Trauma Counseling in Michigan

Your Story Matters

Trauma doesn’t just stay in the past — it can live in your body, your thoughts, and your relationships.

 

Whether you’re coping with the aftermath of a single event or a lifetime of painful experiences, therapy can help you feel safe again — in your mind, your body, and your world.

 

At Rising Recovery PLC, our trauma-informed therapists offer compassionate, evidence-based support to help you heal at your own pace — without pressure, judgment, or shame.

Understanding Trauma & Its Impact

Trauma can take many forms — accidents, loss, neglect, abuse, or situations that simply felt overwhelming.

Some people heal naturally over time. For others, the effects linger — shaping how they think, feel, and connect.

 

If you’re living with anxiety, fear, numbness, or shame long after an event, you’re not alone. And you deserve support.

Common Trauma Responses

You may notice:

 

  • Avoidance: steering clear of reminders, places, or people

  • Re-experiencing: flashbacks, nightmares, or intrusive thoughts

  • Hyperarousal: tension, irritability, or feeling “on edge”

  • Negative mood and cognition: guilt, detachment, or difficulty trusting others

 

These are normal responses to abnormal experiences. Healing begins when you no longer have to carry them alone.

How Trauma Therapy Helps

Trauma therapy isn’t about “moving on.” It’s about reclaiming your sense of safety, agency, and self-trust.

 

Together, we’ll work to:

 

  • Gently process what happened — always at your pace

  • Identify how trauma has shaped your thoughts, emotions, and body

  • Build tools for grounding, self-soothing, and emotional regulation

  • Integrate healing into daily life and relationships

 

We use approaches such as CBT, DBT, and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), tailored to your needs.

 

And because trauma often overlaps with anxiety, depression, or addiction, we treat the whole person — not just the symptom.
