Understanding, Compassion, Recovery
Trauma can profoundly affect the mind, body, and spirit, leaving lasting impressions that may influence how we think, feel, and interact with the world around us. At Pure-Ivy Health Care, we recognize the courage it takes to seek help for trauma-related challenges. Under the compassionate guidance of Dr. Wunmi Sokan, DNP, and our dedicated team, we are committed to providing a safe, nurturing environment where healing begins and resilience is built.
Recognizing Trauma
Trauma can stem from a single event, prolonged exposure to stress, or complex interpersonal relationships, impacting individuals differently. Symptoms of trauma can include intense emotional distress, intrusive thoughts, avoidance behaviors, and physical manifestations like increased heart rate or insomnia. Our first step is to acknowledge these experiences and symptoms without judgment, creating a foundation for healing.
Our Holistic Approach to Trauma Recovery
Personalized Evaluation: Understanding your unique experience of trauma is crucial. Our comprehensive assessment process allows us to tailor a treatment plan that addresses your specific needs, histories, and strengths.
Trauma-Informed Therapy: We utilize trauma-informed therapeutic approaches, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and somatic experiencing, to help process trauma in a safe and controlled environment. These therapies are designed to alleviate the distressing symptoms of trauma and empower individuals with effective coping strategies.
Medication Management: When appropriate, medication can be a valuable tool in managing symptoms associated with trauma, such as anxiety or depression. Our expert team ensures that any prescribed medication is integrated into your overall treatment plan with care and consideration, monitoring progress and adjusting as necessary.
Supportive Community: Healing from trauma is not a journey that should be undertaken alone. We encourage the building of a supportive network, including group therapy, where individuals can share experiences and strategies in a safe and understanding space.
Empowerment Through Education: Educating individuals about trauma and its effects can demystify symptoms and reactions, reducing feelings of isolation or confusion. Our approach includes providing resources and information to help you and your loved ones understand the complexities of trauma.
