Trauma therapist Milwaukee

At Through Therapy, we understand that healing from trauma starts with safety. If you're searching for attachment-based trauma therapy in Milwaukee, chances are you're craving not just relief from symptoms, but real emotional connection. Whether you're navigating complex PTSD (cPTSD), past emotional neglect, or chronic burnout, we help you rebuild your relationship with trust in others and within yourself.

How Trauma Affects Attachment and Connection

Many adults struggling with trauma carry invisible wounds from early relationships. Emotional unavailability, neglect, or betrayal in formative years can disrupt your sense of safety in the world. These patterns can show up as:

  • Difficulty trusting others

  • Fear of closeness or fear of abandonment

  • Emotional numbing or reactions that are incongruent with what is happening

  • Chronic anxiety or numbness in relationships

Trauma can create a lasting impact on one’s ability to feel secure, connected, and emotionally understood.

Why Attachment-Based Therapy Can Help

Attachment-based trauma therapy addresses the core wounds that drive emotional disconnection. At Through Therapy, Courtney Vogt, LCSW, draws on Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) which is a relational, emotion-focused approach grounded in neuroscience and attachment theory. In this work, the therapist becomes more than an observer; they serve as a compassionate co-regulator, offering a safe space to process pain in real time, while helping you feel deeply seen, emotionally held, and genuinely supported.

This approach offers corrective emotional experiences that help:

  • Rewire attachment patterns

  • Build self-trust and emotional regulation

  • Heal shame and internalized beliefs

  • Create space for vulnerability and growth

Many of our clients appear "fine" on the outside. They’re high-achieving, thoughtful, and capable yet inside, they feel anxious, disconnected, or like something is always "off."

Through Therapy specializes in helping Milwaukee-area adults who are:

  • Burned out from caregiving or high-pressure careers

  • Struggling to feel emotions or communicate their needs

  • Craving deeper, more secure relationships

  • Ready to understand and shift long-standing relational patterns

Our integrative, relational approach meets you where you are without judgment, pressure, or pretense.
