PTSD and Complex Trauma (C-PTSD) can profoundly affect your mental, emotional, and physical well-being. Trauma can result from single events or prolonged experiences, including:

Trauma often lives in the body, leaving you feeling “stuck,” hypervigilant, disconnected, or overwhelmed. At Peace Humanistic Therapy in Woodinville, we move beyond traditional talk therapy. By integrating Somatic Experiencing, body-based healing, and trauma-informed therapy, we support nervous system regulation, helping you feel safe, grounded, and present in your body.

What is Trauma Therapy?

Trauma therapy is a specialized, trauma-informed form of psychotherapy designed to help teens and adults process and heal from the lasting effects of traumatic experiences. Trauma can result from a single overwhelming event or from ongoing experiences such as:

  • Developmental or childhood trauma

  • Attachment wounds or emotional neglect

  • Chronic stress or relational trauma

  • Experiences overlapping with ADHD, anxiety, or depression

Many individuals live with unresolved trauma without realizing it, experiencing symptoms like hypervigilance, emotional numbness, anxiety, difficulty trusting others, low self-esteem, or feeling “stuck”.

Trauma therapy is not about reliving the past. Instead, it focuses on restoring safety, emotional regulation, and nervous system balance, while helping you feel grounded, present, and empowered in your daily life.

Trauma & Dissociation Assessment Services in Woodinville, WA

Understanding your trauma is the first step toward healing. At Peace Humanistic Therapy, we offer trauma-informed assessments for PTSD, complex PTSD (C-PTSD), and dissociative disorders. These assessments provide:
