Trauma Therapy In Richmond, VA
Helping trauma survivors get into the driver’s seat of their life.
Trauma is often misdiagnosed as depression, anxiety, ADHD, or bipolar disorder.
This can lead to years of therapy that only addresses how to cope with symptoms. Real change for PTSD, Complex PTSD, attachment / developmental trauma, and relational trauma require more than the band-aid of traditional therapy - it involves going into the depths of the non-verbal brain to reprocess what cannot be put into words.​​​
​Trauma is not stored in the brain with words, so therefore it cannot be healed with words alone.
Our whole-brain approach to trauma therapy gets to the birthplace of trauma symptoms. Using Somatic Therapy, EMDR, Psychodrama, and Art Therapy, we can rewire the brain so that anxiety, depression, and dissociation can be resolved.
​​We facilitate our therapy sessions in an intensive therapy format – starting at 90 minutes – allowing us to perform delicate emotional surgery without the confines of the traditional 50-minute therapy model. ​
Years worth of therapy in a fraction of the time.
Our Virginia Therapists
Our team of therapists in Richmond and Henrico brings together a diverse range of specialties and experiences, including LCSW, MPS, ATR-BC, Certified Life Coach, and more. What unites us is our shared belief in a whole-body approach to trauma recovery. Whether through EMDR, art therapy, somatic experiencing, or a tailored combination of these and other modalities, we have witnessed firsthand the transformative power of an integrative path to healing.
At Seeking Depth To Recovery, we practice Experiential Therapy.
What is "Experiential Therapy?"
To become a skilled swimmer, you wouldn't talk to a swim coach about what it's like to drown - you'd put your body in the water to get a feel for what it's like to safely float, tread, and swim. Think of traditional talk therapy as a conversation about how scary drowning is. These "talks" validate real concerns, but don't actually train the body to take action to safely navigate being in the water.
Whereas an Experiential Therapy Intensive is actual swim practice - where your muscles develop the memory they need to independently engage in behavior that not only allows you to survive being in water, but to also enjoy the experience. ​
​​Experiential Therapy is a faster, more effective therapy for emotional trauma.

Saves Money
With our cutting edge training, we can shave off years of therapy - saving you both time and money.
Permanent Results
Not only do we help you heal faster than other trauma therapy approaches, but the results are everlasting.
Here's how we're different.
​​​​Seeking Depth to Recovery provides trauma therapy that uproots the source of trauma symptoms, so that you can live as good as symptom free, in less than half the time as traditional talk therapy.
Our clients come to us after years of circling the therapeutic drain. They're exhausted and feel too broken down from their symptoms of anxiety, depression, compulsive behavior, etc for therapy to work. This is because their treatment only addressed 20% of the brain - and not even the part where trauma echoes reside.
Our trauma treatment specialists address 100%. By using clinically-proven superior modalities like EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and somatic therapies within an intensive format, we rebalance the responses of the nervous system. Once rebalanced, trauma symptoms are resolved, rather than coped with.
If traditional therapy hasn't worked and you're ready to build a loving relationship with yourself, gain control over your life, and connect to purpose and inspiration, then it's time to invest in your trauma recovery.
