Trauma Healing in Minnesota:
How the Minnesota Clinic for
Health and Wellness Can Help
If you or a loved one is struggling with difficult experiences associated with trauma, you’re not alone—and there is help. At the Minnesota Clinic for Health and Wellness, we specialize in evidence-based and holistic trauma treatment, offering personalized care that supports deep healing of the mind and body.
Understanding Trauma and Complex Trauma
While trauma has been around since the beginning of humanity, our understanding and definitions of trauma have and are continuing to evolve, especially in the last one hundred years. Trauma can result from a single overwhelming event such as an accident, assault, or natural disaster. Trauma that is repeated and has elements of being intentional, interpersonal, inescapable, irreparable and causes injury, is often thought of as complex trauma. These experiences can leave lasting effects on the nervous system, relationships, self-image, and physical health.
Some examples of unresolved trauma may include:
- Anxiety and panic attacks
- Intrusive images or flashbacks
- Avoidance of people, places, or things that remind you of the trauma
- Chronic stress or irritability
- Difficulty trusting others or feeling safe
- Sleep disturbances and nightmares
- Dissociation or feeling “numb”
- Feeling on edge or hypervigilant
- Persistent negative view of self, others, or the world
- Physical symptoms without clear medical causes
A great reference for deeper insight on trauma symptoms is Van der Kolk’s 1994 Harvard Review of Psychiatry article, titled “The Body Keeps the Score: Memory and the Evolving Psychobiology of Posttraumatic Stress”.
Our Trauma Treatment Services in Minnesota
At the Minnesota Clinic for Health and Wellness, we believe healing must address both the mind and the body. That’s why we offer a variety of empirically supported and holistic therapies designed to support trauma recovery such as:
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
EMDR therapy is a widely recognized treatment for PTSD and trauma. It helps the brain process traumatic memories so they lose their emotional intensity. Clients often find relief after just a few sessions.
Brainspotting
Brainspotting is a gentle yet powerful therapy that taps into the brain’s innate healing processes by using the visual field to access unprocessed trauma. It’s especially effective for complex trauma, anxiety, and performance blocks.
ART (Accelerated Resolution Therapy)
Accelerated Resolution Therapy uses eye movements and imagery to quickly change the way distressing memories are stored in the brain. Many people experience significant emotional relief after only one to five sessions.
Holistic Therapy for Trauma Recovery
In addition to traditional trauma therapies, our clinic offers holistic treatments that support emotional and nervous system regulation, including:
