Trauma Counseling in Bend, Oregon
People often reach out to us because they have experienced a traumatic event or identify certain periods of time, such as their childhood or a relationship, as traumatic. Sometimes, this can be getting in a car accident or witnessing a death or other scary event, but a lot of the time, trauma simply means dealing with a really upsetting experience. Illness can be traumatic, such as cancer or managing a chronic health condition. Loss and death of a pet or loved one are traumas. Often, people experience trauma from a bad relationship, from negative social dynamics or even from working in a toxic workplace culture where there is yelling, extreme competition, or general unkindness.
All therapists at Drishti Mental Health have advanced certification in working with trauma, and all staff are trained in either Brainspotting, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), or both. Many are also trained in trauma-informed methods of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. When you reach out to Drishti, our goal is to make you feel comfortable and safe and support you in working through your experiences.

What does Trauma Counseling Entail?
Counseling for trauma may look a lot like counseling for other symptoms. Ultimately, for whatever reason you come to counseling, your therapist at Drishti will support you in creating a safe environment where you can get the support you need. A lot of times, Drishti therapists will use a specialized intervention for trauma called Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to clear out negative beliefs a person has surrounding traumatic events. You can find out more about EMDR by clicking the following link: EMDR Therapy. EMDR is a safe and proven intervention for treating trauma which has been used effectively for almost 40 years.
