I am a contracted psychotherapy provider for Seattle Spine & Sports Medicine. If you are a Seattle Spine & Sports Medicine patient referred to me for psychotherapy, please reach out to me directly:
I integrate Internal Family Systems with EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapies in 60 to 90 minute sessions to help your nervous system cope with the memories and ongoing distress of your injury accident.
Psychotherapy forTrauma from Injury Accidents
Immediately after a vehicle accident, there is almost always an ambulance ride, then emergent treatment for physical wounds. What we don’t expect is the way our lives are sometimes disrupted by ongoing medical issues and lingering emotional distress.
It’s common to experience anxiety, grief, depression, and post-traumatic stress after a traumatic injury accident. It’s normal to feel scared about getting back to normal life. I’m here with you to unpack the mental health symptoms that likely accompany your physical symptoms. I’m here to see you, to witness your pain, and to gently work with you from where you are right now.
Dendrologists—tree scientists—say that, when a tree is injured, it doesn’t just ignore the trauma, but it balances short term protection with a longer journey of change and adaptation. In trauma-informed therapy, this is precisely the process. I work with Dr. Seroussi’s patients to first stabilize your mental health and then move into the longer game of growing and making meaning from your trauma.
