Do you feel heavy with despair, struggling each day to keep your head just above the darkness and dread? Does it take every ounce of energy to stay afloat? Or are you feeling overwhelmed by feelings of helplessness and hopelessness? Do you feel anxious and worry too much about a variety of things or a specific issue? Is there an issue surrounding a lack of faithfulness, money, being a parent, the in-laws, or work? Do you need someone to talk with that will listen? Do you need to better understand and cope with previous trauma? Are you feeling profound sadness after the death of a loved one? I deeply value, understand and listen.

Welcome is how I want you to feel in therapy. I have nearly 30 years of experience to teach you skills to serve yourself and others. Motivated people address their mood disorders, trauma, work stress, past and present relationship/family problems to move forward. I use EMDR for trauma, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Mindfulness techniques together with psychodynamic psychotherapy. I learned to respect that most people know themselves deep down and may need a few new tools. We will create an atmosphere of kindness, introspection, humor, and good will in which to reach your goals. rebeccaburgmanlcsw.com

” I work with all the detours that get in our way: anxiety, depression, grief, attention, impulse control, emotional regulation, bipolar, relationships, and TRAUMA RECOVERY just to name a few.
Taking time out for yourself is often an overwhelming task. Getting help isn’t easy. I know. I’ve been there. And I know, this is an important step. Sometimes in life we go through painful experiences. We usually try our best to work though that pain alone. Maybe we even have close friends and family who we confide in…but we still may feel alone, disconnected, or misunderstood. We are not designed to heal from pain and emotional injury by ourselves - alone. Having attempted that myself, I managed to only compound that loneliness and pain. Ultimately, professional guidance helped lead my healing. I think I can help lead yours.

My job as a counselor is not to "fix" people or give advice, but to help people learn to "fix" the things in their life that are not working through education, cognitive behavioral therapy, behavior modification, and other therapy modalities. When something in our life is not working well, we need to make changes to become happier and more content.

Other skill-building tools used to identify steps on the pathway to healing/grieving past traumatic experiences include: grief and trauma resolution techniques, assertivness training, conflict resolution, decision-making skills, boundary setting, relaxation techniques, and emotion regulation.
Consider that the path to pursue your passions and dreams is actually within your reach. What if you could begin this process today, and no longer carry burdens from the past with you? Past traumatic experiences often leave an imprint on the mind/body in such a way that present-day stressors can easily trigger a recurrent emotional/physical stress response. Each environmental trigger validates an automatic physical stress response because the central nervous system is pre-set/pre-wired to be ON ALERT. Stress can be cumulative and create illness or a disease process over time (i.e., fibromyalgia, CFIDS, autoimmune response, etc.).

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.
