Trauma Therapy in Northview, Grand Rapids

In Northview, daily routines can carry reminders of past stress. We start by building safety where you already spend time, like the East Beltline drive, school pickup, or evenings at home. If the hour after pickup feels tense, we practice a two minute reset you can use in the car before heading home. As your system steadies, we process what still feels stuck so you can trust your body and your judgment again.

Early on, I will not ask you to tell the whole story. We build safety first with short, body based practices and a clear stop signal. As you feel steadier, we decide together what to work with next, whether it is a present day trigger on East Beltline or a memory that still lands hard. The pace stays slow and consent led so your body can recover between steps.

What Trauma Therapy Looks Like Here

• Stabilize first so sleep, focus, and daily routines feel safer.

• Map Northview triggers and practice brief grounding you can use in the car, before school pickup, or after work along East Beltline.

• Replace shutdown or outbursts with clear steps that support connection at home.

• Update the story you tell yourself about what happened and what it means now.

• Track progress in small, repeatable ways that fit your week.
