Understanding Trauma and Its Impact

Trauma affects everyone differently, but its impact on your daily life, relationships, and well-being can be profound. Whether you've experienced a single traumatic event or complex trauma over time, the emotional and psychological effects can feel overwhelming. Common signs include intrusive thoughts, emotional numbness, difficulty sleeping, hypervigilance, and challenges in maintaining relationships.

Trauma-based therapy recognizes that healing isn't about "getting over" what happened—it's about processing these experiences in a safe, supportive environment where you can develop healthy coping strategies and restore your sense of safety and control.

As a recognized leader in psychedelic therapy, Dr. Gorman offers specialized psychedelic integration therapy for those who have had or are considering psychedelic experiences as part of their trauma recovery. This cutting-edge approach helps process and integrate insights from psychedelic experiences into lasting healing and personal growth.

What to Expect in Trauma Therapy

  • #1 Initial Consultation | Your healing journey begins with a comprehensive 30-minute consultation where Dr. Gorman learns about your experiences, current challenges, and treatment goals. This session helps determine the most effective psychological treatment approach for your situation.

  • #2 Treatment Planning | Together, you'll develop a personalized treatment plan that may include traditional psychotherapy for trauma, somatic approaches, and potentially psychedelic integration work, depending on your needs and interests.

  • #3 Therapeutic Process | The therapeutic process begins with building stability and a sense of safety, followed by working through traumatic memories, and ultimately leads to integrating those experiences and reconnecting with life goals. Sessions typically occur weekly to maintain therapeutic momentum, though frequency can be adjusted based on your needs and progress.

Insurance and Investment in Your Healing

Dr. Gorman is in-network with Aetna insurance. For those with other insurance providers, he can provide detailed statements (superbills) that you can submit for potential reimbursement.

For clients not using Aetna insurance, session fees range from $200 to $300 on a sliding scale, determined based on individual circumstances. Dr. Gorman believes that financial concerns shouldn't be a barrier to healing and is happy to discuss options that work for your situation.

Testimonials

  • "Working with Ingmar was nothing short of life changing. When I first sought out a therapist to help integrate my ketamine work, I was at the beginning of a journey in a very different modality. Not only was I scared and navigating new waters, I was deeply depressed. My personal exploration with alternative medicines found ground and assurance while working with Ingmar. It was a very trying time : Spelunking my mind through dusty corners where my ancestors wandered. But by allowing myself to be open and ask questions like, “why the depression” I shifted out of a ‘something is wrong with me’ framework. It never occurred to me that there would be an end to therapy. That the work could come to a close after great effort. Not only did Ingmar present me with this reality but I evolved into a healed version of myself with a greater understanding of intergenerational trauma and of myself."

  • "I have worked with multiple therapists throughout my life, and Ingmar truly stands out in a special way. Yes he is very well-trained, wise, and insightful, but he also possesses qualities that, in my experience, are unparalleled. These include innate and palpable empathy, a warmth that made me feel safe and supported, and a remarkable ability to listen and truly hear me, even when I couldn’t hear myself. He instinctively created a nurturing space where I felt recognized and understood, and in this space he was able to guide me onto a path of deep healing for the first time in my therapeutic journey. With all of his qualities combined, what he creates is a solid framework for the process of transformation. I cannot recommend him highly enough!"
