CPTSD Therapy in Richardson, TX

At CWK Counseling in Richardson, TX, I specialize in helping individuals heal from Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (CPTSD). I offer therapy that’s compassionate, evidence-based, and deeply rooted in understanding the long-term impact of complex trauma. CPTSD therapy provides a space to untangle the emotional, relational, and psychological challenges caused by repeated or prolonged trauma — and to begin building a life that feels safer, steadier, and more your own.

Whether you’re in Texas, Florida, Alabama, Colorado, or Louisiana, I provide online therapy and telehealth mental health care that meets you wherever you are — emotionally and geographically.

What Is CPTSD Disorder?

Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (CPTSD) is a mental health condition that develops after long-term trauma — such as childhood abuse, emotional neglect, domestic violence, or prolonged exposure to instability. Unlike PTSD, which often stems from a single event, CPTSD involves chronic emotional pain, difficulty regulating emotions, unstable relationships, a fragmented sense of identity, and persistent negative self-perception. It can impact every part of your life — but healing is possible.

How CWK Counseling Treats CPTSD Disorder

At CWK Counseling, I provide therapy for CPTSD through a combination of trauma-informed approaches, including:

IFS (Internal Family Systems)
IFS therapy helps you explore the different parts of yourself — especially the ones shaped by trauma. By learning how to listen to, honor, and heal these internal parts, you can build more inner calm, reduce CPTSD symptoms, and reclaim a deeper sense of self-worth.

ART (Accelerated Resolution Therapy)
Accelerated Resolution Therapy is a fast-acting trauma therapy that helps neutralize distressing images and sensations from traumatic memories. ART is especially effective for clients with CPTSD, providing relief without needing to relive the trauma in detail.

Family Systems Lens
Through a family systems approach, we examine how early relational dynamics and generational trauma patterns may have contributed to CPTSD. This lens can offer powerful insight and help you untangle long-standing roles, beliefs, and relationship challenges.
