Trauma Therapy
and Counseling in MA
At Refresh Recovery Center in Norwell, Massachusetts, you’ll receive trauma therapy that is safe, structured, and personal. Our trauma-informed counseling uses evidence-based care and compassionate support to address how it affects mental health and substance use.
What Is Trauma-Informed Care?
Trauma happens when experiences overwhelm your ability to cope and leave lasting effects. Trauma-informed therapy focuses on safety and trust so you can share your story at a pace that feels right. You and your therapist build skills that reduce symptoms and support daily life.
Six Principles of Trauma Treatment
Safety:
Prioritize your emotional and physical safety in every counseling session, creating warm, welcoming spaces where you feel protected.
Trustworthiness and Transparency:
Clear boundaries and honest communication with clinicians throughout your trauma therapy journey.
Peer Support:
Connect with others who understand your experiences through our group therapy programs and peer support networks.
Collaboration and Mutuality:
Work with a treatment team as partners in your recovery, respecting your voice and choices in counseling.
Empowerment:
Trauma often leaves people feeling powerless. Our approach helps you reclaim control over your life and recovery process.
Cultural and Gender Awareness:
We honor your background and identity, understanding how cultural factors influence both trauma and healing.
