Searching for a trauma therapist near you can turn up long lists and few real specialists. Online therapy widens your options to anyone licensed in your state, which means you can choose for fit and training, not just distance.
Licensing matters
Therapists can only see clients who are physically located in a state where they hold a license during the session. I'm licensed to provide online therapy to adults in Florida, Rhode Island, Maine, Connecticut, Maryland and South Carolina, so whether you're in Miami, Providence, Portland, Hartford, Baltimore or Charleston, we can work together.
What to look for in a trauma therapist
- Specific training in approaches like EMDR, somatic therapy and parts work.
- Experience with complex trauma and attachment wounds, not only single events.
- Attention to pacing. Good trauma work builds stability before going into painful memories.
- A good feeling on the first call. Safety in the relationship is part of the treatment.
Does trauma therapy work online?
Yes. EMDR can use on-screen or tapping-based bilateral stimulation, and somatic work often benefits from being in your own familiar space. Many clients find it easier to open up from home.
Private pay and superbills
My practice is private pay. If your plan includes out-of-network benefits, I can provide a superbill you can submit for possible reimbursement.
