Trauma- and Stress-Related Disorders

Our individual therapy is the path to achieving emotional balance

Trauma and stress-related disorders develop after experiencing or witnessing distressing, life-altering events. These disorders can result from a single traumatic event, ongoing abuse, chronic stress, or a combination of experiences. Trauma-related symptoms can significantly impact emotional well-being, daily functioning, and interpersonal relationships.

Dr. Jaitly approaches trauma and stress-related disorders with sensitivity, understanding, and evidence-based therapeutic techniques. She creates a safe, supportive space where clients can process their experiences without fear of judgment.

Therapeutic Approaches Utilized

Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT)

Helps clients process trauma by identifying unhelpful thoughts and building healthier coping mechanisms (Cohen et al., 2006).

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

Uses guided eye movements to help reprocess traumatic memories, reducing their emotional impact (Shapiro, 2001).

Somatic Experiencing

Focuses on releasing stored tension and stress from the body, recognizing the physical manifestations of trauma.

Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR)

Incorporates mindfulness to reduce physiological stress and improve emotional regulation.

Narrative Therapy

Encourages clients to rewrite their stories in a way that fosters empowerment and healing.
