Trauma therapy for New York clients. Trained, specialized, and delivered from home.
New York has no shortage of therapists who describe themselves as trauma-informed. It has far fewer who hold actual certifications in EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, or Sensorimotor Psychotherapy and the supervised clinical hours that go with them.
Turn the Mind is a specialized trauma and DBT practice based just outside New York City, in Glen Rock, NJ. We provide body-based trauma treatment to clients throughout New York via secure telehealth, including New York City, Long Island, Westchester, the Hudson Valley, and Rockland County.
Schedule a free consultationAwareness is a baseline. Treatment is a different thing.
Trauma-informed care means a therapist is aware that trauma exists and tries not to retraumatize you. That is a baseline. It is not a treatment approach.
Effective trauma treatment requires specific methods, ways of working with the nervous system, not just the narrative. Trauma changes the way your brain and body respond to the world. The flashbacks, the hypervigilance, the numbness, the reactions that feel bigger than the moment, these are signs of a system that got stuck mid-process, not a character flaw.
Evidence-based body-based approaches, chosen for where you are.
Every person's path through trauma is different. We offer three primary somatic treatment approaches, and our clinicians work with you to identify the right starting point and the right combination for where you are.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing
For resolving specific traumatic memories, phobias, and PTSD symptoms. EMDR uses bilateral stimulation to help the brain reprocess stuck memories so they lose their emotional charge. One of the most extensively researched trauma treatments available, recommended by the WHO, APA, and VA. EMDR has been formally studied and validated for telehealth delivery.
Learn about EMDRSomatic Experiencing
For when trauma lives in the body rather than in a story you can tell. Chronic tension, physical shutdown, dissociation, or the sense that you have talked about it endlessly without it moving. Somatic Experiencing works with the body's own impulses toward completion, releasing what got stuck at the level of the nervous system.
Learn about SESensorimotor Psychotherapy
For clients who feel stuck in their healing despite real effort and genuine insight. Sensorimotor Psychotherapy addresses the physical symptoms of trauma: hypervigilance, intrusive body sensations, numbness, the body bracing for impact that never comes. It bridges talking with attention to what the body itself is doing.

Sessions run via secure video. We work with you at the start of treatment to set up your space, establish grounding resources, and make sure the virtual format is working well before we go anywhere that requires it. The pace is always set by your nervous system.

For New York clients who prefer in-person sessions, our Glen Rock, NJ office is accessible from Rockland County, the Lower Hudson Valley, and the northern NYC metro area. We are also licensed in PSYPACT states, so NY clients can continue working with us when traveling or temporarily out of state.
Teens and adults throughout New York.
If you are not sure whether what happened to you counts as trauma, that question is worth exploring together. Many people we work with arrive uncertain whether their experience "qualifies." It usually does.
- PTSD and complex PTSD (C-PTSD)
- Childhood trauma, neglect, and emotional abuse
- Relational and attachment trauma
- Narcissistic abuse recovery
- Identity-based and minority stress trauma
- Medical trauma, accidents, or sudden loss
- Trauma co-occurring with anxiety or depression
- Trauma alongside emotional dysregulation
Certified in the modalities we practice, not just cross-trained generalists.
We are a specialized trauma and DBT practice, not a general therapy practice that includes trauma in a long list of services. Our clinicians hold certifications in the specific modalities they practice. They have completed supervised clinical hours in trauma treatment and are not just cross-trained generalists.
We are also one of very few practices in the region offering both a comprehensive DBT program and specialized trauma therapy. For clients whose trauma history includes emotional dysregulation, self-harm, or difficulty tolerating distress, this combination is clinically significant.
Our team is fully affirming for LGBTQIA+ and transgender clients. We have deep experience with identity-based trauma and minority stress. You will not need to educate us or manage our reactions in session.
Reaching out is often the hardest part. We make it simple.
