Complex Trauma
Complex trauma refers to the profound and often pervasive impact of prolonged, repeated, and interpersonal trauma, usually experienced during childhood or adolescence. Unlike a single traumatic event, complex trauma arises from ongoing or multiple traumatic experiences, such as chronic abuse, neglect, abandonment, or exposure to violence, often within relationships where the victim is dependent on the perpetrator.
The cumulative nature of these experiences can deeply affect an individual’s development, sense of self, relationships, and ability to regulate emotions. It can lead to a wide range of challenges, including difficulty with emotional regulation, distorted self-perception, relationship difficulties, dissociation, and chronic feelings of emptiness or hopelessness.
There are 6 Types of Trauma. We treat all of them.
Trauma can manifest in various forms, each with its own unique characteristics and impacts. Understanding these different types can help in identifying and addressing the specific needs of individuals seeking support.

Integrative Therapeutic Modalities
We utilize a combination of powerful and evidence-based techniques to facilitate deep and lasting healing:
Our therapeutic approach is designed to provide comprehensive and compassionate care, tailored to the intricate nature of traumatic experiences. We integrate cutting-edge therapeutic modalities to help you navigate your healing journey effectively.
This approach helps individuals develop psychological flexibility, allowing them to accept difficult thoughts and feelings related to trauma while committing to actions aligned with their values. It focuses on reducing the impact of past trauma on present-day functioning and building a meaningful life.
Our therapy integrates powerful somatic techniques, drawing from both Somatic Experiencing (SE) and Polyvagal Theory when appropriate. These somatic therapy techniques recognize that trauma is stored not just in the mind but also in the body. By gently guiding you to notice and process bodily sensations, these somatic healing techniques help to regulate the nervous system, release stored tension, and promote a sense of safety and calm from within.
Trauma Treatment Programs
Mind Above Matter provides comprehensive trauma treatment services designed to support adults and adolescents on their journey to mental wellness. We understand that managing mental health while maintaining daily responsibilities can be challenging. Our outpatient programs offer a flexible and effective alternative to inpatient treatment, allowing individuals to receive the care they need while continuing to attend school, work, and engage in their daily lives.
Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)
Our Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) provides a structured, intensive level of outpatient care. PHP is designed for individuals who require more support than traditional outpatient therapy but do not need 24-hour hospitalization. It involves full-day treatment sessions several days per week.
Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
Our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) offers a less intensive level of care than PHP, while still providing focused and structured treatment. IOP typically involves several-hour treatment sessions, several days per week.
