Trauma and PTSD Therapists in Harriman, NY
I use evidence- based, trauma- informed therapeutic approaches such as: Existential psychotherapy which emphasizes being grounded in the here and now of the moment; Motivational interviewing which explores ambivalence and resistance; and Healing processes of dance therapy which allows for relief through moving together.

I help clients work through trauma, difficult emotions, and life stressors by addressing both the mind and the body, where many patterns and limiting beliefs are held.
I also incorporate somatic and nervous system–based practices such as breathwork, mindfulness, bilateral or binaural sound techniques, and gentle movement. I work from the understanding that the body holds memory and that breath, movement, and sensation can help regulate the nervous system and reach places that language alone sometimes cannot.

Many of my clients come to therapy carrying anxiety, trauma, relationship struggles, burnout, identity exploration, family stress, or the deep emotional exhaustion that comes from surviving in spaces that weren't built for them.
You've spent your life being the strong one, the guarded one, the one who survives no matter what. Maybe you're exhausted from moving through a world that has never fully seen you, or from carrying the weight of environments where you didn't feel safe, affirmed, or free to just be yourself. You deserve a space where you don't have to carry that alone anymore.Hi, I'm Donita.

I also specialize in working with folks with high-pressure careers and a those with a history of trauma.
As a clinician, I am focused on helping clients find a life of meaning and value. Often times in our pain there is incredibly useful information about what is important to us. As humans, we have evolved to move away from physical pain, to escape it: and for most types of pain, those methods work! But for emotional pain, avoidance not only doesn’t get rid of our pain and suffering, it often amplifies it. In discovering how each individual client finds meaning in their lives, we ground ourselves in the willingness to walk toward our pain, rather than away from it. It is in this space that we find healing and meaningful change.

With over fifteen years experience working with children, adolescents, and young adults, I can help clients navigating depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, and eating disorders.

Most everyone needs support at some point in their lives and counseling offers an opportunity to forge strong connections and gain the insight and understanding that leads to change.

Trauma and PTSD Therapists
When should I seek treatment for trauma?
Not everyone who undergoes trauma needs therapy to heal, but many do. If, after experiencing a traumatic event, you find yourself struggling with symptoms such as nightmares, dissociation, irritability, or emotional numbness—especially if these symptoms last more than a month and are severe enough to interfere with your daily functioning—you may benefit from seeking out therapy with a trauma-informed provider.
How long does trauma therapy take?
Different types of therapy for trauma unfold on different timelines. Prolonged exposure therapy and cognitive processing therapy, for example, each take about three months, while trauma-informed CBT may last anywhere from 8 to 25 sessions. Other approaches, especially those that are less structured or that incorporate elements from multiple modalities, may be more open-ended, though many patients report feeling better within the first few months of treatment.
What happens if trauma is left untreated?
Unaddressed trauma can have serious—even devastating—effects on relationships, career, and day-to-day functioning. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can lead people to distrust or lash out at others, making it difficult to maintain intimate relationships; it can also trigger symptoms such as flashbacks or hyperreactivity that can interfere with a person’s ability to function effectively, personally and/or professionally. Some sufferers turn to drugs to find relief. Symptoms may lessen on their own with time, but there is no guarantee that PTSD will resolve on its own.
Can PTSD come back after treatment?
It is possible for PTSD symptoms to recur months or years after successful treatment. This is because, like most mental health disorders, it is not possible to “cure” PTSD, and stressful life events may cause symptoms to recur in even the most resilient individuals. There is no shame in re-experiencing PTSD symptoms nor in returning to therapy when such relapses occur; indeed, many forms of trauma therapy explicitly encourage periodic “maintenance sessions” to reinforce coping skills and ensure that symptoms stay manageable.
