Therapy to help process and move forward from past experiences.
Unresolved trauma has a way of slipping into your day-to-day life. Your body reacts before your mind can catch up. A sudden jolt of tension, shift in mood, or sense of disconnect makes it hard to engage. You might be outwardly functioning, but inside it feels as if you are carrying too much.
Trauma does not always stay in the past. For many, it shows up in sudden body sensations, emotional shifts, or a sense of being pulled out of the present moment without a warning. You may feel tension, unease, or like you’re on high alert when nothing is actively wrong.
These responses can be confusing and exhausting, especially if you have worked hard to cope. At True North Healing Center, we understand that these reactions are not flaws or failures. They are signals from a nervous system shaped by experience. EMDR therapy helps you slow down, understand what has happened, and create a space to move forward.
With the right support, the moments where you feel pulled out of the present can begin to slow down.
Trauma therapy focuses on how past experiences continue to affect the body, emotions, and nervous system in your daily life. Our experienced therapists work at a pace that prioritizes safety and choice with the goal of helping you move out of survival mode and into greater stability.
EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) is a trauma therapy approach that helps the brain process experiences that feel stuck or unresolved. During EMDR, your therapist supports you in processing memories, sensations, and emotions.
The focus is not on reliving the trauma, but helping your system respond differently to the past experience.
For some people, weekly sessions do not provide enough space to work through complex or long-standing trauma. EMDR intensives offer extended session time, allowing you to stay with the work more fully without stopping and restarting each week.
True North Healing Center was built for people whose nervous systems have been shaped by trauma in ways that affect daily life. Many of the individuals who come to us are dealing with reactions that take over fast, patterns they can’t break, or a weight they’ve been carrying for years. Our work is focused, trauma-specialized, and grounded in what your system needs in order to move through what it has been avoiding.
We work with those from all backgrounds, including veterans and first responders, and offer EMDR, intensive trauma work, KAP, walk-and-talk therapy, and end-of-life doula services. This is a place where your reactions make sense, and where you can begin the work with steadiness and support.
We work with adults, teens, and kids across New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and Maine, including veterans and first responders. Many people who come to us are navigating trauma, PTSD, chronic stress, or reactions that have become hard to manage on their own.
Both. We offer in-person sessions in Manchester and Bedford, NH.
Our virtual appointments are available for clients anywhere in New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and Maine.
We accept BCBS NH, Anthem, Cigna, Harvard Pilgrim, Optum, United, UMR, HPI, VA Community Care, Aetna, and Wellpoint.
Insurance is not accepted for ketamine-assisted psychotherapy or end-of-life doula services.
Intake sessions are $200. Ongoing sessions are $155.
When trauma keeps pulling you into reactions you didn’t choose, EMDR therapy creates space to understand what you’ve been holding. With the right work, the grip these patterns have on your body can begin to ease, and relief becomes something you can actually reach.
