Therapy for Trauma In Austin, TX
Healing and Growth Through Trauma Therapy
At Plan Purpose Counseling, trauma therapy offers a compassionate, evidence-based approach to help you process and heal from distressing experiences. Whether you’re coping with the aftermath of a single traumatic event or dealing with complex, long-term trauma, our therapy sessions are designed to meet your unique needs. We provide a safe, supportive environment to help you navigate the emotional, psychological, and physical impacts of trauma and work toward long-lasting recovery.
Trauma therapy focuses on helping you regain a sense of control over your life by addressing unresolved pain, fear, and emotional distress. Our goal is to guide you through the healing process, offering tools and insights that empower you to reclaim your sense of safety, confidence, and well-being. Areas of focus may include:
Processing Traumatic Memories
Trauma therapy provides a structured space to safely explore painful memories and emotions related to trauma. Through therapeutic techniques, you’ll begin to process these experiences and reduce their impact on your daily life.
Building Resilience and Coping Skills
Trauma therapy focuses not just on healing from past pain but also on building resilience for the future. You’ll develop coping skills that help you manage stress, emotional overwhelm, and the challenges that arise in everyday life.
Restoring Your Sense of Self
Trauma can leave you feeling disconnected from who you are, impacting your self-esteem and identity. Therapy helps you reconnect with yourself, fostering self-compassion, confidence, and a renewed sense of personal strength.
Creating a Path Forward
Healing from trauma takes time, but therapy offers a roadmap for recovery. With the right support, you can begin to move beyond the pain of the past, restore your emotional and psychological well-being, and create a path forward toward a brighter, more fulfilling future.

Duration of Therapy
Most clients begin with weekly sessions. Depending on your unique history, experiences, and goals; counseling may be short-term, lasting 6-8 sessions, or more extended therapy which can be anywhere from 6 months to years. I believe that there should be an ongoing dialogue during counseling, from initial contact to termination, about the process, goals and how it is working. We will discuss together how often and how long you will continue therapy. I find that regular sessions initially help to ensure you get your needs met and we can form a strong partnership. The goal is to assure that you are getting the best quality care to meet your needs.
