Trauma-Informed Care

At Prime Therapy, we place a strong emphasis on ensuring your physical, psychological, and emotional safety throughout the healing process. By focusing on these aspects, trauma-informed care helps survivors begin the process of rebuilding their sense of control and empowerment.  Trauma-informed care is a therapeutic approach that recognizes and understands the widespread effects and impact of trauma on individuals.

 

The Prime Therapy goals of trauma-informed care is to address the symptoms and behaviors that result from traumatic experiences. We equip you with the skills and insights necessary to support long-term healing and resilience through individual therapy at our Bedminster office, or remotely through Telehealth.  We will guide toward recovery and personal growth and foster a renewed sense of confidence and well-being.

 

Trauma-informed care at Prime Therapy integrates knowledge about trauma into every aspect of your healing journey. We maintain an environment that promotes safety, empowerment, trustworthiness, collaboration, and respect for individual autonomy. By fostering these principles, our trauma-informed care aims to avoid re-traumatization and actively supports resilience and recovery, allowing you to reclaim your life.

​ 

Our framework promotes a shift in perspective from asking, "What's wrong with you?" to "What happened to you?" This change fosters empathy and ensures that you feel seen, heard, and respected.  The Prime Therapy focus is one of safety, trustworthiness and transparency, peer support, collaboration and mutualism, empowerment, voice and choice, and addressing cultural, historical, and gender issues.
