05

06

Is therapy confidential?

Yes, therapy sessions at Touchstone Trauma Therapy are confidential. We adhere to strict ethical guidelines to ensure your privacy and safety, allowing you to share your experiences in a secure and supportive environment.

07

What is Somatic Therapy?

Somatic Therapy is a form of body-centered therapy that emphasizes the connection between the brain, mind, and body. It utilizes body awareness as a therapeutic tool to explore and resolve the somatic (physical) symptoms of psychological issues. This approach helps individuals recognize and release the physical tension that remains in the body due to past trauma and stress.

08

What is Parts Work (IFS)?

Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a transformative therapeutic model of psychotherapy that helps individuals understand and harmonize the various parts within themselves. According to IFS, we all have different parts within us that carry different thoughts, emotions, and beliefs. These parts can sometimes conflict with each other and create internal struggles and difficulties in our lives. IFS is commonly utilized to work with trauma memories or difficult childhood experiences.

09

What is EMDR Therapy?

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a structured approach that treats trauma by safely reconnecting individuals with the traumatic images, thoughts, emotions, and body sensations they experienced, leveraging the brain’s natural healing process—Adaptive Information Processing (AIP).

Unlike traditional talk therapy, which often focuses on the traumatic event itself, EMDR targets the emotional disturbances and symptoms stemming from the trauma. The goal is to process these troubling memories, reduce their impact, and help clients develop healthier coping mechanisms.

Through EMDR, memories are transferred from the emotional part of the brain (limbic system) to long-term storage, transforming them from intrusive relived experiences into memories of past events that no longer wield disruptive power.

Overcoming Anxiety Support in a Safe Environment

Creating a supportive therapeutic environment is crucial for effective healing. in my practice, I prioritize building a trusting relationship with each client. This trust allows for open dialogue, fostering a sense of safety that is essential for discussing sensitive topics related to anxiety and trauma. Touchstone Trauma Therapy provides services to clients throughout the state of California, ensuring that individuals can access the support they need.

To individual therapy, I also offer group sessions that focus on overcoming anxiety support. These sessions provide a platform for sharing experiences and strategies with others who understand the struggles associated with anxiety. Engaging with a community can be incredibly beneficial, as it reduces feelings of isolation and promotes a sense of belonging. For those living in Altadena and Arcadia, participating in these group sessions can be a transformative experience, as they learn from one another in a safe and nurturing space.

Our therapeutic approach is tailored to meet the needs of each individual, whether you are dealing with generalized anxiety disorder or specific anxiety triggers. During sessions, we explore various coping strategies, mindfulness techniques, and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) methods that empower you to manage anxiety effectively. This personalized support is vital for overcoming anxiety and reclaiming your life.

We emphasize the importance of self-care and lifestyle changes as part of the healing journey. Simple practices like regular physical activity, proper nutrition, and establishing a healthy sleep routine can significantly impact anxiety levels. I encourage clients throughout the state of California to incorporate these elements into their daily lives, enhancing the benefits of therapy.

By fostering a safe environment and providing comprehensive support, we aim to equip you with the tools needed to navigate anxiety. Together, we will work towards achieving a greater sense of peace and stability, allowing you to thrive in your personal and professional life.
