At Grace Therapy and Wellness PLLC, we provide trauma-informed therapy in Austin, Texas for individuals, couples, teens, and families who have experienced trauma, chronic stress, or overwhelming life events.

Our trauma-informed therapists help clients feel safe, grounded, and empowered as they heal — without rushing, re-traumatizing, or forcing disclosure before they’re ready.
What Is Trauma-Informed Therapy?
Trauma-informed therapy is an approach that recognizes how trauma impacts the brain, nervous system, relationships, and sense of self.
Rather than asking “What’s wrong with you?”, trauma-informed care asks:
“What happened to you — and how has it shaped your nervous system, coping strategies, and relationships?”
​
This approach emphasizes:
-
Emotional and physical safety
-
Trust and transparency
-
Client choice and collaboration
-
Empowerment and strengths-based healing
