Headline: Healing Where the Story is Stored: A Somatic Path to Trauma Recovery
Beyond Just Talking About It
If you have lived through trauma, you know that the past doesn't just stay in the past. It shows up in your body as a tightened chest, a constant state of "high alert," or a heavy, persistent exhaustion. When traditional talk therapy isn't enough, it’s often because your nervous system is still stuck in a survival loop.
My Approach: Integrated Somatic Therapy
I provide a holistic, bottom-up approach to healing that honors the deep connection between your mind and body. We move beyond the "narrative" of your trauma to address the physical reality of how your body has stored those experiences. Through specialized, embodied practices, we will:
Address Physical Manifestations: Gently track and release the stored tension, chronic pain, or "freezing" responses that keep you stuck.
Facilitate Deeper Processing: By quieting the analytical mind and listening to the body’s "unspoken voice," we create space for emotional release that words alone cannot reach.
Rebuild Safety & Regulation: You will learn tangible tools to settle your nervous system, allowing you to move from a state of "reacting" to a state of resilient presence.

Treating trauma and PTSD requires a comprehensive and compassionate approach that prioritizes safety, trust, and empowerment.

Theresa McCay Boutross
Marriage and Family Therapist, LCSW, CADC. CMFT
Trauma treatment is a multifaceted approach that requires specialized training to effectively assist individuals in healing from both direct and indirect trauma. Complex trauma, in particular, can be challenging to navigate, often manifesting as difficulties with emotional regulation, relational stability, addiction, and various maladaptive behaviors. With extensive experience in addressing the depths of familial traumas that hinder optimal functioning across multiple life domains, I am dedicated to guiding clients on their path to recovery.
I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a powerful therapeutic technique designed to help individuals process and heal from traumatic experiences. By integrating EMDR into my practice, I provide a unique approach to therapy that facilitates deeper emotional healing and enables clients to confront and reframe their trauma through more effective Neurological based treatment.
By focusing on complex trauma, we create opportunities to rebuild strong foundations for relationships with yourself and others. This process not only promotes emotional healing but also enhances overall functioning and well-being. Together, we will work toward transforming your experiences into a source of strength, empowering you to foster healthier connections and lead a more fulfilling life.

Psychologist, PsyD, MA
I offer comprehensive virtual neuropsychological assessments for individuals experiencing trauma-related symptoms, helping clients across PSYPACT states understand how traumatic experiences have impacted their cognitive and emotional functioning. My trauma and PTSD evaluations examine not only classic symptoms like intrusive memories and hypervigilance but also assess how trauma affects concentration, memory, executive functioning, and emotional regulation—providing crucial insights often missed in standard clinical interviews. With specialized training in neuropsychology and years of experience across various clinical settings, I create thorough assessment reports that validate your experiences, differentiate PTSD from other conditions, and provide clear pathways toward healing through targeted treatment recommendations and practical coping strategies.
