Integrated Trauma Therapy: Healing Your Whole Self
Beyond Talk Therapy
Trauma isn't just a memory; it's an experience that echoes through your entire being, disconnecting you from your power within. For many women, it makes you feel like a stranger in your own skin, no matter how much time has passed. Trauma isn't always about the events that occurred. Sometimes, it's about what DIDN'T happen- the needs that went unmet in your life, the yearning for love, safety, and security. You may find yourself feeling fragmented, presenting one face to the world- strong and confident- while another part of you is weighed down by deep hurt, pain, depression, and anxiety.
At Soulvee, we understand that healing goes beyond traditional talk therapy. We use a phased approach integrating somatic practices and EMDR, empowering you to regulate your nervous system and release the stored trauma held within your body.
We understand the weight you're carrying and the courage it takes to seek help. At Soulvee, you're not alone in this journey. We’re here to support you every step of the way, providing a safe and compassionate space for lasting change and profound healing. It’s time for you to feel whole, confident, and at peace.

FAQs
-
We understand that using your insurance in the current economic climate is important to you. Although we have traditionally only offered private pay services we are expanding to allow for insurance coverage.
At this time we are in-network for Aetna and Cigna/Evernorth.
In order to be able to offer you the ability to utilize your benefits, we use a third party billing service (Headway) to verify your insurance and process claims.
-
EMDR therapy is like a reset button for your mind after tough experiences. With EMDR, we use a specialized protocol that includes dual attention stimuli to tap into your brain's natural healing power while you think about past stuff that's been bothering you. It's a bit like hitting refresh on your mental browser, helping you let go of things that have been weighing you down, like anxiety or bad memories. We’re here to help you navigate this journey toward feeling better and getting back to yourself.
