Trauma & PTSD Therapy
“I’ve been through something traumatic and it’s still affecting me.”
You set the pace, and you decide what gets talked about and when. That is not a courtesy — it is how this works.
What this looks like at Bloom.
Something can be long over and still be shaping how you sleep, who you trust, and what your body does when a door slams. That is not a failure of will, and it is not a sign you are handling it badly.
Trauma work at Bloom does not begin with retelling the worst thing that happened to you. It begins with steadiness — what helps, what does not, what you need in the room to feel safe enough to be honest. What comes after that is yours to decide, and you can stop, slow down, or change direction at any point.
Some people want to work directly with a specific event. Some want to work with how it has shaped the years since. Some are not sure yet. All three are workable starting points.
Who this is for.
- Something happened, and it is still with you.
- You startle easily, sleep badly, or feel on guard for no reason you can point to.
- You avoid places, people, or reminders — and the avoiding has gotten bigger.
- You have been told you are "fine now" and you do not feel fine.
- It happened a long time ago and you have never really talked about it.

Zach allows people to feel completely transparent and brings out the vulnerable side to explore themself. He never pushes someone to go too fast and meet them where they are to help guide and support through the therapy process.
Mr. Nielsen is very knowledgeable and professional. He creates a safe and welcoming space for clients. His positive and supportive demeanor provides a therapeutic environment for people from all walks of life. Highly recommend!
