TRAUMA THERAPY & EMDR ON LONG ISLAND
Your past shaped you. It doesn’t have to keep running your present.
The Reclaiming Pathway™ is a structured trauma recovery approach designed to help you build capacity, resolve what continues to hold you back, and create meaningful change in your life.
You may be here because the past is still showing up in the present.
Maybe you understand why you react the way you do. You may have talked about the past, learned coping skills, or tried to move forward—and still notice the same reactions showing up in your emotions, body, relationships, or choices.
Trauma does not always feel like remembering something that happened. Sometimes it looks like the ways you learned to survive still shaping how you live today.
You see the pattern. It still repeats.
You may understand your reactions and still find yourself overwhelmed, shutting down, overthinking, people-pleasing, or responding in ways that do not feel like you.
Your body reacts before you can think.
Trauma can show up as tension, exhaustion, panic, numbness, difficulty concentrating, disrupted sleep, or feeling constantly prepared for something to go wrong.
You are ready for more than learning to cope.
You want to understand what is happening, resolve the experiences that continue to shape your present, and build a life that feels more grounded, connected, and yours.
A STRUCTURED PATH FOR TRAUMA RECOVERY
The Reclaiming Pathway™
Trauma recovery is not about forcing yourself to move on or endlessly managing the same symptoms. It is about building the capacity to safely resolve what happened and reclaim the parts of your life the past continues to shape.
The Reclaiming Pathway™ is our structured, four-stage approach to trauma recovery. Through individual therapy, group support, and ongoing progress monitoring, treatment is matched to what your nervous system and life need next—not a rigid timeline.
STAGE 01
Build Capacity
Learn to recognize what is happening across your emotions, body, thoughts, relationships, and behaviors. Strengthen your ability to remain present and respond with greater choice.
STAGE 02
Resolve The Past
Use evidence-based trauma treatment to process the memories, triggers, beliefs, and survival responses that continue to shape your present.
STAGE 03
Reclaim Your Life
Practice new ways of relating to yourself and others, reconnect with what matters, and translate healing into meaningful changes in daily life.
STAGE 04
Sustain Recovery
Strengthen independence recognize early signs of activation, and create a plan for maintaining your progress beyond active treatment.
WHAT TREATMENT LOOKS LIKE
More support than weekly therapy alone.
The Reclaiming Pathway™ combines focused individual trauma therapy with structured group support and ongoing progress monitoring. Each part of the program serves a different purpose while working toward the same goal: helping you reclaim your present from your past.
Weekly Individual Therapy
Work one-on-one with a trauma-trained clinician to understand your current patterns, build capacity, and resolve the experiences and triggers affecting your life.
Weekly Group Support
Build practical skills and greater self-understanding through structured groups focused on steadiness, resilience, and understanding the parts of you shaped by trauma.
Measurable Progress
Regular assessments help you and your clinician see what is improving, where you remain stuck, and what your treatment should focus on next.
WHO WE HELP
Trauma can show up differently in different lives.
The Reclaiming Pathway™ is designed for people whose past experiences continue to affect how they feel, respond, connect, and function in the present. Treatment is individualized around the patterns creating the most disruption in your life.
Trauma & PTSD
When memories, triggers, hypervigilance, avoidance, shutdown, or emotional reactions continue to shape daily life and relationships.
Anxiety & Overwhelm
When worry, overthinking, perfectionism, people-pleasing, fear of making mistakes, or difficulty settling your nervous system keeps you stuck.
Depression & Disconnection
When exhaustion, hopelessness, loss of motivation, self-criticism, numbness, or withdrawal makes it difficult to participate fully in your life.
The Reclaiming Pathway™ includes pathways for adults, teens, and children, with treatment adapted to developmental needs, presenting concerns, and capacity.
OUR THERAPISTS
Trauma treatment requires more than knowing a technique.
Our clinicians are trained within a shared trauma-recovery framework while bringing their own clinical strengths, personalities, specialties, and areas of expertise.
Treatment may integrate EMDR, IFS-informed work, somatic approaches, DBT-informed interventions, attachment work, cognitive and behavioral approaches, and other evidence-informed methods.
The goal is consistency in how we think about treatment, without making every therapist—or every client—the same.
FEES & INSURANCE
Know what to expect before you begin.
We want costs and coverage to be clear before treatment begins. Our team can review your expected fees, insurance benefits, and available payment options with you during the intake process.
In-Network Insurance
We are currently accepting new clients using Aetna, Northwell Direct, and the World Trade Center Health Program.
Self-Pay
The Reclaiming Pathway™ is also available on a self-pay basis. Our intake team will review current rates and program costs before you enroll.
Out-of-Network Benefits
For certain plans, including eligible NYSHIP, GHI, and NYC employee plans, we may provide courtesy billing or documentation to help you seek reimbursement through your out-of-network benefits.
Insurance coverage does not guarantee payment. Our team will review expected costs with you before treatment begins whenever possible.
Maybe you do not need another therapist.
Maybe you need a clearer treatment pathway.
If you are ready to understand not only why your patterns developed but also what needs to happen for them to change, The Reclaiming Pathway™ may be a fit.
Your first step is not committing to months of treatment. It is helping us understand what you are looking for and determining whether our outpatient model is appropriate for your needs.
Our intake team will walk you through availability, fit, fees or insurance, and next steps.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Questions before you begin?
Here are some of the questions people often have before starting trauma-focused treatment with us.
Do I have to have PTSD to participate?
No. Trauma can affect people in many ways, and not everyone seeking trauma-focused treatment meets criteria for PTSD. Your assessment helps determine what is clinically relevant and what treatment approach fits your needs.
Do I have to do EMDR?
No. EMDR is an important treatment option within our practice, but it is not automatically appropriate for every person or every stage of treatment.
Will I have to talk about my trauma in detail?
Not necessarily. Trauma-informed treatment does not require immediately recounting everything that happened. Early treatment focuses on understanding what is affecting you now and developing the capacity needed for deeper work when appropriate.
Do I have to attend a group?
The Reclaiming Pathway™ is designed around both individual and group treatment. Group recommendations are based on your treatment plan and clinical needs. Your intake team can explain current program expectations before enrollment. Initially all clients receive group support in addition to individual to expedite treatment.
How long does treatment take?
There is no universal timeline. Complex trauma treatment is individualized and depends on your history, goals, functioning, current capacity, response to treatment, and life circumstances.
How do I know if this level of care is right for me?
We begin by reviewing your presenting concerns, functioning, safety, treatment needs, and ability to participate in outpatient trauma therapy. If another level of care would better meet your needs, we will discuss that with you.
