Trauma Track
Grounding Root Therapy offers trauma specific treatment to clients that want to focus on reducing their trauma responses. All of our therapists are educated and trained in trauma, but the trauma track focuses specifically on moderate to severe PTSD and C-PTSD symptomatology that may be impacting your wellbeing, relationships and sense of self. It is a difficult decision to make due to the upsetting nature of trauma itself, but often trauma appears in the form of physical symptoms, anxiety, depression and sleep disorders that interfere with being able to function at an optimum level.
Adrienne Mariano LPC, ACS is certified through PESI as a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional and works with your therapist at Grounding Root Therapy to provide trauma treatment while you can focus on other aspects that bring you into counseling. Sessions can also be paired with our level 2 Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) practitioner, Michael Mariano LPC, LCADC, ACS to provide relief through tapping techniques. EFT is comparable to Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), but is less invasive and intense for the client, focusing less on reliving traumatic experiences and more on physical relief.
Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)

What is Emotional Freedom Technique?
Often referred to as "Psychological acupressure", the technique works by releasing blockages within the energy system which are the source of emotional intensity and discomfort. These blockages in our energy system, in addition to challenging us emotionally, often lead to limiting beliefs and behaviors and an inability to live life harmoniously. Resulting symptoms are either emotional and/ or physical and include lack of confidence and self esteem, feeling stuck, anxious or depressed, or the emergence of compulsive and addictive behaviors. EFT has been used to treat trauma, PTSD and other mood disorders. EFT treatment involves the use of fingertips rather than needles to tap on the end points of energy meridians that are situated just beneath the surface of the skin. The treatment is non-invasive and works on making change as simple and as pain free as possible.
