Trauma is our emotional response to a horrific event or set of circumstances that negatively impact our day-to-day lives and overall well-being. Trauma can disrupt our sense of control, connection, and meaning. Our practice offers trauma counseling services in Alpharetta, GA designed for the whole person including their mind, body, and environment.
Our trauma therapists are knowledgeable about symptoms of trauma as well as recovery strategies to help you find balance again. Trauma can stem from a traumatic experience that can be caused by an event or set of circumstances. It may disrupt your sense of control, connection, and meaning in life.
Our professional trauma-informed counselors will work with you to help restore your sense of safety, trust in the therapeutic relationship, empowerment, recreation, and connection. The goal is for you to feel safe again.
The type of trauma therapy you receive will be based on the type of trauma you experienced to ensure you are taught the coping skills and insights you need to feel peaceful and safe.
Our team of mental health professionals use evidence based appraches, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), and cognitive processing therapy (CPT), and brainspotting therapy to address trauma.

Trauma-focused therapy is for anyone who experienced a traumatic event. It can be someone that has been sexually assaulted, witnessed violence or disaster as an observer, suffered the loss of their home due to fire or storms, lost loved ones in war zones overseas, lost a child, and much more. The trauma may also come from childhood experiences such as neglect or abuse from one’s own parents.
The type of therapy that will be most helpful for you will depend on what caused your traumatic experience or posttraumatic stress disorder. That’s why it is important to have a conversation about how we can best support you during our intake process after which your trauma treatment therapy sessions will be tailored accordingly based on your mental health needs.
Those who have experienced trauma may be hesitant to seek treatment for fear of opening up old wounds. You don’t just want to type “trauma therapist near me” into the search bar and hope for the best. That is why here at HWP we believe that treating trauma must be done at a deeply personal level. Our approach focuses on the whole person – their body, their mind, and their environment – to find the best treatment option for them.
There is a lot to consider when it comes to trauma counseling. It isn’t enough just for you to have someone who can listen and understand what you are going through. You need more than that level of support in order to heal from your traumatic experience or posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms. For this reason, our trauma counseling services focus on the following:
As you may know, a traumatic event can be anything that is deeply disturbing and distressing to your life. One of the symptoms of trauma could be feeling numb or disconnected from those around them. You might also feel intensely irritable, angry, or moody. For example, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, PTSD, is an acute stress disorder that causes long term effects on the mental health of those affected by it. It can cause difficulty concentrating, intrusive thoughts or flashbacks, feeling emotionally numb and be easily startled among other symptoms. Sometimes it’s hard for trauma survivors with PTSD to sleep well at night too as they are constantly haunted by their memories day in and day out. It’s important when seeking treatment for trauma-informed counseling not only to identify what caused your condition but deal with these other symptoms so you have more hope for inner peace and health than ever before!
If someone is experiencing or has experienced trauma, the best thing they can do for their mental health is to find a qualified therapist. HWP in Alpharetta offers a range of treatment options that are tailored to each person’s needs and goals. Trauma-informed therapy helps people heal by addressing any unresolved feelings related to past events in an approachable way. Individuals who have suffered from PTSD symptoms may be able to overcome those issues with help from our team.

HWP does not accept insurance. Managed care companies were created to “manage” and contain escalating health care costs. Their bottom line is to reduce costs and raise profits; it is not to increase the quality of care professionals provide or your quality of life. HWP is solution-focused on quality of life and personal goals.
