Complex PTSD (CPTSD) & Developmental Trauma

If you’re exhausted from hypervigilance, emotional flashbacks, or feeling “too much,” you’re not alone. Our complex trauma therapy in Dallas helps you understand your nervous system, recognize trauma patterns, and find steadier ground. We’ll work gently to rebuild safety in your body, confidence in your emotions, and trust in connection. Learn more about CPTSD here.

Emotional Neglect & Attachment Wounds

Maybe you learned early that being easy, quiet, or self-sufficient kept you safe. Together, we’ll uncover the parts of you that adapted to survive – and help them finally rest. Our trauma-informed therapy process brings compassion to the parts of you that still feel unseen, helping you form secure, authentic connections again.

Perfectionism, Burnout & Emotional Exhaustion

You may appear high-functioning but feel constantly on edge, drained, or disconnected. Through complex trauma counseling in Plano, we’ll explore the deeper roots of burnout, often tied to old patterns of over-performing and self-silencing, and begin rebuilding a sense of peace, pleasure, and balance.

Neurodivergence

At Tanager Counseling, we specialize in supporting neurodivergent individuals, including those with ADHD, autism, dyslexia, and other forms of cognitive diversity. Our approach helps clients understand and embrace their unique wiring, reduce self-criticism, and build practical strategies that honor their strengths rather than forcing them to fit neurotypical norms.

Our Approach

​​Healing from complex trauma takes time, compassion, and curiosity. Our sessions are grounded in safety and paced gently so your system never feels rushed or overwhelmed.

We integrate:

  • Internal Family Systems (IFS) to explore and heal inner parts with compassion
  • Somatic awareness and nervous system regulation to reconnect body and mind
  • Mindfulness and expressive arts to help release what words can’t
  • Relational attunement to practice trust and safety, one step at a time
