Trauma-Informed Counseling Built Around You
Trauma affects each person differently. Counseling should not feel like a one-size-fits-all process. North Star counselors take time to understand your experiences, concerns, strengths, and goals before recommending an approach.
Depending on your needs, counseling may include:
- Trauma therapy
- PTSD therapy and support
- EMDR therapy
- Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)
- Prolonged Exposure Therapy
- Brainspotting
- Narrative Therapy
- Anxiety and panic support
- Depression counseling
- Grief and loss counseling
- Relationship and family counseling
- Support during major life transitions
Your counselor can explain the available options and help you decide what feels like a comfortable place to begin.
EMDR and Other Trauma Therapy Approaches
EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is one approach that may be considered when someone is working through distressing memories, trauma, anxiety, or PTSD symptoms. Other approaches may also be appropriate depending on your history and goals.
North Star counselors may draw from EMDR, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Prolonged Exposure Therapy, Brainspotting, Narrative Therapy, and other individualized methods. The goal is not to place you into a predetermined program. The goal is to identify care that fits your needs and feels manageable as you move forward.
