Trauma Informed Therapist and Coach

Chris Paige, LCSW

Trauma Informed Therapist and Coach

"From Surviving to Thriving."

I’m Chris Paige, LCSW and welcome to my Trauma Informed Psychotherapy and Coaching site. I specialize in helping clients resolve their trauma using an integrated approach combining Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) and other body based therapy techniques.

I was initially drawn to a trauma informed perspective due to my frustration with traditional talk therapy being too slow and ineffective. I knew clients deserved lasting results that could be attained in a just a few sessions. I wanted to be able to help people move rapidly past their past and live fully in the present. The approach I use now could best be described as “emotional healing at warp speed.”

MY PHILOSOPHY

All symptoms and barriers too ideal functioning were initially adaptive responses to stress and trauma. These behaviors and feelings were originally able to solve a problem, but now are creating obstacles and sabotaging our dreams and goals. It’s not that we can’t let go of the past, it’s that the past won’t let go of us.

By using effective and efficient trauma techniques, I am able to quickly remove these barriers, which have become "stuck" in the past, and lead you to a life of greater freedom and satisfaction. No matter what challenges you are facing, you can experience a more fulfilling and complete life, free from the control of past events. Live in the present, maximize your inherent strengths and achieve your highest purpose.

My psychotherapy services are available in Florida while my coaching services are available from anywhere in the world via, Skype, FaceTime and telephone. I will tailor our sessions to your specific needs, creating a team approach where you will be the captain and I will be the navigator. Each session will be well spent solving problems, breaking through your barriers and creating a clear action plan towards your individual goals.

LET THE HEALING BEGIN!

Heal the root cause of why you are stuck, unhappy or unsatisfied in life. Create permanent solutions to lifetime issues allowing you to move towards the life you want. Heal faster than traditional talk therapy. Trauma techniques, such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), are much more effective and efficient than other forms of talk therapy. EMDR is referred to as “Emotional healing at warp speed.” My clients are often shocked at how much we accomplish in just a few sessions.

Know specifically what we are working on and have a road map showing you how to succeed. The specific focus of our work will be on resolving triggers and building towards a more satisfying future. By concretely targeting trauma, you will not be treated as a label or diagnosis. I will show you that all of your symptoms and triggers have rational, understandable origins and that while they originally protected you, they are now hurting your growth and success.  We will identify your unique targets for processing, remove the impact of those targets and develop a working plan for the future where you will be free to maximize your inherent gifts. My message is of hope and healing without limitations.

HOW DOES TRAMA EFFECT OUR LIVES?

Trauma is any experience that leaves a footprint on an individual’s nervous system causing the person to re-experience powerful feelings from the past in the present. It is not the event, per se, but the person’s reaction to that event that defines if something is traumatic.

Trauma also has been shown to cause a variety of physical ailments including pain, autoimmune illness and high blood pressure. So by treating your trauma, you are healing both emotionally and physically.

Many people have experienced trauma and don’t realize that it is still affecting them today.

Manifestations of trauma include:  

  • Sadness/Anger/Depression:

  • Loss of hope/Fear of the future/Limited life expectations

  • Relationship Problems/Divorce/Lonliness

  • Attention Problems/Underachievement:

  • Insomnia/Poor Eating Habits:

  • Substance Abuse/Other Addictions:

  • Excessive Outbursts/Shame:
