Trauma Therapy in Los Angeles
You Don’t Have to Carry This Alone
You don’t have to carry your trauma alone. If you’ve been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or hyper-aware of danger—even in safe spaces—these could be signs of the weight of trauma that never had a chance to heal.
We offer trauma therapy in Los Angeles for people who are ready—at their own pace—to begin that healing. Whether you’re dealing with childhood trauma, emotional abuse, or a sense of “I don’t even know why I feel this way,” you are welcome here.
Our approach combines compassion with evidence-based tools like EMDR therapy and DBT for trauma, helping you move from survival mode into something softer, safer, and more whole.
What Is Trauma Therapy?
Trauma isn’t just about what happened to you—it’s also about how your body and mind learned to protect you in the aftermath. Trauma therapy helps you gently unpack those responses and begin to feel safe in your life again.
At Diversified Therapy, we offer trauma-informed therapy designed to support your nervous system, your emotions, and your story—without pushing or retraumatizing.
Our Trauma Therapy Services
We use two highly effective therapies, tailored to meet you wherever you are:
EMDR Therapy in Los Angeles
(Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
EMDR therapy is a healing method that helps the brain process painful memories in a way that takes the charge out of them. You don’t need to relive your trauma or talk through every detail for EMDR to work—many people find it more manageable than traditional talk therapy.
If you’ve been searching for EMDR trauma therapy in Los Angeles, we offer a grounded, gentle, and experienced approach to this transformative process.
DBT for Trauma and Emotional Resilience
Sometimes trauma shows up not just in memories, but in how we relate to emotions, boundaries, and others. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) can help you feel more in control, more regulated, and less reactive.
We specialize in DBT trauma therapy in Los Angeles, especially for those who’ve experienced emotional neglect, invalidation, or intense relationships that left lasting wounds. You’ll learn tools to handle distress, calm your nervous system, and connect without shutting down.
What We Support
Childhood trauma and complex PTSD
Relationship trauma or betrayal
Emotional neglect and codependency
Racial trauma and systemic harm
Sexual trauma and boundary violations
Anxiety, shame, or guilt related to past experiences
You don’t have to “get over it” or pretend it’s not affecting you anymore. There’s space for your real experience here.
Why Work With Us?
Because you deserve trauma therapy that doesn’t feel clinical or cold. You deserve to feel seen, respected, and supported as a whole person.
EMDR-certified trauma therapists
DBT-trained clinicians with deep compassion
Culturally affirming, LGBTQIA+ inclusive space
Warm, personalized care—we go at your pace, not ours
We believe healing doesn’t have to be harsh to be effective. We offer a soft landing for your hardest stories.
FAQs About Trauma Therapy in Los Angeles
-
There isn’t a one-size-fits-all method, but EMDR therapy and DBT are both trusted, effective approaches. EMDR helps reduce the emotional pain of past experiences, while DBT builds tools for managing emotions in the present. We’ll help you find what works best for you.
-
Not exactly. EMDR is a type of trauma therapy, often used when people feel stuck in specific memories or body responses. It’s just one approach we may use to support your healing.
-
Look for someone trained in trauma-informed care, especially in approaches like EMDR or DBT therapy. Just as important: someone who makes you feel safe, heard, and never judged. That’s what we offer here at Diversified Therapy.
-
DBT therapy is incredibly helpful for emotional trauma, especially when trauma affects how you manage your feelings or relationships. EMDR can also be powerful for releasing the emotional weight tied to specific events.
-
Trauma can feel like a storm you can’t get out of—it might show up as anxiety, emotional numbness, flashbacks, or even irritability and exhaustion. Some people feel disconnected from their bodies or constantly on edge. Everyone’s experience is unique, but if something inside feels “off” and you’re not sure why, trauma therapy in Los Angeles can help explore and soothe those feelings.
-
There’s no universal timeline. Some clients feel significant relief after a few months of consistent sessions, especially with EMDR therapy, while others may need longer-term support—particularly if they’re healing from complex trauma or childhood wounds. We go at your pace, always.
