Trauma Therapy at Galia Collaborative
Compassionate, evidence-based support for healing what’s been carried for far too long.
Trauma can shape how you feel, how you relate to others, and how you move through the world. Whether your experience was a single overwhelming event or a long history of emotional hurt, it can leave you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure how to trust your own reactions.
You may not even use the word trauma—you might just know that something from your past still affects your present.
At Galia, we offer specialized trauma therapy that helps you process what you’ve been carrying and move toward steadiness, clarity, and real healing.
Our Approach to Trauma Therapy
Healing from trauma isn’t one-size-fits-all. Our clinicians use a combination of evidence-based trauma modalities, tailored to your story and your goals.
EMDR Therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
We offer EMDR therapy, one of the most researched and effective treatments for trauma. EMDR helps your brain reprocess painful experiences that feel “stuck,” reducing emotional intensity and building new, healthier associations.
Many clients choose Galia specifically for EMDR therapy, and it’s one of the core tools we use in trauma recovery.

Internal Family Systems (IFS)
IFS helps you understand the different “parts” of yourself—your protector parts, your wounded parts, and the parts that are exhausted from carrying old roles. It’s gentle, powerful, and especially effective for developmental and relational trauma.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
ACT helps you build psychological flexibility, reduce avoidance, and develop skills for moving through trauma responses with compassion and clarity.
DBT-Informed Approaches
Trauma often leaves the nervous system overwhelmed. DBT tools help with emotional regulation, grounding, and creating more stability during the healing process.
Psychiatric Care
For those who could benefit, we offer thoughtful, collaborative medication support when symptoms like anxiety, panic, depression, or sleep difficulties are keeping you from feeling grounded enough to heal.
Integrative Approaches, Including Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP)
For some clients, traditional talk therapy or EMDR alone isn’t enough to loosen long-held patterns rooted in trauma. In select cases, Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) can help create the openness, neuroplasticity, and emotional flexibility needed for deeper healing.

Nutrition Support
For those whose trauma has shaped their relationship with food or their body, our nutrition providers offer trauma-informed care that focuses on nourishment, stability, and compassion.
