Embrace Imperfection & Practice Self-Compassion
“I keep working on myself, but these old patterns and triggers won't let go.”
We understand how exhausting it can be to carry the weight of acute and complex trauma, especially after trying so many ways to heal. Sometimes, talk therapy on its own doesn’t fully address deep-rooted wounds, and it can feel disheartening when progress seems out of reach.
Our Trauma Resolution Program helps you target trauma at its core so you can feel relief, hope, and genuine healing.

Are You an Asian American Struggling with Complex Trauma?
As a first-generation Asian American or child of immigrant parents, you may be carrying the weight of trans-generational trauma. Common experiences include:
- Navigating conflicting cultural expectations daily
- Taking on adult responsibilities like family translation at a young age
- Experiencing intense pressure to achieve and make parents proud
- Feeling your self-worth is tied solely to performance
- Managing emotions of parents dealing with their own immigration trauma
- Struggling with attachment needs that went unrecognized
- Coping with isolation at school without parental support
- Suppressing emotions to maintain family harmony and "save face"
These experiences often lead to:
- Complex PTSD symptoms
- Perfectionism and high-achieving tendencies
- Persistent imposter syndrome
- Intense fear of making mistakes
- Recurring negative beliefs about being "not enough" or "unworthy"
- Difficulty maintaining boundaries and relationships
- A nameless empty feeling deep down
- A core belief of “I’m broken” or “I’m bad”
- Tendency to rationalize, suppress, or dismiss emotions
- Disconnection with body sensation
- Addiction
Integrative Creative Therapy
10-Week EMDR & Somatic IFS Trauma Resolution Program
Our 10-week program is designed to go beyond traditional talk therapy by addressing the root cause of your distress. Through a gentle blend of EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and Somatic Internal Family Systems (IFS), we help you understand the “protective parts” that once served as survival mechanisms and may now be causing self-criticism, harmful habits, or feeling stuck.
We’ll equip you with practical coping skills to increase resilience, ensuring you don’t become overwhelmed during treatment. As we safely reprocess unresolved trauma with EMDR—at a pace you control—we’ll also use IFS techniques to integrate conflicting internal parts, releasing negative self-beliefs that keep you small. Grounding exercises after each session help you transition back into daily life without feeling flooded. Finally, we’ll reinforce empowering self-beliefs and offer action plans so you can step forward with greater self-compassion, confidence, and renewed resilience.
Each of the 10 sessions lasts for 80 minutes and is $250/session.

If you are:
Struggling to break from the past
Our specialized 10-week trauma resolution program combines EMDR and Somatic Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help you address the triggers that pull you back into painful memories. By reframing and healing from trauma, you’ll feel more grounded, with a reduced stress response and fewer overwhelming reactions to reminders of trauma.
Feeling stuck in a cycle of negative self-talk
We’ll help you identify and release the deep-seated beliefs that fuel feelings of shame, inadequacy, or self-criticism. As we target the root causes of these patterns through EMDR therapy for trauma and Somatic IFS therapy, you’ll learn to replace harmful thoughts—like “I’m not enough”—with healthier, more empowering beliefs, such as “I am worthy” and “I am safe now.”
Feeling controlled by addictive behaviors
By uncovering and processing the trauma or emotional triggers that drive addictive or self-defeating behaviors, our integrated approach allows you to heal those underlying wounds. As we address these core issues in a safe, paced manner, you’ll develop healthier coping strategies and gradually replace addictive habits with more supportive, life-affirming choices.
Healing your whole self.
Our 10-week EMDR & Somatic IFS Trauma Resolution Program will help you process and heal trauma stored in the mind and body. Get started by booking an appointment or free consultation. Our program is available online across Texas and New York.
about Us
Why Work With Integrative Creative Therapy
Our minds are powerful, but our bodies hold the wisdom and unresolved past. It takes a holistic approach to truly heal and change.
At Integrative Creative Therapy, we go beyond traditional talk therapy by engaging you cognitively, somatically, emotionally, and creatively. Our role isn’t to fix you, but to help you unburden past pain, expand your emotional capacity, and connect to your healthy core (the Self-Energy) for a more authentic life.
We believe creative expression is the portal to your inner world. Through music, art, movement, and other creative modalities, we help you explore and heal in ways that can be both liberating and enlightening. This approach is particularly powerful for teens, children, and individuals who find traditional therapy limiting, as it bypasses the constraints of verbal communication to access deep healing.
With over 20 years of combined experience, we provide trauma and neurodivergence-informed care using evidence-based approaches like EMDR, IFS, somatic work, and Creative Arts Therapy. Our practice is built on the understanding that everyone has the innate ability to heal when they feel safe, seen, and accepted.
When you’re ready to make meaningful change, we’re here to help you move forward with more vitality, flow, and joy.

Our Approach
How Our Trauma Resolution Program Works
At Integrative Creative Therapy, we aim to help you heal from the root causes of your distress by combining EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) with Somatic Internal Family Systems (IFS). Our process is designed to empower you with practical strategies, deeper self-compassion, and long-lasting relief.
1. Identify and Understand Protective Parts
We begin by uncovering the root causes of your struggles using a Somatic Internal Family Systems lens. By recognizing these “protector” parts—thought patterns or behaviors that once helped you survive—you’ll gain insight, self-compassion, and a deeper awareness of your emotional landscape.
2. Build Resilience with Coping Strategies
To prevent overwhelm, we teach you practical resourcing and grounding techniques. These tools help regulate your nervous system, ensuring you feel safe and supported as we move forward in healing.
3. Reprocess Unresolved Trauma
Using EMDR, we work together to carefully address the memories that still trigger intense reactions. You’ll set the pace, and we’ll proceed in a gradual, titrated manner so the process remains manageable. As we reprocess trauma, we also target and shift negative self-beliefs, integrating any conflicting internal parts through IFS.
4. Integrate and Reinforce Positive Beliefs
Once the distress around old memories subsides, we introduce new, empowering self-beliefs using EMDR. You’ll receive clear action plans to practice these skills, supporting ongoing growth in confidence, self-compassion, and resilience—even after our work together is complete.

Questions About Our Trauma Resolution Program
What’s the difference between the 10-week Trauma Resolution Program and regular therapy?
Our 10-week EMDR and Somatic IFS Trauma Resolution Program is designed specifically for people who are ready to tackle acute or complex trauma in a more targeted way. Unlike typical therapy, this program offers pre-and post-assessments, weekly check-ins, and extended session times to dive deeper. We also create weekly action plans to keep you on track and ensure you see meaningful progress by the end of the 10 weeks.
How long is each session in this 10-week program, and what is the rate?
Because we’re doing focused, in-depth work, each session is 80 minutes long to give us enough time for thorough processing and grounding. The rate is $250 per session, reflecting the extended session length and the specialized nature of the work we’ll be doing together.
What happens after the 10-week program?
Many people start to feel lighter, more aligned, and notice that old triggers don’t hit as hard. You might have an easier time recognizing and challenging negative beliefs and feel more confident in your day-to-day life. Of course, results vary depending on your level of engagement and the severity of your trauma. If you have a single-event trauma and use the tools consistently, you’ll likely see significant improvements during the program. If you have more complex or long-standing trauma, 10 weeks may not be enough to address everything fully. In those cases, we can talk about continuing therapy or exploring other supportive options after the program ends.
What if I realize it’s not the right program for me?
We encourage you to give it a fair chance by committing to at least four sessions. That way, you can truly experience the approach and see if it aligns with your goals. If after those four sessions you still feel it’s not a good fit, just let us know. We’ll discuss other treatment possibilities or plan a smooth transition out of the program.
Will I have to relive all the details of my trauma during therapy?
You’re always in control of what you share. While EMDR and Somatic IFS are powerful tools to process and heal from traumatic memories, we’ll move at a pace that feels safe for you. We focus on helping you integrate and release distress without forcing you to re-experience every detail. Our goal is to create a supportive space where you can heal at a level you feel comfortable with—one step at a time.
