Understanding
Trauma and Abuse in Children and Teens

Trauma and abuse, whether emotional, physical, or otherwise, can deeply impact the developing minds and hearts of children and teens. These experiences often lead to intense feelings of fear, betrayal, and helplessness. Healing from such trauma is a deeply personal journey, requiring a compassionate and understanding approach that recognizes the unique challenges and needs of young individuals.

Our
Therapeutic Approach for Young Clients

At Ezra Counseling, our therapists are not only compassionate but also highly skilled in employing evidence-based practices specifically tailored for children and teens recovering from trauma and abuse. Our approach includes:

  1. Creating a secure and empathetic space where young clients feel genuinely heard, understood, and respected.
  2. Encouraging a collaborative relationship between therapist and young client, fostering trust and a strong therapeutic alliance.
  3. Developing individualized treatment plans that are specifically designed to address the unique experiences and goals of each child or teen. This includes a thorough assessment of their needs and a flexible, evolving plan that adapts to their healing journey.
  4. Implementing specialized therapeutic techniques such as Somatic Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Emotionally Focused Therapy, adapted for children and teens. These approaches are particularly effective in addressing the physical and emotional manifestations of trauma and abuse, helping young clients to process their experiences and develop healthy coping strategies.
  5. Guiding young clients towards a path of healing, empowerment, and personal growth, focusing on building resilience and reclaiming a sense of self after the trauma of abuse.

Ezra was beyond helpful in so many ways. She is patient and knows how to approach all challenging subjects. I always left our sessions with a clear head and a huge relief that someone understood the issues I was struggling with. I am forever grateful.

Meeting with my therapist at Ezra Counseling has helped me regain a sense of wholeness and reconnection with my body and emotional experience. It was easy for me to be detached from my own experiences inside, and during my time meeting with my therapist, I have been able to practice connecting with myself more fully and learn to make decisions that honor my own needs and humanity. I have experienced a lot of healing through this work, and I highly recommend this compassionate and knowledgable team of therapists.

I have been seeing a counselor at Ezra for over a year and it has been life changing. I've seen other counselors before but the help I've received here has had dramatic effect on my life in a way other counselors have not been able to help me before. The faith based yoga has also helped me bridge the gap between my mind and body in a real and concrete way. I have always been hesitant about yoga because of its eastern spiritual roots, but this faith-based yoga was great! The instructor chooses a scripture passage and continuously references back to it throughout the session. She continued to talk about how God designed our body throughout and it was very beneficial. The names of the poses have also been changed from their original names which also made me feel more comfortable. I had never attended something like that before and was nervous about being able to do any of it because I am not physically fit, but it was a good experience. I also felt very free in this space to only do what I was comfortable with. They provide mats and blocks so all you have to do is sign up on their website and then show up (stretchy pants recommended 😊).
