Find Safety and Hope Through Trauma Counseling

Trauma doesn’t always look dramatic from the outside. Sometimes it’s a car accident or an assault. Other times, it’s years of harsh words, a parent who left, or a betrayal you never saw coming. Either way, it can leave you feeling unsafe in your own body and unsure who to trust.

Our trauma counseling services give you a calm, confidential place to slowly make sense of what happened. Through Scripture, prayer, and practical steps, we walk with you toward mental trauma healing at a pace that feels manageable.

“He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.” Psalm 147:3 (KJV)

"For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them."

Matthew 18:20 (KJV)

Is Trauma Counseling Right for You?

Trauma counseling may be helpful if a past experience still shows up in your present. It might be one overwhelming event. Or it might be years of chronic stress, relational harm, medical trauma, or grief that never fully settled. Common signs include:

  • Triggers that bring back strong fear, anger, or shame
  • Flashbacks, intrusive memories, or nightmares
  • Feeling numb, shut down, or far from God
  • Hypervigilance, or a sense that you can never fully relax
  • Avoiding people, places, or conversations that remind you of what happened
  • Trouble trusting others, even people who love you
  • Lingering guilt, or a belief that it was your fault

Some of these signs overlap with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). We don’t diagnose PTSD. However, post traumatic counseling can support you spiritually while a doctor or licensed clinician handles diagnosis and clinical care.

Trauma Counseling and Trauma Therapy: Knowing the Difference

Many people search for trauma therapy near me or a trauma therapist near me when they need help, so it’s worth being clear. Glory Deliverance offers biblical trauma counseling, a ministry of care rooted in Scripture. We don’t provide clinical psychological treatment for trauma.

Our licensed trauma focused therapists use several types of trauma therapy, such as:

  • EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
  • Trauma-focused CBT and cognitive processing therapy (CPT)
  • Trauma art therapy, which uses creative expression to process pain
  • Somatic approaches and trauma release therapy, which focus on the body
  • Trauma informed massage therapy, offered by licensed massage therapists

Many people use biblical trauma recovery counseling alongside these trauma therapies. So if you already see a trauma informed therapist, our sessions can add spiritual support without replacing your clinical care.

Premarital Counseling

Who Is Trauma Counseling For?

Adults Carrying Past Trauma

Trauma counseling for adults helps when something from years ago still affects your sleep, relationships, or faith today. Adult trauma counseling gives you space to finally face it, with support.

Childhood Trauma

Childhood trauma counseling helps you understand how early experiences, like neglect, harsh discipline, or instability at home, still shape how you think and respond. Researchers call these adverse childhood experiences, or ACEs.

Emotional, Verbal, and Mental Abuse

Emotional abuse counseling and verbal abuse counseling help you recognize patterns of control, name what happened, and rebuild your worth on how God sees you. Counseling for mental abuse always starts with your safety.

Betrayal Trauma

Infidelity, deception, or a broken promise from someone close can shatter your sense of safety. If you’ve searched for betrayal trauma therapy, biblical counseling offers a faith-centered place to process that hurt. Married couples can also explore marital counseling.

Grounded in Scripture, Led by Experience

Anger Management Counseling at Glory Deliverance is led within a Biblical Counseling framework developed by founder Dr. Regina Maholmes — holding a Master’s degree in Counseling and Human Development, a Doctorate in Divinity, and a PhD in Biblical Counseling, with roots in ministry since 2007. Every session brings Scripture into real conversations about anger issues, triggers, self-control, forgiveness, and relationships.

What to Expect From Trauma Counseling Sessions

Your first session starts with prayer and a conversation, not a deep dive into your worst memories. Your counselor listens, learns about your background, and asks what you hope to gain from counseling. From there, sessions focus on building stability before going deeper.

Over time, you’ll look at how the trauma affects your thoughts, emotions, and relationships. You’ll also look at what Scripture says about safety, grief, forgiveness, and hope. Between sessions, you may get a small practical step, such as a passage to read when you feel triggered. Sessions typically last 60 to 90 minutes.

Trauma Counseling Investment

Trauma counseling at Glory Deliverance is $150 per session. Healing doesn’t follow a fixed timeline, so there’s no required number of sessions. Contact us to ask about scheduling and current availability.

Frequently Asked Questions

Trauma counseling helps you work through experiences that overwhelmed your ability to cope, such as abuse, betrayal, loss, or violence. At Glory Deliverance, counseling for trauma combines Scripture, prayer, and practical steps in a trauma-informed setting, so you can move toward healing at a pace that feels safe.

Trauma-informed therapy is a framework, not a single treatment. It shifts the question from “What’s wrong with you?” to “What happened to you?” It recognizes that trauma, whether from one event, chronic stress, or adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), affects the mind, body, and behavior.

Yes. Our online trauma counseling happens by secure video, so you can meet from home or another place where you already feel safe. It offers the same Scripture-centered, trauma-informed care as in-person sessions in the Columbia area.

If an experience still affects how you feel, sleep, trust, or respond today, it’s worth talking about. Trauma isn’t measured by how dramatic an event looks to others. It’s about how deeply it overwhelmed you. A first conversation can help you sort that out.

No. You never have to recount every detail to heal. Many people start by talking about how the trauma affects their life today rather than the event itself. You decide what to share and when, and your counselor follows your lead.

Scripture doesn’t use the word “trauma,” but it’s full of people who suffered deeply. Joseph endured betrayal and slavery, yet later said, “God meant it unto good” (Genesis 50:20). Psalm 34:18 promises the Lord is near the brokenhearted, and Psalm 147:3 says He heals their wounds.

It varies. Some people find relief in a few sessions, while long-term or childhood trauma usually takes more time. Healing isn’t a race. So there’s no required number of sessions, and you and your counselor decide together what pace fits your needs.

Trauma counseling is $150 per session. Since there’s no set number of sessions, your total depends on your goals and your pace. You can call or use the request form to ask about scheduling and current availability.

Yes. When trauma affects a marriage, couples can meet together for trauma-informed marriage counseling. Sessions help both spouses understand triggers, communicate with patience, and support each other’s healing. In some cases, one spouse may benefit from individual sessions first.

Yes. Many people pair licensed therapy for trauma with biblical counseling. A licensed trauma therapist can provide clinical care, while our sessions add Scripture, prayer, and spiritual support. Just let both providers know you’re working with each other.
