growth and change typically happens in small, intentional, and incremental steps. You’ll start to notice you respond to everyday choices, situations, and relationships a little bit differently.

    We know change will feel uncomfortable, so we’ll walk with you at your pace, one step at a time.

  • We’ll start this answer with another question! Did you know the number one indicator of therapeutic success is the therapeutic relationship? That means the way you connect with your therapist is the most important factor and we take this very seriously - we want you to have the best fit! 

    At North Texas Family Therapy, we have a team of trauma-informed therapists who use a variety of approaches to support both mind and body in the healing process. Our goal is to find what works best for you — and if we’re not the right fit, we’ll help connect you with other resources. You deserve support that feels right for you.

  • It’s normal to worry about what will happen if you let yourself face what you’ve been holding. Healing tends to be uncomfortable and can feel uncertain as people often feel worse before it feels better. But this is all temporary and we firmly believe that with proper support paired with time, care, and intention, things will look differently. You won’t be on your own and you won’t lose yourself in the process either.
