Integrative Care for
Trauma Healing
Welcome to Dear Self Trauma Therapy, where our trauma-informed therapists provide online therapy for adults and couples throughout Arizona. Whether you're living with anxiety, trauma, grief, feeling overwhelmed, or simply know something needs to change, we offer compassionate, individualized support designed around your unique story.
Our therapists integrate traditional talk therapy, Somatic Experiencing, trauma-informed care, and other evidence-based and holistic approaches to help you find the support that feels right for you.
Our Approach
At Dear Self Trauma Therapy, we recognize and honor the mind-body connection for trauma healing. We have found the body to be the missing link when processing trauma which helps trapped emotions release from the body. This approach supports healing from trauma, PTSD, anxiety, grief, and other experiences that affect the nervous system.‍ ‍
Whether you are seeking therapy for anxiety, depression, coping with a traumatic event, grief, or are generally feeling overwhelmed with your life, you don’t have to be alone in this journey. It’s an honor to help you achieve your goals, overcome these struggles, and live a more fulfilling and meaningful life.
Where Do I Start?
You don't have to have everything figured out to begin.
Most people come here feeling overwhelmed, unsure what they need, or wondering if therapy will actually help. Whether you're looking for a trauma therapist, seeking individual or couples therapy, exploring EMDR therapy, considering somatic therapy, or simply don't know where to begin, that's completely normal. We'll help you find the approach that's right for you.
Our experienced trauma therapists help adults heal from PTSD, childhood trauma, anxiety, grief, and other overwhelming life experiences using compassionate, evidence-based, and holistic approaches.
Start with Support That Meets You Where You Are
If you’re feeling anxious, overwhelmed, stuck, or not like yourself, this is often the best place to begin. We’ll help you understand what you’re experiencing and guide you toward the right kind of support for you.
Explore Trauma-Focused Therapy
If past experiences are still affecting how you feel, think, or respond in your daily life, trauma-focused therapy can help process and release what’s been held in the body.
Explore Somatic Experiencing
If stress or trauma feels like it's showing up in your body as well as your thoughts, Somatic Experiencing offers a body-based approach to healing and nervous system regulation.
Strengthen Your Relationship with Couples Therapy
If you and your partner are struggling with communication, connection, conflict, or navigating changes together, couples therapy offers a supportive space to better understand one another and strengthen your relationship.
You don’t have to figure it out alone. We’ll help guide you.
Our Core Values
Safety
We prioritize safety by establishing trust and creating a safe container for healing and growth to occur. Change is not possible when we don’t feel safe. Anyone who has ever felt unsafe knows the value of true safety.
Authenticity
Letting go of who we think we should be and embracing who we really are is essential. Therapy is the place for crying, laughing, cussing, praying, and screaming. Any authentic reaction is welcome here.
Acceptance
True acceptance and belonging are welcome here. All people are met with compassion and empathy.
Integrity
Having the courage to do what is right over what is easy or comfortable. Leaning into vulnerability and uncertainty as we have courageous conversations. We never give up on the fight for healing or the one fighting for it.
