Why Trauma Work Matters

Trauma isn’t just a moment—it’s an imprint. It can shape how we see ourselves, how we relate to others, and how we move through the world. Sometimes it shows up as anxiety, disconnection, or a sense of being stuck. Other times, it hides beneath perfectionism, people-pleasing, or chronic stress.

At Birch & Bloom Counseling, we believe healing begins with acknowledgment. Trauma—whether from childhood, relationships, loss, or life transitions—deserves space, understanding, and care. Working through it isn’t about “fixing” what’s broken. It’s about reclaiming your voice, your safety, and your sense of self.

We offer a calm, supportive environment where you can explore your story at your own pace. Together, we’ll identify patterns, build resilience, and gently untangle the impact trauma has had on your life. Because you deserve more than survival—you deserve to bloom.

Trauma Therapy w/ Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)

At Birch and Bloom, I specialize in Trauma Therapy using Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) to help individuals process and heal from traumatic experiences effectively and efficiently. ART is an evidence-based, innovative approach that uses eye movement and visualization techniques to address the emotional and physical effects of trauma.

This therapy is designed to reduce distressing symptoms by helping clients reframe and resolve traumatic memories without requiring them to relive or verbally recount their experiences in detail. ART offers a structured yet compassionate process that empowers clients to regain control over their thoughts, emotions, and lives.

Key benefits of ART include:

  • Relief from symptoms of anxiety, PTSD, depression, and stress

  • Processing and resolving traumatic memories quickly (often in as few as 1-5 sessions)

  • A non-invasive, client-driven approach that respects individual comfort levels

  • Development of healthier emotional responses and coping mechanisms

ART is highly effective for a wide range of traumas, including:

  • Abuse or neglect

  • Loss and grief

  • Accidents or injuries

  • Violence or combat experiences

  • Life-altering events

At Birch and Bloom, I am committed to helping you break free from the burdens of trauma and move toward a brighter, more peaceful future.
