Trauma Therapy in Austin, Texas
Grounded, nervous-system-informed support for healing at your pace.
If your body is still bracing, even when life looks “fine” on the outside, you’re not imagining it.
Trauma doesn’t always come from one obvious event.
Sometimes it comes from what happened over time.
Sometimes from what didn’t happen when you needed it.
At Wild Oak Therapy, we offer trauma therapy that is steady, relational, and deeply respectful of your nervous system. Some of our trauma therapists also integrate EMDR, thoughtfully and at a pace that prioritizes safety and nervous system regulation.
Schedule a free 15-minute consultation and take a calm first step towards support that fits you.
You may be here because:
You feel on edge, shut down, or overwhelmed more easily than you used to
Your body reacts before your mind can catch up
You’re exhausted from “holding it together”
You’ve tried therapy before, but it felt too fast—or too intellectual
An event, loss, medical experience, relationship, or childhood history still feels present
Many people live with trauma symptoms for years without calling it trauma. Nothing is wrong with you. Your nervous system and brain did exactly what it needed to do to adapt and survive.
Wild Oak Approach:
At Wild Oak, we understand trauma as something that lives not just in memory, but in the body, brain, and nervous system.
Our trauma therapy is:
Slow enough to feel safe – we do not rush processing
Relational and attuned – healing happens in connection
Body-aware – we pay attention to signals beyond words
Flexible – therapy adapts to you, not the other way around
We believe effective trauma work should feel grounding, not destabilizing.
What This Looks Like:
Depending on your needs, trauma therapy may involve:
Building safety and regulation before any deep processing
Talking, noticing patterns, or tracking body sensations
Trauma-informed approaches such as EMDR (when appropriate)
Making sense of your experiences with compassion, not judgment
You are always in control of the pace. There is no pressure to relive or re-tell everything.
Who You’ll Work With:
Our trauma therapists share a commitment to therapeutic work that is:
Thoughtful
Grounded
Deeply respectful of individual readiness
Some clinicians integrate EMDR into trauma treatment, while others focus on relational and somatic approaches. We’ll help you find the right match.

“Anything that’s human is mentionable, and anything that is mentionable, can be more manageable. When we can talk about our feelings, they become less overwhelming, less upsetting, and less scary. The people we trust with that important talk can help us know that we are not alone.” --Fred Rogers
