The Role of Therapy in Healing From Trauma (And Trauma-Informed Care in Houston, TX)

Healing from trauma is not a one-size-fits-all process. It requires compassion, patience, and the right support to safely explore painful experiences and reclaim your sense of self. At Emily Blessinger Counseling in Houston, Texas, I offer trauma-informed care that meets each client with empathy, understanding, and expert guidance. Therapy with me is more than just talking—it's a journey toward relief, reconnection, and long-term resilience.

How Therapy Supports the Trauma Healing Process

Trauma can affect the brain, body, and nervous system. It often causes individuals to feel disconnected, emotionally numb, hypervigilant, or constantly overwhelmed. Therapy works by creating a safe space where you can slowly start unpacking these responses, learning how your body holds onto past experiences, and developing tools for emotional regulation.

My Approach to Trauma Therapy

As a trauma therapist trained in EMDR and other evidence-based methods, I use a trauma-informed approach to help clients feel safe, heard, and in control during their healing journey. This means we go at your pace, never pushing you into stories or emotions you're not ready to revisit. My approach to trauma therapy in Houston includes:

• EMDR to reprocess painful memories
• Mindfulness and grounding strategies for nervous system support
• Exploration of family-of-origin dynamics
• A deep focus on building trust, safety, and self-compassion

I specialize in birth trauma and perinatal mental health for women, an area that often does not get the attention it deserves.
