What to Expect from Working with a TGI Clinician

Seeking support for trauma or grief can feel like a big step. You may be wondering what therapy will look like, what kind of approach your clinician will take, or how you’ll know if it’s the right fit. At the Trauma and Grief Institute (TGI), our clinicians are here to walk alongside you with compassion, expertise, and a deep respect for your healing process.

Here’s what you can expect when working with a TGI clinician:

1. A Trauma-Informed and Compassionate Approach

All of our clinicians are trained in trauma-informed care, which means your experiences are always met with understanding, safety, and respect. We recognize that trauma and grief impact people in unique ways, and we work with you at your pace — never rushing, always creating space for your needs.

2. Evidence-Based Therapies

TGI clinicians draw on evidence-based therapeutic approaches such as EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Brainspotting, CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), and somatic practices. These tools help clients process painful experiences, build resilience, and find healthier ways of coping with the challenges of trauma and grief.

3. A Collaborative Partnership

Healing is not something you have to do alone. Our clinicians view therapy as a partnership - one where your voice, goals, and lived experiences guide the work. Whether you’re seeking support for anxiety, depression, grief, or major life transitions, we work with you to set goals and adapt therapy to fit your needs.

4. A Safe and Supportive Space

We know how important it is to feel safe in therapy. TGI clinicians create environments - whether in person or virtual - where you can explore difficult emotions, share openly, and reconnect with yourself without fear of judgment.

5. Specialized Support for Trauma and Grief

Unlike general therapy settings, TGI clinicians have specialized training in trauma and grief work. From navigating sudden loss to managing the impact of long-term stress, our clinicians bring both expertise and empathy to help clients move toward healing and growth.

6. Flexible Options for Care

We offer support for individuals, families, and groups, with clinicians available both in person and online. Many of our clinicians also provide free consultation calls, giving you the chance to ask questions and see if they’re the right fit before starting therapy.

Taking the First Step

Working with a TGI clinician means stepping into a space of care, trust, and possibility. Our goal is not only to help you cope with trauma or grief but also to support your growth and resilience along the way.
