Trauma & EMDR Therapy
in Morgantown, WV & Telehealth across WV
Trauma is not only about what happened, but how the experience continues to live in the body and mind. Overwhelming, stressful, or painful events can shape how you think, feel, and relate to others long after they are over.
​
Many adults live with the effects of trauma quietly, often functioning on the outside while feeling on edge, emotionally exhausted, or disconnected on the inside.
​
At In Tune Counseling, trauma treatment and EMDR therapy are advanced clinical specialties and a core part of our work with adults.
How Trauma Can Impact Daily Life
Trauma may affect:
-
Emotional regulation and mood​
-
Anxiety, hypervigilance, and stress responses
-
Relationships and trust
-
Concentration and memory
-
Sleep and physical well-being
-
Self-esteem and sense of safety
​
These patterns are not weaknesses; they are the nervous system's learned responses to overwhelming experiences.
Our Therapeutic Approach
We integrate:
​
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
EMDR is an evidence-based trauma treatment that helps the brain reprocess distressing memories so they are no longer experienced as emotionally overwhelming. Through guided bilateral stimulation, clients are able to reduce the emotional intensity of past experiences and develop more adaptive beliefs.
​
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
To support emotional understanding, coping strategies, and cognitive flexibility
​​
Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT)
IPT focuses on how life events, role transitions, and relationship patterns impact emotional well-being. This approach helps clients strengthen communication, navigate relationship stress, process loss, and build healthier connection patterns, which is especially important when trauma has affected trust, identity, and interpersonal safety.
​
Strengths-Based & Nervous System Informed Care
Our work emphasized emotional regulation, resilience, and body-based awareness to support long-term stability and healing.
​
Holistic Integration
We incorporate education around the connection between mental health, nutrition, sleep, and overall wellness when appropriate, recognizing the role these factors play in trauma recovery.
​
Our goal is not only symptom relief, but lasting emotional stability, confidence, and self-trust.
