Compassionate Trauma Counseling in San Francisco » Well Clinic

After getting to know you and understanding the details of your specific traumas, our highly trained therapists and counselors will develop an integrated treatment plan.

In addition to traditional talk therapy, your trauma treatment plan may incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), meditation, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and introducing a mindfulness practice into your everyday life.

CBT is an excellent choice for those with complex trauma histories, such as those who served in the military or had a difficult upbringing, as it allows you the time and space necessary to talk through your experiences and address the emotional wounds that have arisen due to the pain you suffered. EMDR works well for specific traumatic incidents like a car crash because it uses scientifically based treatments that help to “unstick” painful memories and allow your brain to heal. San Francisco counselors will take the time to learn about your specific needs in order to recommend the best treatment modality for you and will also encourage you to develop greater mindfulness throughout your everyday life, regardless of which option you choose.

Your therapist also may recommend out-of-office acupuncture treatments, yoga and exercise.
