At Touchstone Trauma Therapy, we embrace a holistic, trauma-informed approach to mental health that recognizes the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit. We understand that stress and emotional overwhelm often manifest not only as psychological symptoms but can also affect physical health and overall well-being. Our dedicated therapists are trained to assess and address each individual’s unique experiences, ensuring that therapy is not just about alleviating symptoms but also about fostering a deeper understanding of oneself.
Our holistic framework begins with an assessment that goes beyond just identifying stressors. We take the time to explore your personal background, lifestyle, and emotional history. This comprehensive understanding allows us to tailor our therapeutic interventions to fit your specific needs. By integrating various therapeutic modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness practices, and somatic experiencing, we aim to provide a well-rounded approach that addresses the root causes of stress and emotional overwhelm.
For instance, during therapy sessions, we might incorporate mindfulness techniques that help you become more aware of your thoughts and feelings in the present moment. This can be particularly beneficial for individuals who struggle with racing thoughts or overwhelming emotions. Mindfulness not only helps in reducing anxiety but also enhances emotional regulation, making it easier for you to cope with daily stressors. Our therapists guide you through exercises that can be practiced both in and out of sessions, ensuring that you develop practical skills you can use in real-life situations.
In addition to mindfulness, we emphasize the importance of self-care and lifestyle changes as part of our holistic approach. Recognizing the impact of physical health on emotional well-being, we encourage clients to explore activities that promote relaxation and rejuvenation. This may include engaging in regular physical exercise, practicing healthy eating habits, and ensuring adequate sleep. We often discuss how these elements can influence stress levels and emotional resilience, guiding you to create a balanced lifestyle that supports your mental health.
Another key aspect of our holistic approach is fostering a supportive therapeutic relationship. We believe that a strong therapeutic alliance is fundamental to effective treatment. Our therapists are not just providers; they are partners in your healing journey. We create a safe and empathetic environment where you can express your thoughts and feelings without judgment. This sense of safety is crucial, as it allows for open dialogue about difficult topics, enabling the exploration of underlying issues contributing to your stress and emotional overwhelm.
As part of our commitment to a holistic perspective, we also recognize the importance of community support. Stress and emotional challenges can often feel isolating, but at Touchstone Trauma Therapy, we encourage clients to connect with supportive networks. Whether it’s through group therapy sessions, workshops, or community events focused on mental wellness, we help you build connections with others who may be experiencing similar challenges. These interactions can provide additional layers of support and understanding, making the healing process more enriching.
Moreover, our therapists continuously engage in professional development and training to stay abreast of the latest research and techniques in holistic mental health. This ongoing education ensures that we provide the most effective therapies available, tailored specifically to the needs of our clients in Sacramento County. By incorporating evidence-based practices with a compassionate approach, we aim to empower you to take control of your stress and emotional health.
In summary, our holistic approach at Touchstone Trauma Therapy is designed to address the complexity of stress and emotional overwhelm. By considering the whole person—mind, body, and spirit—we create a therapeutic experience that not only alleviates symptoms but also promotes long-term emotional resilience and well-being. Our goal is to help you navigate your challenges with confidence and support, equipping you with the tools to thrive in all aspects of your life.

Touchstone Trauma Therapy is a mental health practice located in Montrose, CA, specializing in trauma therapy. We provide personalized care to help clients navigate challenges such as trauma, anxiety, and depression through holistic, trauma-informed approaches.
Our services are designed for individuals, couples, and teens who are facing mental health challenges. Whether you are struggling with trauma, anxiety, depression, substance use concerns, relationship difficulties, self-esteem issues, emotional overwhelm, chronic stress, perfectionism, or feelings of disconnection, we are here to support you on your healing journey.
At Touchstone Trauma Therapy, we offer a range of trauma-informed therapies tailored to individual needs. Our approaches may include EMDR, Internal Family Systems, Mindfulness and Somatic therapies, and other holistic methods aimed at promoting healing and resilience.
If you are experiencing persistent feelings of anxiety, depression, or distress related to past experiences, trauma therapy may be beneficial. Our team can help assess your needs and guide you toward appropriate support.
During your first session at Touchstone Trauma Therapy, you will meet with a therapist who will discuss your background, current challenges, and goals for therapy. This initial assessment helps us create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Choosing the right therapist is crucial for your healing process. Here’s why Touchstone Trauma Therapy stands out in Sacramento County:

Trauma-informed care is an approach to therapy that recognizes how past trauma can affect a person’s thoughts, emotions, relationships, and physical responses. It focuses on creating a safe, supportive, and respectful environment where clients feel heard, empowered, and never pressured. At Touchstone Trauma Therapy, trauma-informed care means tailoring treatment to each person’s needs while using approaches that support healing at a pace that feels manageable and safe. At TTT, we utilize Evidence Based modalities such as EMDR, IFS and Somatic/Mindfulness that are effective in addressing and healing from trauma, including complex trauma.
Starting therapy begins with reaching out to schedule an initial consultation or first appointment. During that first step, we will talk about what brings you to therapy, your goals, and any questions you may have about the process. From there, we can determine the best approach for your needs and begin creating a treatment plan that feels supportive, personalized, and manageable.
Yes, therapy sessions are confidential. Protecting your privacy is an important part of creating a safe and supportive therapeutic space. There are a few legal and ethical limits to confidentiality, which will be reviewed with you at the beginning of therapy, but in general, what you share in session is kept private and treated with care and respect.
Somatic therapy supports trauma healing by helping clients notice and work with how trauma is held in the body, not just in thoughts or memories. Trauma can affect the nervous system in ways that lead to tension, overwhelm, numbness, or feeling constantly on edge. Through gentle body-based awareness and regulation techniques, somatic therapy helps clients reconnect with their bodies, build a greater sense of safety, and process trauma in a way that feels grounded and manageable.
