Trauma-Informed Care
your nervous system remembers what your is still trying to make sense of
Trauma-informed care at Tanglewood means your whole history is welcome, and your healing moves at the pace your body and mind can actually sustain.
Trauma isn't just what happened to you. It's how your body and mind adapted to survive it. Those adaptations made sense at the time. In trauma-informed therapy, we start by honoring that.
Our providers are trained in trauma's physiology, its impact on attachment, identity, and relationships, and the way it shows up in the present even when the past feels distant. We don't rush to process what's happened. We build safety first, develop your capacity to tolerate difficult material, and move at a pace that's genuinely therapeutic rather than retraumatizing.
Trauma-informed care isn't a single modality; it's a lens we apply across everything we do. It may include somatic approaches, EMDR, parts work, narrative therapy, or relational support, depending on what fits you and where you are in your healing.
Who This is For
People who have experienced adverse childhood experiences, relational trauma, sexual or physical violence, medical trauma, first responder or occupational trauma, or any experience that has left lasting marks on how they feel in their body, in relationships, or in the world.
What to Expect
Trauma-informed therapy is not about telling your story over and over. It's about understanding what the story did to you, and building the inner resources to hold it differently. The pace is collaborative and consent-based throughout.
