Gottman couples therapy & EMDR trauma work are proven effective treatments.
Are you finding that you and your significant other seem to fail at communication yet succeed in conflict with each other? Do arguments not get resolved and instead it's one issue after another? Do you feel tired and lost in your relationship? Trust and commitment alone are difficult things to cultivate, let alone building insight and effective communication.  Whether you're wanting help early or this is the last ditch effort, bravo for your willingness and bravery for exploring your options. Also, if your past still affects your present, do you want to continue allowing those traumas to weigh heavy in your life?

I am grateful you are here; seeking counseling is a brave and intentional next step. Getting through this season, may require self examination in order to figure out alternate routes. I can help you discover and resolve barriers that impede on that path. Through support, empathy, partnership, and evidenced based practices we can work through this; it does get better.

나는 정상이라 괜찮아! 라고 생각하셨나요? 심리상담은 "정상"인 우리 모두에게 필요한, 내가 나를 찾아가는 성장의 여정입니다. 많은 한국 분들이 심리상담을 어려워 합니다. 아마 한국인의 정서상 전문가에게 내 문제를 말하고 조언을 구하는게 아직 익숙하지 않기 때문인것 같습니다. 상처받은 마음을 들여다보고 문제점을 해결하는 과정은 마치, 몸이 아플때 의사를 찾아가서 치료를 받는 것과 같습니다. 평소에 정신건강에 관심을 갖고, 내 마음을 잘 보살피면 더 큰 어려움이 오는것을 예방할수 있겠죠. 그 과정에 때로는 전문가의 개입이 훨씬 도움이 되고 효율적인 때가 많습니다. 저는 불안 증상을 다루는데 있어서 전문가입니다. 그 밖에, 우울증, 적응문제, 인간관계, 가족 갈등, 정체성의 고민, 스트레스, 트라우마, 상실과 애도, 애착이슈 등을 중점적으로 연구하고 상담합니다. 나의 가장 두렵고 상처받은 부분을 잘 보듬어줄 수 있는 전문가를 선택하기 위해, 상담자의 교육, 훈련 배경등을 아는것은 중요한 첫걸음 입니다.

인생을 살다 보면 누구나 예외없이 ‘감당하기 어려운 일들’과 마주치게 됩니다. 때로는 이런 버거운 상황들이 마음의 짐이나 트라우마가 되고, 그러다보면 우울증, 불안증, 스트레스, 강박증, 대인기피증, 분노와 같은 마음의 병이 생기기도 합니다. 이런 마음의 병들은 나를 잃어버리게 만들고 사람들과의 관계를 무너뜨릴 뿐 아니라 우리의 일상 생활과 사회생활을 어렵게 만듭니다. 그리고 결국 우리는 그 문제 속에 갇혀버리게 됩니다. 이럴 땐 잠시 문제로부터 떨어져 다른 관점으로 문제를 보는 것이 도움이 될 수 있습니다. 또한 누군가 나를 전폭적으로 지지해주고 공감해주며 도울 수 있는 사람이 있다는 것만으로도 위로가 되기도 합니다.

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.
