Trauma Therapy and PTSD Treatment
in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida
Healing through safety, connection, and nervous system regulation
Trauma isn’t only what happened to you; it’s what still lives in your body and nervous system after an experience overwhelms your ability to cope or feel safe.
It can stem from a single event such as an accident, medical emergency, or sudden loss, or from what was missing: the care, stability, or understanding you needed and didn’t receive.
For many, trauma isn’t a single moment but a long-term adaptation to stress or disconnection. It may come from unpredictable environments, being the one who always had to hold it together, or feeling unseen even when surrounded by others.
These experiences live in the body as anxiety that won’t settle, numbness where emotion should be, or chronic tension and fatigue. These aren’t weaknesses; they are your body’s intelligent attempts to protect you.
Healing happens not by reliving the past, but by creating safety in the present so the body can release old patterns and rediscover balance.
We offer in-person therapy in Palm Beach Gardens and telehealth across Florida.
You may be noticing:
Feeling on edge or easily startled even in safe situations
Emotional numbness or disconnection from yourself or others
Difficulty trusting, relaxing, or feeling safe in your body
Flashbacks, nightmares, or intrusive memories that come without warning
Self-criticism, guilt, or shame that feel hard to quiet
People-pleasing or over-functioning that keeps you in constant alert
Exhaustion or chronic tension that rest does not seem to fix
A sense that you are always “managing” rather than living
Our therapy approach
At Maslowe Psychological Services, trauma therapy begins with safety, pacing, and presence. We move at the speed of your nervous system, not the mind’s urgency to get over it.
Our integrative approach draws from:
• Somatic and body-based awareness ~ learning to notice and regulate the body’s cues of safety and danger
• Parts work ~ compassionately connecting with inner parts that protect you
• EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), ART (Accelerated Resolution Therapy), and MESE (Managing Emotional States Effectively) ~ tools in trauma-informed therapy to integrate and release traumatic memories
• Polyvagal Theory ~ understanding how your nervous system responds to threat and returns to calm
