Trauma & Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
Individual & Couples Trauma Therapy
At Root & Fray, trauma therapy integrates neuropsychotherapy with psychodynamic insight.
Trauma Experts
At Root & Fray, we are recognized nationally for our expertise in trauma and attachment. What sets us apart is our ability to decode underlying patterns where others see only symptoms, restore safety where fear has taken hold, and create profound, lasting transformation for both individuals and couples. Healing is never surface-level; it is intentional and carried out with exceptional care.
Trauma Work
Trauma leaves patterns in the brain, the body, and within relationships, often outside conscious awareness. At Root & Fray, we specialize in addressing these patterns with precision, depth, and insight. Our approach integrates brain-informed techniques to disrupt entrenched survival responses, and psychodynamic understanding to honor the personal meaning and history each experience carries. This work is offered for individuals and couples, allowing for profound healing that is both personal and relational, a level of depth rarely offered elsewhere.
PTSD
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
PTSD is a deeply ingrained response to traumatic experiences, affecting the brain, body, and relationships. At Root & Fray, we provide expert, individualized therapy for PTSD, combining neuropsychotherapy and psychodynamic insight to:
Interrupt survival-driven patterns such as hyperarousal, avoidance, dissociation, and reactivity
Safely process traumatic memory while maintaining stability
Restore nervous system regulation and emotional safety
Support both individuals and couples in rebuilding trust, restoring safety, and creating lasting transformation
Our PTSD work addresses both the neurological and relational impact of trauma, providing a path toward clarity, resilience, and profound change.
Individual Trauma Therapy
Trauma is carried uniquely by each person. For individuals, our work focuses on identifying and disrupting patterns at their source, while exploring the personal meaning behind them. This allows for lasting integration, insight, and restored internal safety, giving clients a renewed sense of control, resilience, and presence.
Couples Trauma Therapy
Trauma lives not only within the individual, but within relationships. Our couples work addresses reactive patterns between partners, exploring the experiences that shape them and supporting cycles of repair. Integrating Gottman-informed relational care with trauma-focused neuropsychotherapy and psychodynamic insight allows couples to rebuild trust, restore safety, and cultivate secure connection—a depth of relational trauma work rarely offered.
Our Approach
Neuropsychotherapy & Psychodynamic Insight
We combine brain-based precision with psychodynamic clarity, addressing both how trauma is encoded in the nervous system and how it shapes personal and relational patterns over time.
Neuropsychotherapy identifies survival-driven patterns, hyperarousal, dissociation, avoidance, and reactivity, and works to interrupt them at their source. This approach supports integration of traumatic memory, promotes neuroplastic change, and restores regulation, all while maintaining safety and stability.
Psychodynamic insight explores the relational and personal contexts that shape these patterns. Early experiences, recurring relational dynamics, internal conflicts, and defensive structures are held in awareness, creating the conditions for reflection, understanding, and the development of adaptive ways of relating to self and others.
By blending these approaches, we honor both the body and the story it carries, creating a trauma-informed path that is deep, intentional, and transformative.
