PTSD & Trauma Therapy
Online Therapy to Support Your Healing Journey
Trauma changes how the brain processes memories, how the body responds to stress, and how safe or connected you feel in daily life. Months, years, or even decades after experiencing a traumatic event, you may find yourself avoiding certain people or places, reliving painful moments, feeling constantly on edge, or struggling to trust yourself or others.
Your mind and your body may stuck in survival mode, but they’re keeping you from living the life you want to live. Surviving trauma and its effects is hard, but with the right tools and support, things can get better.
We provide evidence-based online PTSD therapy using CPT (Cognitive Processing Therapy) and integrating somatic approaches and techniques from other evidence-based therapies to help you understand your trauma, soften its impact, and build a life guided by safety, choice, and meaning.

You’re not “Overreacting” - Your Brain is Responding to Trauma
Trauma symptoms can show up as:
Intrusive memories or flashbacks
Nightmares or sleep difficulties
Avoiding places, situations, or internal feelings
Feeling numb, disconnected, or detached
Hypervigilance and difficulty relaxing
Irritability, anger, or emotional flooding
Persistent guilt, shame, or self-blame
Difficulty feeling safe—even in safe moments
These reactions are your mind and body doing their best to protect you.
But this “survival mode” takes a toll on your mind and body.
With support, you can learn new ways of responding that help you feel more grounded, empowered, and at peace.
If you have questions about if trauma therapy could help you to address your symptoms, contact us today.
Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) is one of the most effective, research-supported treatments for PTSD. CPT helps you understand how trauma changed your beliefs about yourself, others, and the world — and gives you practical tools for changing the patterns that keep you stuck.
With CPT, you will learn to:
Identify unhelpful trauma-related thoughts
Reduce self-blame and guilt
Challenge distorted beliefs with compassion
Reconnect with a sense of safety and trust
Understand why your reactions make sense
Build new patterns that support healing and stability
CPT doesn’t force you to relive traumatic memories. Instead, we gently explore how trauma affected your thinking — and how to shift those patterns to reduce distress and reclaim your life.
How CPT Helps Heal the Impact of Trauma
A Trauma Therapy Approach that isn’t “One Size Fits All”
With online trauma therapy at Rise & Find, you will find a compassionate, individualized, evidence-based approach to helping you heal from past trauma and find a sense of meaning and calm. Every person has their own unique story, unique personal values, and unique needs. We seek to honor every individual’s unique needs by taking the following steps:
1. Understanding Your Story (At Your Pace)
We begin with your current symptoms, your history, and your goals — and go no faster than feels safe.
2. Building Safety
Talking about the symptoms related to your trauma can be difficult, so we want to help you feel safe with your therapist, and also build some tools to help you feel a sense of calm and safety in your body day-to-day.
3. Identifying Your Unique Stuck Points
We gently explore the beliefs trauma left behind about yourself and the world around you (e.g., “It was my fault,” “I can’t trust anyone,” “I’m not safe anywhere”). Over time, we will help you build tools to examine and challenge these thoughts when they are triggered
4. Taking Values-Guided Action
As triggers soften, we work toward reconnecting with meaning, relationships, and the parts of life trauma made difficult.
5. Maintaining Gains and Progress
The goal is long-term resilience, clarity, and self-trust.
RISE from your past. FIND the life you dream of.
RISE from your past. FIND the life you dream of.
Trauma changes your life. Healing can change it too.
If you’re ready to move toward stability, meaning, and a life guided by your values instead of your past, take one small step towards healing today.
