Holistic Trauma Therapy in Concord, NC
Online therapy for adults across North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia who are healing from complex trauma, abuse, and emotional neglect.
Reclaim your identity, confidence, and peace.
You may benefit from holistic trauma therapy if you experience…
Feeling disconnected from the world around you
From your friends, family, coworkers, or partner
…or even from yourself
You find yourself fading into the background becoming an observer rather than an active participant.
You find yourself frozen in the middle of a conversation not sure how to respond.
Constantly wondering how you should act around certain people or different situations
Always feeling like you are walking on eggshells
Finding serenity in this world is truly a radical act.
You don’t have to continue living disconnected, depressed, or on constant alert. You don’t have to shrink yourself to fit into prescribed roles or belief systems forced on you by others.
You can reclaim your independence and self-worth after relational abuse. You can let go of the shame and guilt from religious trauma. You can honor your true identity apart from who society has told you to be.
I help my clients release unhealthy expectations and beliefs, reconnect with their authentic selves, and find genuine peace within themselves and their place in this world.
Meet Michelle Reinhard, LCSW

Complex PTSD (CPTSD) and childhood trauma
Religious trauma and spiritual harm
Narcissistic abuse and relational trauma

LGBTQIA+ individuals
Neurodivergent adults
BIPOC and marginalized communities
Non-monogamous and polyamorous relationships
Individuals exploring identity, belonging, and self-expression
My practice is grounded in creating a space where clients feel seen, respected, and supported in their full identity.
Values & Beliefs
My approach to trauma therapy is:
Liberation-focused
Anti-racist and anti-oppressive
Rooted in nervous system awareness and trauma-informed care
I believe healing happens when people are supported in reconnecting with themselves in ways that honor their lived experiences, identities, and inner wisdom.
Trauma Therapy Services in Concord, NC
-
Childhood Trauma Therapy
Childhood experiences shape how we relate to ourselves and others, but they do not have to define who we become. In childhood trauma therapy, I help clients process early life experiences, identify and release internalized beliefs formed in childhood, reconnect with their authentic identity, and build emotional safety and self-trust. Healing childhood trauma is not about becoming someone new, it is about returning to yourself beneath survival adaptations.
-
Religious Trauma Therapy
Religion can be a source of love, meaning, and community, but it can also involve coercion, guilt, fear, and shame that deeply impact a person’s sense of identity, safety, and self-worth. In religious trauma therapy, I help clients identify and unlearn harmful beliefs, process experiences of spiritual or religious trauma, and release internalized shame. Together, we work toward reclaiming a life and identity that feels authentic, grounded, and aligned with your values, sense of safety, and emotional well being.
-
Narcissistic Abuse Therapy
For individuals healing from emotionally confusing or abusive relationships with people who display narcissistic traits. These experiences can leave you feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, and unsure of yourself. In narcissistic abuse therapy, I help you process what you’ve been through, rebuild self-trust, and strengthen emotional boundaries so you can move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and stability.
-
LGBTQIA+ Therapy
It can be difficult living with an identity that is different from what society believes is acceptable. With constant messaging that something is wrong with us, it can be hard to hear our own voice. I help my clients embrace their authentic, nonconforming selves and support them through healing a lifetime of trauma, releasing harmful internal messages, and taking back control of their life.
-
Depression Therapy
Frustrated with feeling numb, exhausted, and isolated? Depression can pull you down despite all the good in your life. I help my clients get unstuck, reclaim their self-worth, and step back into their life with confidence and excitement. I don’t just teach you how to mask your depression; I help you identify why you are feeling this way and how to make effective, lasting changes.

Polyamory Therapy
Are you balancing multiple relationships while trying not to lose yourself in the midst? Managing the ever-conflicting calendar, new relationship energy, boundaries, and expectations can be a lot to process! I help my clients prioritize themselves, grasp what they truly need from each relationship, and learn to authentically & ethically connect with the people they love.

When beginning trauma therapy, weekly 60-minute sessions are most effective. This helps create consistency, accountability, and the ability to measure progress. Many clients find this helpful for the first 3-6 months. Once you feel confident in your progress, sessions are typically reduced to every other week. The timeline looks different for everyone, and we will collaborate together on ensuring your therapy is most effective for you.
-
Clients are able to schedule sessions via their own client portal. You can schedule week to week or a few weeks out. If you prefer meeting at the same day/time every week, I can block that time for you as long as you show up for your sessions. We can also discuss different scheduling options during our consultation call.
