PTSD & Trauma Therapy in Philadelphia, Bryn Mawr & Online
From surviving to thriving—find relief from trauma
When trauma lingers, it can feel like the past is controlling your present. Through trauma therapy, you can release the pain, break free from survival mode, and rediscover safety in your life.
Does trauma still have a hold on you?
Even after time has passed, trauma can linger—showing up in your body, thoughts, and emotions. You may feel on edge, weighed down by painful memories, or emotionally disconnected from the people and experiences that once brought you joy.
Healing isn’t just about moving on—it’s about reclaiming your sense of safety, connection, and emotional freedom.
You’ve tried to move on, but something still feels stuck.
You’ve talked about it, tried self-care, and leaned on coping strategies, yet the pain lingers. That’s because trauma isn’t just a memory—it’s stored in your nervous system, shaping your thoughts, emotions, and reactions in ways that feel beyond your control.
Even when you try to move on, unresolved trauma continues to impact your relationships, your ability to trust, and your sense of safety in the world. It can make emotional closeness feel risky, keep you stuck in patterns of anxiety or shame, and leave you feeling disconnected from yourself and others.
But healing is possible. Whether your pain stems from abuse, neglect, toxic relationships, or grief, we help you process trauma at its core—so you can finally reclaim your sense of security, connection, and a life that feels whole again.
Our Approach to PTSD & Trauma Therapy
Healing from trauma isn’t just about managing symptoms—it’s about transforming how your mind and body process the past. At Spilove Psychotherapy, we go beyond traditional talk therapy, offering integrative trauma treatment that facilitates deep and lasting change.
Our approach begins with trauma-informed care, helping you build resilience and stabilize your nervous system through skills-based therapies like DBT and mindfulness. When you're ready, we move into trauma resolution—working with EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) to reprocess painful memories, release trauma stored in the body, and heal emotional wounds at their root.
Rather than just coping with trauma, we help you resolve it. By working with your nervous system, we rewire the patterns that keep you stuck in distress, guiding you toward genuine healing. Whether you're carrying the weight of past abuse, neglect, toxic relationships, or grief, our trauma therapy is designed to help you reclaim safety, connection, and the ability to move forward with confidence.

Trauma therapy goes beyond talking about your experiences—it helps reprocess distressing memories so they no longer control your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. At Spilove Psychotherapy, we use trauma resolution techniques such as EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Somatic Therapy to help you heal at the root. Whether you’re dealing with PTSD, childhood trauma, or relational wounds, our approach supports deep healing and lasting change.
-
Trauma-informed therapy focuses on stabilization, helping you build resilience and regulate emotions before diving into deeper healing. It includes DBT, mindfulness, and attachment-based support to create a foundation of safety. Trauma resolution, on the other hand, actively reprocesses and integrates traumatic memories using approaches like EMDR, IFS, and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) so you can break free from the patterns that keep you stuck. Our team offers both, meeting you wherever you are in your healing journey.
-
If you find yourself stuck in patterns of anxiety, dissociation, hypervigilance, or emotional numbness, trauma therapy may help you move forward. You don’t have to wait until you feel “ready”—our trauma specialists will work at your pace, ensuring you have the tools and support needed to feel safe throughout the process. Whether you’re struggling with past abuse, neglect, toxic relationships, or grief, we are here to guide you toward healing.
We help you resolve trauma at its core
Not All Therapy Approaches Are Created Equal
Many traditional therapy models focus on coping strategies, but we take a trauma resolution approach designed to create deep, lasting change.
Our therapists integrate trauma-informed care and trauma resolution to meet you wherever you are in your healing process. We start with stabilization, using DBT, mindfulness, and nervous system regulation techniques to build resilience and a sense of safety. When you're ready, we move into trauma resolution, using methods like EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Somatic Therapy, and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP), Attachment Work, and Inner Child Work to help reprocess distressing memories, release trauma stored in the body, and heal emotional wounds at their root.
Instead of staying stuck in cycles of fear, shame, or survival mode, we help you rewire the patterns that keep you from fully living. Our holistic approach works with your nervous system, mind, body and emotions—guiding you toward genuine healing, emotional freedom, and a renewed sense of self.
How Trauma Therapy works
Trauma therapy is more than just talk therapy—it’s a pathway to deep healing. Instead of only managing symptoms, our trauma-informed and trauma resolution approaches help you process, release, and integrate distressing experiences so they no longer define your present.
Our trauma-trained therapists support you by:
Identifying how trauma has shaped your emotions, thoughts, and nervous system responses
Utilizing proven trauma resolution methods like EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Somatic Therapy to work through painful experiences
Releasing stored trauma from the body, allowing for emotional and physiological relief
Rebuilding a foundation of safety, trust, and self-compassion to support long-term healing
Helping you shape, unshape, and reshape the patterns that have been with you since childhood, allowing you to break free from cycles of self-protection that no longer serve you
By addressing trauma at its source, we help you break free from survival mode and rediscover a sense of stability, clarity, and empowerment.
