Trauma Therapy in Cincinnati for Women Ready to Heal

A trauma therapist in Cincinnati helps you process overwhelming experiences so symptoms like anxiety, panic, people-pleasing, and emotional numbness begin to lift. I use EMDR, IFS (Internal Family Systems), EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques), CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), and Somatic therapy to calm your nervous system, resolve triggers, and rebuild self-trust. Sessions are designed for women who want practical tools and lasting healing—not just coping.

Your first session focuses on your story, your goals, and what feels hardest right now. I’ll explain how EMDR, IFS, EFT, CBT, and Somatic therapy work, answer questions, and map out next steps. You’ll leave with at least one practical tool for grounding or calming your nervous system.

Yes. I provide EMDR therapy in Cincinnati to reduce the emotional charge around traumatic memories. EMDR often accelerates healing when talk therapy hasn’t been enough. I frequently integrate EMDR with IFS, EFT, CBT, and Somatic work so healing happens on both mind and body levels.

I am a private-pay provider, which allows for more flexibility and privacy. If you want to use your insurance, I can provide a superbill you may submit for possible reimbursement. Rates and options can be discussed in a free consultation.

If you’re experiencing panic, racing thoughts, or dread about “what-ifs,” anxiety therapy (often using CBT and EFT) can help. If you feel triggered by reminders of past events, struggle with boundaries, or feel stuck in survival mode, trauma therapy (using EMDR, IFS, and Somatic approaches) may be a better fit. Many women benefit from a blend, which we clarify in your first session.

I serve clients in Cincinnati, Mason, Blue Ash, Hyde Park, Oakley, Mt. Lookout, and Northern Kentucky, as well as through online therapy across Ohio.

Absolutely. Many women I work with are recovering from narcissistic abuse, people-pleasing, or codependency. We’ll use tools like IFS to heal inner parts, CBT to shift self-blame, EFT to calm triggers, and Somatic work to restore body safety. Together, we’ll rebuild your confidence, boundaries, and sense of self.

• EMDR helps reprocess stuck memories so triggers lose their power.
• IFS brings compassion to your inner “parts” (like the pleaser or protector).
• EFT (Tapping) reduces stress by calming the body’s energy system.
• CBT shifts unhelpful thought patterns that fuel anxiety and low self-worth.
• Somatic therapy teaches the body to release tension and feel safe again.
  Together, these therapies address trauma and anxiety at every level—mind, body, and nervous system.

Yes—secure online therapy for Ohio residents is available for clients who prefer telehealth or live outside Cincinnati. Virtual sessions integrate the same evidence-based methods: EMDR, IFS, EFT, CBT, and Somatic therapy.

If past therapy felt like “insight without change,” an integrated, trauma-informed approach makes the difference. By blending EMDR, IFS, EFT, CBT, and Somatic tools, we go beyond talk therapy so shifts happen in your thoughts, emotions, and body.

Every woman’s journey is unique, but many notice relief within 6–12 sessions. Short-term anxiety may respond quickly with CBT and EFT, while complex trauma or long-term people-pleasing may need deeper work with EMDR, IFS, and Somatic approaches. We’ll create a clear plan with milestones, so progress feels tangible.

You can book a free 15-minute consultation to talk about your goals, ask questions, and see if we’re a good fit. If so, we’ll schedule your first session and begin using the right mix of EMDR, IFS, EFT, CBT, and Somatic therapy to help you heal.
