Trauma, PTSD,

and C‑PTSD Therapy in

New York City

Heal in a safe, culturally-compassionate space.

Living in Survival Mode 24/7 is exhausting

You’ve done everything you can to push past the pain, “move on,” stay productive, and convince yourself that it wasn’t a big deal—but what if it was?

Because the truth is,

something still feels “off.”

Maybe you…

  • Constantly feel anxious, on edge, or emotionally overwhelmed

  • Struggle with shame, low self-worth, or feeling like you’re “too much”

  • Find it hard to trust people or maintain relationships you care about

  • Feel disconnected from your body and/or your emotions

  • Experience flashbacks, nightmares, or a sense of numbness

  • Beat yourself up for not “getting over it ” already

Maybe it happened years ago, or maybe you’re not sure if what you went through even “counts” as trauma.

To your nervous system,

it doesn’t matter.

It will carry the weight of what you’re trying to leave behind no matter how heavy or exhausting it is for you.

C-PTSD and Trauma Therapy in NYC

The Common Symptoms of PTSD and Complex Trauma

Many people don’t realize they’re living with unresolved trauma. While there are some differences, there are also overlapping symptoms of PTSD and Complex Trauma (C-PTSD).

If you’re wondering whether trauma therapy is right for you, here are some common signs:

  • Recurring intrusive memories or flashbacks

  • Avoiding reminders of the event(s)

  • Persistent guilt, shame, or worthlessness

  • Feeling emotionally numb or disconnected

  • Hypervigilance or a constant sense of danger

  • Difficulty sleeping, relaxing, or concentrating

  • Relational struggles rooted in distrust, anxiety, or fear

  • A strong inner critic or sense that you’re “broken”

Whether the source of your trauma is from childhood experiences, emotional neglect, identity-based harm, abusive relationships, or cultural/familial expectations,

your pain is valid, and it deserves care.

We specialize in trauma-informed, culturally responsive therapy that honors the full context of who you are—your story, your identities, and your resilience.

you can be fully seen.

We’ve helped many clients struggling with PTSD and C‑PTSD move toward healing.

We’re here to walk that path with you.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

We help you understand how trauma interconnectedly impacts your thoughts, emotions, physical reactions, and behaviors. You would be able to learn ways to better cope with triggers or stress. We’ll also guide you to shift unhelpful thought patterns that keep you stuck, especially those rooted in shame or self-blame.

Mindfulness-Based Therapy

Trauma and complex trauma can leave both the body and the mind carrying heavy imprints of fear, tension, and powerlessness. Mindfulness-based therapy helps calm the “fear network” by guiding your nervous system out of fight-or-flight mode and into a state of safety and relaxation. At Resonance, we can help you learn how to condition your body to feel calmer, more centered, and less ruled by anxiety or hypervigilance. 

Narrative Therapy

Narrative therapy supports you in reshaping the story you tell yourself about your life. Instead of being defined by past experiences of harm or helplessness, we’ll guide you to rewrite your story in ways that honor your resilience, highlight your strengths, and reflect your authentic self. Together, these approaches help to restore a sense of safety while empowering you to create a new, healing narrative that is more balanced and deeply your own.

Relational Cultural Therapy

This approach recognizes that healing happens in relational contexts and through authentic connections. Since trauma can impact the way you relate to others, we focus on identifying unhelpful reactions and relational patterns you’ve learned via experiences of past traumas. With guided professional support, you can learn to build more fulfilling, authentic relationships with yourself, friends, and loved ones.

Trauma-Informed Multicultural Therapy

We honor your cultural background, systemic context, and lived experiences. Based on our identities, you may have been subtly or overtly exposed to slights, put-downs, and traumas. Your identities aren’t afterthoughts at Resonance; they’re central to our work. 

Psychodynamic and Attachment-Based Therapy

We explore how early childhood relationships and past experiences influence your current emotional and relational world. We help you uncover unhelpful relationship patterns, increase self-insight, co-create new interpersonal effectiveness, and heal at the root.
