Counseling for Trauma

“Do not call to mind the former things, or ponder things of the past. Behold, I will do something new, Now it will spring forth; Will you not be aware of it? I will even make a roadway in the wilderness, Rivers in the desert.” – Isaiah 43:18-19

It almost goes without saying, that you or someone close to you will experience some form of trauma in this lifetime. Whether it’s a car accident, physical, sexual, or emotional abuse or neglect, the sudden death of a loved one, a violent criminal act, exposure to the violence of war, or a natural disaster, almost all of us will experience some type of traumatic event.

While many people can recover from trauma over time, others discover that it’s not so easy to bounce back from the dreadful effects of traumatic events. Such individuals often suffer from ongoing emotional pain, fear, confusion, or posttraumatic stress long after the traumatic event has passed. In these circumstances, the clinical support a licensed professional counselor or other licensed mental health professional is critical.

Research points to various forms of psychotherapy such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) as effective forms of treatment for trauma, and we agree with that research, but we also believe that the greatest healer of all is God. With that in mind, at Fortify Christian Counseling, LLC we work to integrate the best of all secular trauma treatments with the wisdom and biblical guidance found in God’s Word, to bring about restoration of the body, strengthening of the mind, and healing of the soul.

If you or someone you know is suffering from the debilitating effects of trauma and you are looking for a Christ-centered way to freedom, please contact Fortify Christian Counseling, LLC today.
