Who is trauma-informed therapy for?

Trauma-informed therapy is helpful for adults who feel overwhelmed, emotionally disconnected, or stuck in patterns like people-pleasing, overthinking, or difficulty setting boundaries. It is especially beneficial for those who grew up feeling emotionally unsupported.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a structured therapy approach that helps you process distressing memories so they no longer feel overwhelming. It uses bilateral stimulation to support your brain in reprocessing experiences and reducing emotional intensity.

The length of trauma therapy varies depending on your goals and experiences. Many clients begin noticing meaningful shifts within the first few months, with deeper work continuing over time.

Meet Siobhan Strickhart, LPC

I specialize in working with adults in New Jersey and Pennsylvania who feel overwhelmed, emotionally disconnected, or stuck in patterns like people-pleasing, anxiety, and difficulty setting boundaries.

Many of my clients learned early on to prioritize others over themselves, often growing up in environments where their emotional needs were not fully supported. As adults, this can show up as self-doubt, overfunctioning in relationships, or feeling like you have to hold everything together on your own.

My approach is warm, direct, and trauma-informed. I focus on helping you better understand yourself, feel more grounded in your emotions, and show up with greater clarity and confidence in your life and relationships.

I provide virtual therapy for adults across New Jersey and Pennsylvania, including Somerset County, Hillsborough, Princeton, and surrounding areas.
