Your story matters. Your healing matters. We're here to help you reclaim your life from trauma.

Trauma doesn't always announce itself with flashbacks or nightmares. Sometimes it whispers through hypervigilance, through difficulty trusting others, or through feeling like you're watching your life from the outside. Maybe you've been telling yourself to "just get over it" or wondering why something that happened years ago still affects you today. You're not broken, and you're not overreacting—trauma changes us, and healing is possible.

At A Road Through, we offer specialized trauma therapy in Los Angeles that honors the complexity of your experience. Whether you're dealing with childhood trauma, relationship abuse, sexual assault, medical trauma, or the accumulated weight of life's overwhelming moments—we're here to help you find your way back to yourself.

What Trauma Can Look Like

Trauma affects everyone differently, and it doesn't always look the way people expect:

• You feel constantly on edge, scanning for danger even when you're safe

• You have trouble sleeping, concentrating, or feeling present in your body

• Certain sounds, smells, or situations send you into panic or shutdown

• You feel disconnected from your emotions or like you're watching life happen to you

• You struggle with trust, intimacy, or feeling safe in relationships

• You have gaps in your memory or feel like parts of your past are fuzzy

• You experience sudden waves of anger, sadness, or overwhelming emotion

• You feel shame, guilt, or blame yourself for what happened

• You avoid certain places, people, or activities that remind you of the trauma

You don't need a formal PTSD diagnosis to benefit from trauma-informed care. If something difficult happened to you—whether it was a single incident or repeated experiences—and it's still affecting how you move through the world, that's enough.

A Place Where Your Story Is Safe

We understand how vulnerable it feels to talk about trauma, especially when you've been minimized, blamed, or told to "move on" by others. Many of our clients come to PTSD therapy feeling like they need to have their story perfectly organized or worry they won't be believed. You don't have to perform your pain or prove your worth here.

In our work together, you'll have space to go at your own pace, to feel what you need to feel, and to begin healing in a way that feels safe and sustainable. We believe in your resilience, and we're here to help you reconnect with your own strength while processing what happened to you.

Our Approach to Trauma Treatment in Los Angeles

At A Road Through, we use a trauma-informed, body-centered approach that recognizes trauma lives in the nervous system, not just in our thoughts. We don't rush you toward forgiveness or push you to "process" before you're ready. Instead, we start by helping you feel safe and grounded in your own body.

We integrate specialized trauma therapies including:

• Attachment Therapy - healing relational wounds and building secure connections

• Somatic Experiencing - releasing trauma stored in the body

• Internal Family Systems (IFS) - healing different parts of yourself affected by trauma

• Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) - addressing trauma-related thoughts and beliefs

• Brainspotting - accessing and processing trauma through the brain-body connection

• Mindfulness and grounding techniques - building present-moment safety

• Culturally responsive and identity-affirming care - honoring how your identities intersect with your trauma experience

Your trauma therapist will work collaboratively with you to create a treatment plan that feels manageable and honors your unique healing process. We understand that healing isn't linear, and we'll be with you through the ups and downs.

Trauma Therapy That Honors Your Experience

• Complex PTSD (C-PTSD) from childhood trauma or repeated experiences
