Trauma Healing with Integrative Psychotherapy
Restore Safety. Rebuild Identity. Reclaim Wholeness.
Understanding Trauma
Trauma isn’t just what happened—it’s how your nervous system holds the memory of what happened. It can live in your body, shape your thoughts, and subtly influence how you trust, love, work, or show up in life. Whether the trauma is acute, complex, or developmental, healing is possible when treatment addresses both the mind and the body.
According to the National Council for Mental Wellbeing, nearly 70% of adults in the U.S. have experienced at least one traumatic event in their lifetime. But trauma is highly treatable, especially when addressed through evidence-based, integrative, and compassionate care.
Our Trauma Therapy Program Includes:
1. Comprehensive Diagnostic Interview
We begin with an in-depth interview and symptom mapping to understand the full scope of your trauma history—emotional, physical, relational, and neurological.
2. EMDR Therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
As an EMDR informed Psychologist, Dr. McKeithan is trained in advanced EMDR therapy techniques for trauma, anxiety, and dissociation.
“I incorporate EMDR-informed strategies in my integrative psychotherapy practice. This gold-standard trauma treatment helps reprocess stuck memories and reduce emotional reactivity without requiring you to retell your trauma in full detail.”
EMDR is endorsed by the APA, VA, and World Health Organization for trauma recovery.
3. Mind-Body Integration
We combine mindfulness, interoceptive awareness, and somatic tracking to help your nervous system re-learn safety. Trauma is stored in the body, and healing must reach beyond words.
4. Cognitive Reframing + CBT
After emotional processing, we explore the belief systems formed by trauma (e.g., “I’m not safe,” “I’m unworthy”) and replace them with adaptive, life-affirming narratives.
5. At-Home Healing Assignments + Reading Resources
Clients receive curated reading and journaling assignments to reinforce work done in session and extend healing into daily life.
6. Advanced Supportive Therapies (Optional)
Photobiomodulation (Vielight Neuro): Supports mood regulation and neuroinflammation reduction
Vagus Nerve Stimulation: Helps rebalance autonomic dysregulation common in PTSD and chronic trauma
Supplement & Lifestyle Protocols: Target inflammation, adrenal fatigue, and mood resilience from the inside out
Optional Genetic or Food Sensitivity Panels: For clients interested in integrative health optimization

🧪 Evidence-Based. Compassion-Driven.
EMDR Therapy has been shown in studies to reduce PTSD symptoms by over 70–80% in just 6–12 sessions for many clients (Shapiro, 2018).
Mindfulness-based therapies reduce trauma-related anxiety, depression, and dissociation (van der Kolk et al., 2014).
Trauma-informed CBT is effective for reshaping distorted self-beliefs post-trauma (Beck Institute, 2023).
