Healing from Trauma with Telehealth Therapy in West Virginia

Trauma leaves invisible wounds that can shape the way we see ourselves, others, and the world around us. Whether it stems from childhood experiences like neglect, emotional abuse, or abandonment—or from adult events such as betrayal, loss, or violence—trauma affects the nervous system, relationships, and overall well-being. The good news? Healing is possible. And now, more than ever, trauma recovery therapy is accessible from the comfort and privacy of your own home.

What is Trauma?

Trauma is not just what happened to you—it’s what happened inside of you as a result. It’s the overwhelm that occurs when something threatens your sense of safety, and your body or brain doesn’t have the support or capacity to fully process it.

Common sources of trauma include:

1. Childhood emotional, physical, or sexual abuse
2. Emotional neglect or abandonment
3. Growing up with a parent who struggled with addiction or mental illness
4. Domestic violence or controlling relationships
5. Medical trauma or accidents
6. Betrayal, bullying, or spiritual trauma
7. Sudden loss, natural disasters, or other overwhelming events

Even if your experiences don’t “seem that bad” to others, your nervous system might still be carrying the imprint.

Warning Signs You Might Benefit from Trauma Therapy
Not all trauma looks like PTSD. You might not even realize you’re living in survival mode until you start healing. Here are some signs that unresolved trauma may be affecting you:

1. Feeling emotionally numb, disconnected, or “shut down”
2. High sensitivity or overreactions to stress or criticism
3. People-pleasing or trouble setting boundaries
4. Chronic anxiety, freeze responses, or hypervigilance
5. Shame or self-blame that feels hard to shake
6. Difficulty trusting others or maintaining relationships
7. Nightmares, flashbacks, or intrusive thoughts
8. Body pain, IBS, headaches, or chronic fatigue with no clear medical cause

If any of this resonates, trauma-informed therapy could help you begin to feel safe, empowered, and whole again.

Why Telehealth Therapy Works for Trauma Recovery
As a licensed trauma therapist offering telehealth therapy in West Virginia, I’ve witnessed how powerful virtual sessions can be for trauma healing. Here’s why teletherapy may be the right fit for you:

🏡 Safe space: You don’t have to leave your home—ideal for nervous system regulation and for those who experience social anxiety, triggers in public spaces, or difficulty driving.

📅 Flexible scheduling: More ease and consistency for clients with busy lives, caregiving duties, or unpredictable work shifts.

💻 Privacy and comfort: No waiting rooms, no awkward small talk—just focused, compassionate support in a setting that feels safe to you.

💞 Therapy that fits your life: Whether you’re in Morgantown, Charleston, Huntington, or rural areas of WV—teletherapy bridges the gap to high-quality trauma therapy where local options may be limited.

My Approach to Trauma Therapy
I specialize in somatic trauma therapy, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), and inner child healing. These evidence-based methods don’t just help you talk about trauma—they support your nervous system in releasing it.

My approach is:

1. Somatic, non-judgemental, compassionate and empowering
2. Rooted in nervous system regulation
3. Focused on helping you feel more embodied, clear, and self-love
4. Customized for complex trauma, dissociation, and childhood neglect
