OUR METHODS
Trauma-Informed Care
At Paz Mental Health, we recognize the deep impact that trauma can have on a person's mental, emotional, and physical well-being. Trauma-Informed Care is an approach that prioritizes safety, compassion, and understanding, ensuring that all therapy is sensitive to the unique experiences of those who have been through trauma. This method provides a safe space for clients to process their past experiences and move toward healing at their own pace.
Creating a Safe and Supportive Environment
A core principle of Trauma-informed care is creating an environment where patients feel safe and supported. We understand that trauma can make it difficult to trust others or feel secure, especially in new environments. Our therapists take care to establish a relationship based on respect and empathy, ensuring that patients never feel pressured or overwhelmed during their sessions.
Empowering Patients Through Choice
Trauma-informed care emphasizes the importance of client autonomy. Rather than following a one-size-fits-all approach, therapy is tailored to the individual’s needs, with clients playing an active role in their healing process. By offering choices and honoring each client's personal boundaries, we help empower those who may have felt powerless in past traumatic situations.
​
Trauma can manifest in many ways, including anxiety, depression, flashbacks, or difficulties in relationships. By understanding the widespread impact that trauma has on a person’s life, our therapists are equipped to address both the emotional and physiological symptoms that arise. Therapy aims to not only reduce distress but also help clients rebuild a sense of control and well-being.

Building Resilience and Moving Forward
Healing from trauma is a process that takes time, but it’s possible to rebuild a life of stability and joy. Through Trauma-informed care, clients are given the tools to develop resilience and regain control over their lives. Therapy focuses on teaching coping strategies, emotional regulation, and self-compassion, allowing clients to move forward with confidence and strength.
If you’ve experienced trauma and are looking for a compassionate, supportive environment to begin your healing journey, Trauma-informed care at Paz Mental Health is here to help.
