Trauma Therapy in Hagerstown, MD

Reclaiming Your Story

 

Trauma can hijack your brain and your nervous system, impacting every aspect of your life—affecting your relationships, sense of safety, and how you see yourself and the world. Your trauma doesn't define you, and healing is possible. Anne Jenkins brings over 26 years of specialized experience in trauma recovery, offering evidence-based approaches that honor your story while promoting healing and renewed well-being.

​

Expert Trauma Support

Anne is specially trained in leading evidence-based trauma treatments, including:

​

• Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) - A structured approach that helps you process traumatic experiences without requiring you to retell the story of your traumatic events. This method allows healing to happen in other ways while helping you challenge unhelpful thought patterns.

• Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) - A comprehensive approach particularly effective for children and adolescents who have experienced trauma.

​

Her integrative approach also incorporates psychodynamic therapy, mindfulness practices, and existential therapy—creating a personalized path to healing that addresses both the immediate symptoms of trauma and its deeper impacts. Anne believes that no one method or intervention fits every person, so she adapts her approach to meet you exactly where you are.

​

What to Expect

 

Trauma therapy with Anne is guided by understanding that human beings are messy, and your feelings—all of them—are okay. Her approach is built on these core principles:

​

• Meeting You Where You Are - Anne creates a safe environment where you feel secure enough to explore difficult experiences at your own pace, without judgment about where you are in your healing journey.

• Gentle Nudging - Many clients seek Anne's support because they want to be gently pushed toward growth. She provides the compassionate encouragement needed to step out of patterns and cycles that no longer serve you.

• Honoring Your Story - Anne supports you in understanding where you've come from so you have deeper insight into where you are now, recognizing and respecting your needs while honoring your story's impact without letting those experiences define you.

​

Anne understands that trauma recovery isn't linear—we are all works in progress. Whether you're dealing with recent trauma, complex PTSD, or experiences from long ago, she provides compassionate, skilled support for your unique healing journey. Her approach recognizes the remarkable resilience of the human spirit and considers it a privilege to be part of your journey toward wholeness.
