Trauma Informed Therapy in Pennsylvania
Trauma-informed care is an approach to providing care and support that recognizes, believes, honors, and compassionately responds to the impacts that trauma has on people.
TRAUMA-INFORMED treatment is imperative in the treatment of trauma, complex trauma, eating disorders, and body image concerns.
Here at Reclaim Therapy, we are a group of eating disorder therapists and trauma specialists in Pennsylvania. As a trauma-informed therapy practice, we understand how trauma has an ongoing and living impact on the mental, physical, relational, social, spiritual, and emotional realms of the human experience.
We meet our clients with acceptance, curiosity, compassion, and a genuine interest in them, and what they have experienced, as humans in the world.
We believe that it is a right for all people to resolve and heal from the trauma they have experienced.
How does this look in practice?
We will never ask you what’s wrong with you. Instead, what happened to you? How did you adapt (or how are you adapting) to what happened to you?
Recognition that you are living in a number of competing systems that have a great impact on you (ex: families, diet-culture, communities)
We move away from labels and pathology. You are a human who is suffering as a result of your life experiences. If you are going to be using out-of-network benefits, we will discuss a diagnosis with you before generating a superbill. Your consent matters.
Reminding you that you are doing the very best you can. Your symptoms are survival strategies to deal with the legacy of the trauma you have experienced.
Inviting you to settle into being the expert on your own life. Our job is to support you by encouraging you to lean into your own agency and choice in your treatment, collaborating with other members of your support team, and empowering you to deepen your resilience, and connection to yourself and the people you care about.
As a TRAUMA-INFORMED practice, we commit to:
➝ Prioritize both physical and emotional safety for our clients. This means working our hardest to ensure that folks feel safe and as comfortable as possible in their relationship with their therapist, in our physical office, and in interactions they have with us, as a therapy practice.
➝ Build a foundation of trust, communication, and collaboration. Your treatment is your own. We are transparent about how we conceptualize your treatment and believe that your autonomy to choose, to pace, to ask for support, and to move through the therapy process is vital to healing. We strive to make you feel informed, respected, and in control.
➝ Empower you to develop coping skills, utilize education and resources, and invite your active curiosity and participation in your healing and recovery process.
➝ Acknowledge the influence of culture and engage in sensitivity trainings and practices to honor diverse backgrounds, experiences, and beliefs.
➝ Understand the vast impact that trauma has. We recognize that trauma can manifest in many different ways and will team with you to address the underlying causes of symptoms or behaviors. We understand that the symptoms you are experiencing are strategies that your system has developed in an effort to stay safe and regulated.
➝ The ongoing process of learning and growing, remaining up to date about the latest research, best practices, and trauma-informed interventions. With your permission, we will ask for and encourage regular feedback from you to ensure that we are responsive, effective, and aligned with your needs and goals.
We stand in reverence to the people we work with and how they move through their day-to-day.
We see, and have a great respect for, how your nervous system is working so very hard to regulate the impact that unresolved trauma has had on your mind and on your body.
If you’re looking for a trauma-informed eating disorder therapist in Pennsylvania, or a trauma therapist in Pennsylvania, we would be honored to support you.
