T
rauma happens when something overwhelms your nervous system faster than you can process it.
You may have "gotten through it," but getting through something isn't the same as healing from it. The experience may still be living in your body and mind, showing up as tension you can't explain, reactions that feel bigger than the moment calls for, or a quiet sense that you're never fully at ease.
At Laike Rising Therapy, our work is grounded in empathy, science, and a belief in your capacity to heal. We provide specialized trauma therapy for individuals in Indianapolis, New York City, and via telehealth, using approaches backed by research and delivered with genuine care.
No matter what you've been through, healing is possible, and you don't have to do it alone.

Frequently Asked Questions
What actually counts as trauma?
Trauma is anything that overwhelms your nervous system faster than you can process it, whether it was one event or something that built slowly over years. If it's still affecting you, it's worth addressing.
Do I have to talk about what happened in detail?
No. Approaches like IFS, EMDR, Brainspotting and somatic work allow processing without narrating every detail out loud. We work at your pace.
What if the trauma happened a long time ago?
There's no expiration date on healing. Trauma from decades ago can still be effectively processed today.
How long does trauma therapy usually take?
It varies. Some people find real relief within a few months, while more complex or developmental trauma may take longer to fully process. We build the pace around you.
What's the difference between EMDR and IFS?
EMDR reprocesses specific traumatic memories directly. IFS works with the internal "parts" of you carrying pain or fear. We often use both together, depending on what fits your story.
