You're exhausted from trying to manage it all
Lost
Alone
Dread
You know, logically, the past is in the past, but your mind, body, and emotions seem to be re-living things, as if they are happening now.
At times, you feel flooded with anxiety and dread and have a hard time focusing and being present in your life.
With all the unease running in the background, you're having a hard time enjoying the things that once brought you pleasure. You just want to feel normal again. Does it feel like the trauma will never end?
It was agony to live through the trauma, but it’s torturous to know that it still has its hooks in you. At times you feel broken like you’ll never heal from it all. It’s wearing you down. You’re overwhelmed. When you see other people enjoying their lives, you feel so lost and alone.
You’re ready for Trauma Therapy.
At Mindful Living Counseling Orlando, we will help you feel settled and find peace again.
We help clients work through traumatic and stressful events so that they can put the past behind them. You don’t have to feel overwhelmed and alone anymore.
At Mindful Living Counseling Orlando, we use cutting-edge trauma therapies EMDR and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy. These therapies go beyond talking to help you feel in control and confident again. These mind-body approaches allow you to feel calm in your skin again.
How We Work With Trauma
We use a phased approach to trauma therapy, so you never have to face the hardest parts before your nervous system is ready. In stabilization, we get to know your nervous system and build tools to regulate it, using grounding, mindfulness, and ACT and DBT skills. In processing, we work at the root level with EMDR, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to heal how the trauma is stored in your brain and body. In integration, you bring this new way of being into your life, so you can do the things you once avoided with ease and start to trust yourself again.

Why Mindful Living Counseling Orlando Goes Beyond Talk Therapy
Lauran Hahn, LMHC, Founder
Before I ever became a therapist, I was in therapy for my own trauma. For a long time, I talked about the things that had happened to me, but it wasn't helping. Talking never reached the places where my brain was still holding on to aspects of the trauma. When I finally found a therapist who worked with the body, I started to feel relief. That's when I learned that trauma doesn't live only in our memories. It lives in our bodies, our senses, and our emotions, and words alone can't reach it.
So when I became a therapist, I knew my training had to include ways of working with how trauma is stored in the brain and body. I became a Certified EMDR Therapist and EMDRIA Approved Consultant, a Certified Sensorimotor Psychotherapist, and a Florida Qualified Supervisor (Florida License #MH15246).
That's why I founded Mindful Living Counseling Orlando in 2017: to offer trauma therapy that works with the brain and body, not just the story. I train and supervise every therapist on our team in this phased approach, so whoever you work with, your care is built on the same foundation. For people who want to do focused trauma work in a shorter time, I also offer EMDR Intensives. Since opening, we've helped more than 1,000 clients heal.
Trauma Therapy FAQ
-
The therapies with the strongest research support for trauma are trauma-focused therapies, and EMDR is one of them. It's one of the treatments the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs strongly recommends for PTSD. In our experience, EMDR combined with a somatic therapy like Sensorimotor Psychotherapy works best, because together they reach the places where trauma lives on: our brains, our bodies, our reactions, and our thought processes.
-
It's individualized. The length of trauma therapy depends on the complexity of your trauma history and on how much safety, support, and community you have in your life right now. If you're under a lot of stress, we slow things down so the work stays manageable. Meeting at least weekly, or doing an EMDR Intensive, keeps the work moving, since sessions spread further apart lose momentum. For someone with a complex trauma history, it can take longer.
-
Most people can benefit from EMDR, but not everyone is ready to start processing right away. EMDR has eight phases, and anyone can begin with the first two, history-taking and preparation, which focus on getting to know you and building tools. We hold off on processing, or use a modified approach, for people who are highly dissociative, are experiencing psychosis or another severe mental health condition, or are in a highly stressful situation. Even a stressful season isn't automatically a no, since there are specialized EMDR protocols that allow processing to move forward. That's why a skilled EMDR therapist screens carefully before processing begins.
-
In my experience, the hardest trauma to heal from is complex trauma, especially when the abuse came from a family member, someone we were supposed to be able to trust. With complex trauma, there's trauma to the body and trauma to the attachment system, and each is treated differently. That's why trauma therapy can take longer: we're healing both what happened to the body and what happened to the attachment system.
-
Yes. Healing from complex PTSD often takes longer, but it is possible. As people move through trauma therapy, they begin to do the things they once avoided with ease, and there's a real freedom in going through life without carrying the heaviness of the trauma. Many people move from a disempowered place to an empowered one. They start to see themselves in a neutral to positive light and recognize the resilience that carried them through, which they couldn't see before.
-
At Mindful Living Counseling Orlando, trauma therapy costs $150–$180 per 50-minute session, depending on your therapist. We're out-of-network providers, so we can check your out-of-network benefits and give you a superbill to submit to your insurance for reimbursement. If you're not sure what your plan covers, we're happy to look into it with you during your free 15-minute consultation.
