Our licensed counselors are trauma-informed therapists, offering experience in complex, evidence-based PTSD counseling techniques, including EMDR therapy and somatic therapy.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is trauma counseling and how does it work?
Trauma counseling is a form of therapy designed to help you process and heal from painful experiences— past and/or present. At Unbound Grace, we use evidence-based, compassionate approaches to help you understand how trauma has shaped your thoughts, emotions and behaviors — and walk alongside you in your journey toward lasting healing and restoration.
How do I know if I need trauma therapy?
If you find yourself struggling with anxiety, flashbacks, nightmares, emotional numbness, difficulty trusting others or a persistent sense of fear or shame, trauma therapy may help. You don’t need a formal diagnosis to seek support. If past or present experiences are affecting your daily life, relationships or sense of self, reaching out is a meaningful first step.
What types of trauma do you treat?
We work with a wide range of trauma, including childhood abuse, emotional or physical neglect, sexual trauma, accidents, natural disasters, grief and loss, and complex or chronic trauma from prolonged difficult experiences. If you’re unsure whether your experience qualifies, we encourage you to reach out. No experience is too small or too complicated.

Yes. We provide PTSD therapy and trauma counseling in Birmingham, AL, serving clients throughout the greater Birmingham area — including Mountain Brook, Hoover, Vestavia Hills, Trussville, Pelham and Alabaster.
What can I expect in my first trauma counseling session?
Your first session is about getting to know you in a safe, judgment-free environment. We’ll talk about what brought you in, your goals for therapy, and what feels most comfortable for you. There’s no pressure to share more than you’re ready to. Healing happens at your pace.
How long does trauma therapy take?
Every person’s healing journey is unique. Some clients find meaningful relief in a matter of weeks. Others benefit from longer-term support. We’ll work with you to create a plan that fits your needs, and revisit your program as you grow.
