Trauma Therapy for Adults in Las Vegas and Online Across Nevada and New Jersey
Healing anxiety, emotional overwhelm, perfectionism, and broken trust.
When Trust Breaks, Everything Feels Shaky
You might notice:
-
You overthink every text, every silence, every look
-
You shut down when it’s time to open up
-
You crave connection — but fear what it might cost
-
You don’t trust your gut — because it’s been wrong before
This doesn’t mean you’re broken.
It means your body learned how to keep you alive.
And now it’s time to feel safe again.
This isn't a Glow Up.
It's Survival Turned Sacred.
Start Where It Hurts. Stay Where It’s Real.

You Didn’t Ask for This.
You didn’t choose what hurt you.
But you do get to choose what happens next.
There’s no shame in where you’ve been — and no pressure to have it all figured out.

You might feel messy — you’re brave, and you’re real.
Whether you’re carrying anxiety, burnout, or spiritual wounds, you’re not too much.
You’re not alone.
Start where you are. I’ll meet you there.

Therapy is space to breathe, be real, and learn to feel safe.
We’ll build a plan that works with your nervous system — not against it.
You don’t have to carry it alone.
You get to begin again, right here.
A Trauma Therapy Process That Doesn’t Push or Perform
Let’s rewrite the way therapy feels — no pressure, no clinical overwhelm.
We’ll move through three phases, at your pace:
✨ Phase 1: Safety & Grounding
-
Learn how trauma shapes your brain + body
-
Practice regulation + grounding tools
-
Build self-trust and solid boundaries
-
Create a foundation that actually holds you
🧠 Why it matters: Real healing doesn’t start with triggers. It starts with safety.
🔗 Phase 2: Trust in Action
-
Rebuild self-trust + relational safety
-
Deepen your boundaries (without guilt)
-
Therapy for overfunctioning + hyper-independence
-
Start showing up like you believe you matter
🔥 Phase 3: Healing the Deeper Wounds
EMDR, CBT, and Somatic Therapy That Meets You Where You Are
-
EMDR to process stuck trauma
-
CBT to untangle inner narratives
-
Somatic tools to feel safe inside your own skin
Not sure whether EMDR, CBT, or somatic therapy is right for you? We’ll walk through it together — whether you’re in Las Vegas or doing therapy online from New Jersey or Nevada.

Trauma Therapy FAQ: Honest Answers for Messy Humans
🧠 What is trauma therapy, and how does it work?
Trauma therapy helps your brain, body, and nervous system understand: you’re safe now.
It’s not about rehashing every painful memory.
I use tools like EMDR, CBT, and somatic therapy to gently process trauma, release survival patterns, and rebuild trust in yourself — at a pace that feels right for you.
If talking about the trauma feels too overwhelming, you don’t have to share any details.
With “blind to therapist” EMDR, you can process traumatic memories without ever having to tell me what happened.
You stay in control. Your story is yours to hold — or not.
🌪️ What’s the best type of therapy for PTSD, anxiety, and trust issues?
There’s no one-size-fits-all answer — and there shouldn’t be.
At Thrive Well Therapy, we (you and me) co-create a plan based on what your nervous system needs. I often use:
-
EMDR therapy for trauma stuck in the body
-
CBT therapy for anxiety, self-doubt, and looping thoughts
-
Somatic therapy for regulation and body-based healing
-
Relational healing for deep trust and connection work
This isn’t therapy from a textbook. It’s trauma-informed, deeply personal, and made for real life.
🖥️ Can I really do trauma therapy online — or should I find a trauma therapist near me?
Yes — you can absolutely heal through online trauma therapy, and for many people, it actually feels safer and more comfortable. I offer secure virtual sessions across Nevada and New Jersey, including EMDR online.
Prefer in-person therapy? I offer face-to-face sessions in Las Vegas.
Whether we meet online or in the room, the work is real — and we’ll move at your pace.
You can start healing from wherever you are — physically and emotionally.
🧭 How do I know if I need trauma therapy?
If you're constantly in survival mode — overthinking, shutting down, numbing out, or struggling to feel safe in relationships — that’s your nervous system asking for help.
You don't need a diagnosis or a "big enough" trauma. If something hurt you and it's still hurting... that’s enough.
💬 What if I’m not sure this is the right fit?
That’s exactly what the free consultation is for.
We’ll talk about what you’re carrying, what you’re hoping for, and whether this feels like a space you can trust.
If it’s not the right fit, I’ll help you find someone who is. No pressure. Just real connection.
Meet Your Therapist
Hi, I’m Rachel Hansen, LCSW.
I work with people who’ve been told they’re “so strong” —
but inside, they’re exhausted from surviving.
Here’s what you’ll find here:
-
A space where you don’t have to perform or explain your pain
-
Evidence-based tools (like EMDR, CBT, somatic therapy)
-
A pace that honors your nervous system — not someone else’s timeline
You don’t have to white-knuckle your way through healing.
You deserve support that feels safe, steady, and real.
