Trauma Therapy in Marin County
A compassionate, trauma-informed approach to healing rooted in nervous system awareness and relational care for individuals across Marin and surrounding California communities.
Understanding Trauma Therapy and How It Supports Healing
Trauma therapy focuses on helping people process experiences that have overwhelmed their nervous system, often leaving lasting emotional, physical, or relational impacts. This can include acute events, developmental trauma, or long-term relational stress that has shaped how someone feels in their body and relationships.
At Solthera Therapy, trauma work is approached gently and at a pace that respects each person’s capacity. The goal is not to revisit painful experiences too quickly, but to build safety, stability, and understanding so healing can unfold in a supported way.
Many people seeking trauma therapy are navigating anxiety, emotional reactivity, shutdown, difficulty in relationships, or a sense of disconnection from themselves. These experiences are understood as adaptive responses rather than personal flaws.
Our Approach at Solthera Therapy
At Solthera Therapy, trauma therapy integrates somatic and relational approaches that support regulation of the nervous system and deeper emotional processing. Work may include modalities such as EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, IFS-informed therapy, Brainspotting, and attachment-based approaches.
The focus is on creating a stable therapeutic relationship where safety can gradually be rebuilt. Sessions often include attention to body-based cues, emotional patterns, and the ways past experiences continue to show up in present-day life.
This approach is informed by extensive training in trauma treatment modalities and grounded in mindfulness-based and compassion-centered frameworks. Kiri Maura serves as the primary practitioner and clinical authority guiding this work.
Trauma Symptoms and When Support May Be Helpful
Trauma does not always present as a single clear memory or event. For many people, it shows up as persistent anxiety, emotional overwhelm, irritability, numbness, or difficulty feeling present in daily life.
Other signs may include challenges in relationships, difficulty setting boundaries, sleep disruption, or a sense of being stuck in patterns that are hard to change even with insight or effort. These experiences often reflect nervous system adaptation rather than lack of willpower.
Seeking trauma therapy can be helpful when these patterns begin to impact quality of life, relationships, or overall well-being. Support is especially important when self-regulation feels difficult or when past experiences continue to feel emotionally present.
