How We Help
Find the care that fits.
Three ways to browse our work: by what you're experiencing, by who you are, or by the treatment approach you're curious about. They all lead to the same place.
Most people who reach out to us are not sure what to ask for. They know something is off. They've heard a few words like trauma, EMDR, or anxiety, and they're trying to figure out which one fits and what to do about it. The pages below are organized to help you find the door that makes sense for you.
There is no wrong way in. If you'd rather skip the browsing and just talk to a person, scheduling a consultation is the most direct path. We can help you sort out what kind of work might fit, and there's no commitment to start care from a consultation.
Start here
By what you're experiencing
If a specific experience or symptom brought you here, this is the most direct way to find the work that fits. Each page describes the condition in plain language, the approaches we use for it, and what to expect.
Anxiety
Generalized anxiety, panic, social anxiety, and the patterns that often run underneath. Includes how anxiety connects to earlier experiences and how trauma-informed therapy treats it.
Read moreDepression
Major depression, persistent low-grade depression, and depression with roots in loss, shame, or earlier experiences. Includes when medication is part of the picture.
Read moreTrauma & PTSD
A guide to how trauma affects the brain and body, the difference between PTSD and complex PTSD, and how specialized trauma therapy works.
Read moreNot sure what you're carrying counts as trauma? Our trauma symptoms guide walks through how trauma shows up across emotional, body, cognitive, and relational dimensions. Or if you want to go deeper on a specific framing: PTSD, complex PTSD, and childhood trauma each have dedicated pages.
There is no wrong door. Whatever brought you here is enough to start a conversation.

Not sure where to start?
A consultation is a low-pressure way to talk through what's going on and figure out whether we're the right fit. There's no commitment to start care from a consultation, and we're glad to point you elsewhere if another practice is a better match.
If a form doesn't feel right, you can also email us at info@traumaspecialistsofmd.com. We're here either way.
