About trauma therapy

“Trauma therapy is not just therapy: it is the restoration of dignity. When a person is emotionally wounded, shamed, or humiliated, their brain changes. Research shows that following such experiences, the brain regions involved in self-experience begin to shrink, particularly in the precuneus and the posterior and anterior cingulate cortex.
In simpler terms: A deeply humiliated person no longer wants to feel themselves. This internal withdrawal from the self, the loss of self-contact and inner rootedness, may well be the most painful consequence of psychological trauma. And it is precisely here that the deeper purpose of trauma therapy begins: It is not merely about treating symptoms. It is re-connection, re-embodiment, and the careful reconstruction of one’s dignity.”

Dr. Damir del Monte {2025}

Are you ready for specialized trauma therapy?

Our work blends neurobiology, attachment, and compassion to help you reconnect with yourself and the people who matter most. We honor healing that unfolds at the pace of felt safety and integrate other modalities that we’re trained in like EMDR, Brainspotting, IFS, etc to provide a therapeutic experience beyond symptom treatment.

How often do you say I’m fine?

Do you find yourself replaying conversations over and over (ruminating)? Or maybe you’re feeling stuck with symptoms that persist even after trying talk therapy? Shoulders clenched, rigid, tight. Intellectualizing and overthinking. Your jaw clamped. Exhausted. Checked out. Burned out. Your relationships full of tension; food, sleep, maybe even spending, out of control? Your relationship with yourself consisting of criticism and shame.
Trauma therapy is provided through compassionate witnessing, teaching skills so you can have the capacity to work with the big emotions, and using the science of safety to support you through the adaptations your brain and body has held on to survive, even when it’s no longer needed.

FAQ

Arriving at Selah:

We’re located in the Oil & Gas Building (red brick). Parking can be a challenge downtown. There are limited spots in front of the City National building and parallel parking across the street in front of Wilson Office Supply. You may consider parking on Lamar St. or on 8th St. by the Hamilton building for a short walk. When you enter the O&G building, you’ll take the elevators to the 10th.
There is typically a thoughtful quote or message outside the door for your reflection. Once you enter, on your left you’ll find beverages: coffee, tea, or water for you. You’re welcome to sit down and your therapist will be out shortly to begin your session. Should you need the restroom, you’ll need to exit the office and go straight down the hallway, taking a right at the mirrors. You’ll find bathrooms on your right.

What makes therapy different at Selah?

We are a deeply relational and inclusive trauma practice and are committed to ongoing learning. We believe healing happens at the pace of safety in the nervous system, which includes creating a space where all parts are welcome. We don’t have to know your trauma details to begin the work. In fact, we encourage you to only share headlines to reduce reinforcing the often maladaptive patterns in the brain and body. We often begin the therapeutic work with strategies to manage the here-and-now and reduce the overwhelm. As your capacity increases, we can process the there-and-then that continues to put you into survival mode.

What type of therapy is offered?

We specialize in trauma therapy for the individual (children-adult), couple/marriage, or family. We utilize an integrative approach, meaning we have a foundation in the science of safety (Polyvagal theory + Neurobiology) which informs how we apply other trauma interventions, e.g. EMDR, Brainspotting, IFS, Expressive arts, Systems, etc). We intentionally incorporate the various trainings we’ve had that best suits your circumstances, adaptations, and symptoms to strengthen your resilience and support you on your journey.
*Kelsey offers pre-marital counseling through the Prepare/Enrich assessment process. The assessment is a separate cost at $35 and provides you with an in depth 10 page report that you’ll work through with Kelsey. Package options are available! She’s also offering this for married couples as well to provide a deeper insight into communication, conflict resolution, and relationship growth.

Do you take insurance?

We are primarily private pay and utilize a Pay-What-You-Can scale to support a variety of financial incomes. Each therapist has a scale they are comfortable with. In addition, Lianna & Nef will be accepting multiple insurances through Headway. STCC is also paneled with BCBS and we are working on paneling with several other insurances.

What is Blue Chip?

The Texas Blue Chip Program provides no-cost resources that support the mental health of Texas police officers. Resources include counseling and office visits with mental health professionals that can be scheduled anonymously without having to go through Employee Assistance Programs (EAP), Officer Wellness Programs at local police departments, or insurance referrals.

What is the Resilient Families Collective?

In collaboration with Heart Galleries of North Tx, we have a grant to provide post-adoption therapy to children/teens and the families involved for free. We are also providing groups with intention for trauma-informed learning and supportive long-term connections.

Do you offer faith-based counseling?

Yes. We understand that faith practices and spirituality can hold deep significance in healing and they can also be connected to past trauma and harm. At Selah, we create space for your beliefs, values, and experiences without assumption or agenda. We’ll meet you with respect and openness, whether a specific faith or belief is central to your healing or something you’re still making sense of. Your therapist can thoughtfully integrate it into your trauma work at a pace and comfort level that feels authentic for you.

How do I request my records?

You have the right to request a copy of your health care records. You can do so by emailing your provider, contacting them through your secure portal, or emailing selah@selahtraumacc.com to make your request. Please allow 7-10 days to fulfill. Please know we may need additional information to verify your identity to process your request.
Couples specific: When a couple is treated, the relationship is often seen as the primary ‘client’. In the instance you are requesting records and were seen for couples/marriage therapy, please know we need consent from both parties in order to release the records. If it cannot be obtained, we have to redact information from the other party. For example, a wife requests a copy and the husband declines, we have to redact what the husband said.
