Understanding Trauma

Trauma is a deeply distressing experience that can have lasting effects on an individual’s mental, emotional, and physical well-being. It can stem from various sources, including accidents, abuse, loss, or significant life changes. At Fox Oak Counseling, we recognize that trauma is not just an event but a complex experience that shapes how you perceive the world and interact with others.

Our Approach to Trauma Counseling

Jamie Thomas, LCSW, is dedicated to providing a safe and supportive environment for individuals navigating the aftermath of trauma. With a background in hospice care and community mental health, Jamie understands the profound impact trauma can have on one’s life. She integrates evidence-based approaches, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), to help the brain and body process and heal from overwhelming experiences. She believes in the resilience of the human spirit and is committed to helping you reclaim your narrative.

In trauma counseling sessions, Jamie takes a collaborative approach, acting as your copilot on the journey toward healing. You’ll have space to share your experiences at your own pace, while also engaging in structured, research-supported methods like EMDR when appropriate. Jamie provides thoughtful guidance, validation, and tailored interventions that align with your goals, helping you move from simply coping to truly healing.

What to Expect in Your First Session

During your initial session at Fox Oak Counseling, you’ll have the opportunity to share your experiences and how trauma has been affecting your life. Jamie creates a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where you can express your thoughts and emotions at your own pace. Together, you’ll begin to explore the impact of trauma on your relationships, self-esteem, and day-to-day functioning.

Jamie will also introduce you to therapy options that may support your healing. These can include approaches like EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), along with mindfulness practices and cognitive-behavioral strategies. Your first session is about getting to know you—not diving into anything overwhelming—so you can feel informed, supported, and in control of the process moving forward.
