Providing Support For Trauma in Massapequa and Long Island
Healing From Trauma With Compassionate, Comprehensive Care
At New Mind Counseling, we recognize that trauma isn’t just something that happens in the past — it can linger in the present, silently shaping your thoughts, emotions, and relationships. Whether your trauma stems from a single overwhelming experience or a series of painful events over time, its impact can be profound and deeply personal.
You may feel disconnected, anxious, hypervigilant, or stuck in patterns you don’t fully understand — and yet, underneath it all, you may still carry the hope that healing is possible.
We’re here to help you reclaim that hope.
Our mission is to provide a safe, grounded, and compassionate space where you can begin your journey toward healing. You don’t have to face this alone.
A Trauma-Informed Approach to Healing
Trauma affects not just the mind, but also the body and spirit. That’s why our therapy is holistic and individualized — focused not only on managing symptoms, but on helping you reconnect with your sense of safety, autonomy, and self-worth.
Our licensed therapists are trained in leading, evidence-based trauma therapies, including:
-
Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) – to help you process painful memories, challenge distorted beliefs, and develop healthier coping tools.
-
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) – a research-backed approach that enables the brain to reprocess traumatic memories in a safe, structured way.
-
Mindfulness-based and somatic techniques – to help calm the nervous system and bring a sense of presence and control back to your body and mind.
Our goal is not just to reduce trauma-related symptoms, but to support you in rebuilding your life with strength, clarity, and purpose.
Understanding Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder is more than just a reaction to stress — it’s a complex, multi-dimensional condition that can disrupt nearly every aspect of a person’s life. Symptoms often include:
-
Intrusive Memories – Recurrent flashbacks, nightmares, or distressing thoughts that feel inescapable.
-
Avoidance – Steering clear of reminders of the trauma, including places, people, or even thoughts and feelings.
-
Negative Shifts in Mood and Thinking – Persistent feelings of shame, guilt, fear, or detachment; a loss of interest in life; difficulty trusting others.
-
Physical and Emotional Reactivity – Heightened startle response, chronic tension, irritability, trouble sleeping, or emotional numbness.
These symptoms can be exhausting and isolating — but with the right support, they don’t have to be permanent.
The Benefits Of Neurofeedback
In addition to traditional therapy, we offer neurofeedback as part of our trauma treatment program. Neurofeedback is a non-invasive technique that helps regulate brain activity by training your brainwaves to function in healthier patterns. This innovative approach can be particularly beneficial for those who struggle with symptoms like anxiety, hypervigilance, and difficulty concentrating, which are often associated with trauma. By guiding your brain toward more balanced activity, neurofeedback supports the healing process and complements the work you do in therapy.
You Deserve to Heal
Healing from trauma is not about “getting over it” — it’s about moving through it, reclaiming your life one step at a time, and learning how to feel safe and whole again.
At New Mind Counseling, we walk alongside you through every phase of recovery. Whether you’re experiencing the effects of childhood trauma, abuse, combat-related PTSD, medical trauma, or emotional neglect, we are here to help you process, heal, and grow in a way that honors your story.
Your pain is real — and so is your potential for healing.
Let us help you rediscover your strength and build a future defined not by trauma, but by resilience, hope, and peace.
