Find Healing and Change: Therapy for Healing Trauma

At Healing Our Trauma, I am dedicated to fostering emotional well-being through psychotherapy, including somatic experiencing, rebuilding connections, and guiding individuals, couples and families toward a path of healing and personal growth that improves their daily life. I treat all types of complex trauma stemming from events such as substance abuse, sexual assault, sexual abuse, childhood abuse -often involving a caregiver, neglect, civil unrest, domestic violence, negative beliefs, PTSD symptoms, natural disasters, or other various ways trauma survivors experience a traumatic experience. This type of treatment focuses on creating resilience and rests on three pillars:

Authenticity

I encourage all my clients to be their true selves, and I promise to do the same. Your unique personality, cultural background, and even your quirks are all welcome here. There's no need for you to hold back or change how you speak. You're never too much but always just right in my eyes. With my genuine approach to trauma therapy, I offer a safe place for every part of you, especially those parts you've felt the need to conceal or downplay.

Safe and Confidential Environment

Of course, trust is paramount. I prioritize creating a confidential and non-judgmental space where you can express yourself freely. Beyond that, I prioritize emotional safety by never forcing clients to disclose information they don't want to. 

Holistic Approach

My approach to therapy goes beyond talk therapy. It includes somatic, movement-based, and inner child/parts work to treat the entire person. I am always working to decolonize my approach as much as possible. 

Community

I believe wholeheartedly in the power of collective healing. This includes emphasizing the importance of additional support through family, friends and or group work. As the popular saying goes, "trauma happens in isolation, but healing happens in community."

About Therapist

Nadirah Habeebullah


Trauma therapist and attachment therapist

in the Kansas City area


What I know of the human spirit is that we are all resilient and possess an inherent resiliency.   We are all in need of healing.  No one gets through life without experiencing some level of pain, loss, rejection, abandonment, regret, shame, or anger leaving traumatic experiences and traumatic memories that can affect our everyday life. It's pretty hard to handle.


Thankfully, we don't have to do it alone. One of my life's passions is walking alongside my clients on their healing journeys, helping them reframe and re-story their experiences and beliefs. I am not here to pathologize your behavior or tell you what's wrong with you. (You've probably already had enough of that.) I'm here to help you churn to the surface from the effects of trauma and what you're carrying and believing.


I'm here to help you "get into your body," and practice grounding, meaning recognizing and honoring the feelings you've suppressed or dissociated. I'm here to help you process the experiences that have haunted you and held you back, blocked your emotional and personal growth, and reduce or eliminate symptoms of trauma in your life. So let me ask you, who would you be without your trauma? What life would you be living and what feelings would you be experiencing? THAT is what you want to achieve and be present in the present moment in the Kansas City area.


I'm excited to help you do that!

FAQs

Have questions? We’re here to help.

  • What is trauma therapy?

     Trauma therapy is a type of therapy specifically designed to help individuals who have experienced a traumatic event. It aims to help process the trauma experience, reduce distressing symptoms like flashbacks, and restore a sense of safety. Mental health professionals use various approaches, including Attachment Therapy, Emotion Focused Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems and Parts Work, Mindfulness  Based Therapy, Narrative Therapy and Somatic Therapy

  • Can you explain what EMDR therapy is?

    EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy is a specific approach used to treat trauma. It involves focusing on traumatic memories while simultaneously engaging in bilateral stimulation, often through guided eye movements. EMDR therapy aims to help the brain reprocess traumatic memories, reducing their emotional impact.

  • Are you accepting new clients?

    Yes.  Schedule a  trauma treatment consultation today or contact us to answer any questions you may have.

  • Do you accept insurance?

    The only insurance I accept at this time is Aetna (Missouri.) All other clients are private pay. For those who do not have Aetna, I can provide you with a superbill you can submit to your insurance company for reimbursement through their out-of-network benefits. Consult your insurance company before to ensure they provide out-of-network benefits. 

  • What type of payment methods do you accept?

    Sessions are $150/60-min hour. Family and couples sessions are $180.

  • Are you seeing trauma therapy clients in person?

    Yes. Sessions can be either in person or online. In-person sessions are held in Independence, Mo. Online sessions are held on Zoom. 

  • How often should I have sessions?

    Clients are free to choose the frequency of their sessions. I recommend that those experiencing moderate to severe distress due to the effects of trauma should come to sessions weekly. Those with mild distress or simply seeking life clarity should come biweekly.

  • How widespread is the impact of trauma?

    The impact of trauma is quite widespread. According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), a significant portion of the population experiences traumatic events. Trauma can affect people of all ages, backgrounds, and walks of life, underscoring the importance of accessible mental health services.

  • How do I know if I need trauma healing therapy?

    The answer to this question varies from person to person, but a general answer is that therapy could be useful if you or others notice that your  mental health symptoms are interfering with your functioning. For example, if you’re so sad, angry, or worried that you’re not able to go to work or school, or if you keep having trouble in your personal relationships because of your behavior. Lastly, if you have  persistent feelings of sadness or anger that are lasting longer than usual (a week or so),  a form of therapy is likely a good choice for you.

  • Do you see children?

    Generally, no. Sometimes I will see children on a case but case basis, but my main client population is made up of adults dealing with adult or childhood trauma.
