Specialized Trauma Therapy in Texas - Healing Beyond the Past
Trauma doesn’t just live in the past. It can echo in your thoughts, relationships, and even your body. At Room for Change, our specialized trauma therapy in Texas, including EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), supports healing that feels safe, empowering, and real.
When the Past Still Hurts
Nightmares. Flashbacks. Constant tension. For many, trauma lingers long after the event is over. Sometimes it’s obvious. Sometimes it’s quiet but heavy.
Either way - it’s real. And it deserves care.
At Room for Change, we offer trauma therapy and EMDR therapy in Texas that helps you gently process the pain and find relief. We won’t ask you to revisit everything all at once. We’ll go at your pace, with safety, trust, and respect guiding every step.

What Clients Are Saying
Lori Vann
“As a licensed counselor with over 20 years of clinical experience, I have no reservations about recommending Room For Change for counseling services. They offer a wide variety of services, including Bi-lingual and EMDR. This is a wonderful resource for the East Dallas area that individuals needing assistance must look into for healing.”
Nan R
“I believe in Room For Change. The staff is warm and inviting. You will never feel judged only supported and understood. I would send family or friends to Room For Change with zero reservation.”
Melissa Lecompte
“Ashley Stevenson was a miracle for my teen son and I. If it had not been for her seeing both of us in family therapy our relationship probably would not have survived. She was highly insightful and gave so much support and empathy to both of us. She clarified points of view for both of us so we could truly see the feelings of each other and the good in each other. I am forever grateful for the services she provided for us. She has an amazing talent for counseling and healing broken relationships.”
How Trauma Therapy & EMDR Work
Process at Your Own Pace
We create a space where you can approach painful memories gradually, not all at once. Progress happens in small, safe steps.
EMDR: A Different Way to Heal
Using eye movements or gentle tapping (bilateral stimulation), EMDR helps your brain reprocess trauma without reliving it, so memories feel less overwhelming over time.
Restore Safety & Control
Healing means feeling safer in your body, steadier in your emotions, and more connected to life. Over time, clients often find they can face daily stress with more calm and confidence.

A Future Beyond Trauma
You don’t have to carry the weight forever. With trauma therapy and EMDR, you can begin to feel lighter, steadier, and more whole.
Imagine no longer being pulled back by flashbacks or constant tension. Picture trusting yourself and your relationships again, and feeling safer in your own body.
Therapy is about helping you reclaim your life so you can move forward, not stay stuck in what happened.
