“Trauma disrupts connection. Healing happens in the space of connection.”

~ Deb Dana

At The Catalyst Center, we understand that trauma can profoundly impact your life, but it doesn’t have to define your future. Our dedicated team specializes in trauma therapy and trauma recovery, offering a compassionate and personalized approach to help you heal and find a renewed sense of stability and well-being.

We provide a diverse range of evidence-based services that take into account the whole person—mind, body, and spirit—ensuring that each individual’s unique healing journey is supported. Our integrative approach blends neuroscience, somatic work, and psychological insight to create a path forward.

How We Approach Trauma Healing

Healing Through Science, Compassion, and Holistic Integration

Healing from trauma therapy involves more than just discussing past events; it’s about integrating mind and body to process experiences adaptively. The Catalyst Center approach recognizes that healing from trauma is not only about reducing symptoms but also about transforming how we see ourselves and relate to the world around us. Our trauma therapy specialists utilize evidence-based, integrative methods tailored to your unique needs.

Trauma affects every aspect of our well-being—mind, body, and spirit. Healing is not just about processing memories but about restoring a sense of safety, trust, and connection within ourselves and with others. Our approach to trauma therapy is grounded in Attachment Theory, Polyvagal Theory, and the Bio-Psycho-Social-Spiritual framework, recognizing that trauma is held in the nervous system and impacts how we engage with the world.

Through an integrative process, we help clients reconnect with their innate resilience, using tailored strategies that promote emotional regulation, body awareness, and psychological healing. Whether you are navigating past wounds or recent distress, we provide a supportive space where all aspects of healing—physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual—are honored.
