Healing is Possible

We’re Here to Help

The Transformative Trauma Center (TTC) is the brain/heartchild of Maria Bowen. Weaving together her training as both a mental health counselor and a dance/movement therapist, Maria has taken the best parts of all her life experiences and specialty trainings to create a unique approach to complex PTSD.

If complex trauma was recognized fully, most mental health “disorders” would cease to have their own DSM entry. Depression, anxiety, OCD, addiction – these are all manifestations of trauma.

Maria’s multimodality approach is designed to get to the root of the trauma and to heal from the bottom up. She is not interested in bandaids, but in deep, lasting healing therefore releasing you from the shackles of the past so you can thrive in the now.

Brainspotting is a therapeutic tool that uses a person’s vision field to help them reprocess trauma. It uses points that a client’s eyes naturally gravitate towards and helps clients unlock and access trauma that’s trapped in the subcortical brain.

Trainings

We know that trauma is showing up in our offices and classrooms, in our colleagues, and relationships. But what is trauma? What causes it? How do we recognize it? And perhaps, most importantly, what do we do about it?

Join Maria for a deep dive into the world of trauma, and learn practical and effective tools for profound healing.

Maria Bowen, LCMHC, R-DMT, MA

My experiences of living in different countries, in building relationships across differences, and choosing family with myriad identities, has brought me to an intersectional and systemic analysis of the ways that we carry our emotional, intellectual, and embodied experiences. My approach as a therapist is deeply rooted in neuropsychology and human development, and is fundamentally relational. 

I am queer (she/they pronouns) and autistic. I have multiple chronic health conditions and am disabled (ask me what this means–it may not be what you think). I embody fat liberation and body neutrality. I am anti-racist and anti-colonialist.

What is Trauma?

Trauma is the result of our neurological systems not integrating and processing events that impact our nervous systems.

The magnitude of the event does not matter, it’s about how our nervous system and our body experienced it. For example, two people can be in a car accident together in the same situation, and one person can get into a car the next day and the other can’t get into a car for years.

It is important to remember that trauma is not only the bad things that have happened but also the good things that did not happen.

Within each of us, in the ground of our being, powers reside for the healing of our world.
