Who We Are

You Are Not Broken, and You Don't Have to Carry This Alone

Trauma doesn't always announce itself with a single defining moment. It builds quietly from repeated experiences, or it strikes suddenly and leaves you braced for the next blow. Whether you're living near the Covington waterfront or anywhere in our community, you may have noticed yourself staying tense, avoiding certain places, or finding your mind pulling you backward when you need to be present. You don't need a diagnosis or the perfect words to describe what happened. You just need to feel steadier in your own life.

At Integrative Recovery Therapies, we start where you are. Trauma counseling here means building genuine safety first, understanding what your nervous system needs, and moving only at a pace where you have a real say. We won't push you to tell your story before you're ready, and we won't pretend that talking alone fixes anything. Instead, we work with your whole self, helping you develop resources and stability so that when deeper healing work happens, you're resourced enough to do it without getting overwhelmed.

Signs Trauma Counseling Can Help

  • Intrusive memories, flashbacks, or nightmares
  • Hypervigilance and constant scanning for danger
  • Emotional numbness or feeling detached
  • Avoidance of people, places, or reminders
  • Difficulty trusting or staying present in relationships
  • Using substances to sleep, calm down, or stop thinking

Trauma Support Built Around Covington, Not a Protocol

Covington families have weathered real storms, literally and figuratively. Hurricane recovery, loss, and the anxiety that comes with living in a place that's known hard times can weigh heavy on hearts and minds. Trauma counseling gives people in our community a chance to process what they've been through and find solid ground again, in a way that honors both the strength we share and the real hurt that needs tending.

Safety and Consent First

We move toward deeper processing only when you feel resourced enough, never before you're ready.

Treated Like Family

A small team by design. You'll never be passed around or treated like a number.

Never Shaming

Non-punitive, always. We don't use shame as a tool, and we're direct with care.

Insurance-Friendly Access

Louisiana Medicaid, Medicare, and most major commercial plans accepted.

How It Works

Your First Steps in Trauma Counseling

Your first sessions are about listening and learning. We'll understand what brought you here and what's worked or hasn't worked before. There's no pressure to share everything at once. We move at the pace that feels right for your nervous system, not a predetermined timeline.

01

A real member of our team, often one of our founders, responds personally to understand what's going on.

02

Stabilization & Skills

Building grounding, emotion regulation, and distress tolerance so daily life becomes more manageable.

03

Processing & Integration

Gently addressing traumatic material, only with consent, in a way that reduces intensity and restores choice.

04

Reconnection

Strengthening identity, relationships, and values-based living so your life isn't organized around what happened.

We currently are unable to offer support for schizophrenia and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. For most other concerns, including PTSD, complex trauma, and co-occurring substance use, we treat them alongside anything else going on.

You Don't Have to Carry This Alone.

Starting can feel both relieving and scary, and that's completely normal. Your first conversation is simply a chance to talk about what's happening and what kind of support might work for you right now - nothing more. You're in control of the pace. Covington counselors are ready to meet you where you actually are.
