The Impact of Trauma
Experiencing trauma can have profound and lasting effects on an individual's well-being.

Recognizing the impact of trauma is an essential step towards seeking appropriate support and therapy for healing.
Understanding Different Therapeutic Approaches
When it comes to healing trauma, there are various therapeutic approaches that have shown significant efficacy. At Cynthia Cunningham, MFT, we offer a safe and compassionate environment where Emily Hu, PhD utilizes evidence-based interventions to assist individuals in their recovery journeys.
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a widely recognized therapeutic approach that focuses on identifying and altering negative thought patterns and behaviors. By working closely with a skilled therapist, individuals can develop healthier coping mechanisms, reduce distressing symptoms, and regain control over their lives.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a specialized therapy that targets traumatic memories and helps individuals process and resolve the associated emotional distress. Through bilateral stimulation techniques, guided by Emily Hu, PhD, clients can experience dramatic reductions in the intensity of their trauma-related symptoms.
Psychodynamic Therapy
Psychodynamic therapy focuses on exploring unconscious patterns and unresolved conflicts that contribute to present difficulties. By gaining insight into past experiences, individuals can achieve a better understanding of their emotions, behaviors, and relationship patterns. Emily Hu, PhD employs psychodynamic techniques to support clients in their healing process.
Mindfulness-Based Therapies
Mindfulness-based therapies, such as Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), cultivate present-moment awareness and promote self-compassion. These approaches help individuals develop coping strategies and reduce the impact of trauma on their daily lives. At Cynthia Cunningham, MFT, Emily Hu, PhD incorporates mindfulness techniques into therapy sessions to foster healing and emotional well-being.
Art Therapy
Art therapy provides a creative outlet for individuals to express and process their emotions related to trauma. Under the guidance of Emily Hu, PhD, clients can explore different mediums, such as drawing, painting, or sculpting, as a means of self-reflection and healing. Art therapy can offer a non-verbal approach to accessing deep-seated emotions and promote integration.
Group Therapy
Group therapy offers a valuable platform for individuals to connect with others who have experienced similar trauma. Sharing experiences, providing support, and engaging in therapeutic activities within a group setting can enhance healing and provide a sense of belonging.
