Why Trauma Treatment Matters

Unresolved trauma can shape a person’s emotional, psychological, and physical health for years. Survivors may experience:

  • Symptoms such as nightmares, flashbacks, or hypervigilance.
  • Emotional dysregulation, overwhelming fear, or panic attacks.
  • Substance abuse or unhealthy behaviors used to numb distress.
  • Difficulty maintaining relationships, jobs, or a stable sense of self.
  • Physical symptoms like insomnia, muscle tension, or chronic pain.

While these reactions are common, they do not define you. With the right trauma treatment program, recovery is possible. At Aspen View, we use evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to address both the emotional and biological effects of trauma.

Evidence-Based Trauma Therapies We Offer

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT is one of the most effective approaches to treating trauma-related conditions like depression, and anxiety. By identifying unhelpful thoughts and replacing them with healthier perspectives, patients learn coping skills to manage triggers, reduce distress, and rebuild self-confidence.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Trauma often disrupts emotional balance, leading to impulsivity or self-harm. DBT teaches emotional regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and communication skills. These tools empower individuals to face overwhelming feelings and build healthier relationships.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

EMDR is a specialized, trauma-focused therapy that helps reprocess painful memories. Using bilateral stimulation such as guided eye movements, EMDR decreases the emotional charge of traumatic experiences, giving patients freedom from being “stuck” in the past.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Trauma survivors often try to avoid painful emotions. ACT teaches acceptance, mindfulness, and values-based living so patients can face difficult experiences without being controlled by them.

Exposure Therapy

For people with phobias, or anxiety disorders, exposure therapy helps gradually reduce distress toward specific triggers. By confronting fears in a safe environment, patients gain mastery and relief.

Psychodynamic Therapy

This therapy explores how unconscious processes and past experiences influence current patterns. It’s particularly useful for those with long-standing trauma or relational struggles.

Motivational Interviewing (MI)

For patients unsure about committing to therapy or facing substance use disorders, MI strengthens motivation for change and supports self-confidence.
