Trauma & PTSD Therapy Therapists in New York
Looking for a trauma & ptsd therapy therapist in New York? You're in the right place. Trauma changes how your nervous system reads the world. Treating it well takes more than empathy — it takes specific training. Every trauma therapist on this site has been vetted by a licensed clinician and is trained in at least one evidence-based trauma model.
Here's what makes this harder than it should be: a lot of therapists list trauma & ptsd as a specialty when it's really just one of many things they sometimes see. The therapists on this page actually focus on this work — meaning a meaningful portion of their caseload is trauma & ptsd, they've got the training to back it up, and they're not winging it.
Every provider listed is licensed in New York through the New York State Education Department (NYSED) Office of the Professions. Most hold LMHC or equivalent credentials, and the platform vets each one personally. Whether you're in New York City or anywhere else in the state, online sessions mean you're not limited to who's down the block.
Phase one is always stabilization — building the resources (skills, support, nervous-system regulation) you need before you go near the hard stuff. A trauma therapist who skips this is one to avoid. From there, you'll do the actual processing work in pieces, at a pace your system can handle. Good trauma therapy isn't a marathon of catharsis. It's slow, structured, and surprisingly tolerable.
