Trauma & Addiction Recovery
Reclaim Your Control. Rebuild Your Life.
You are a leader, an innovator, a professional who thrives under pressure. You’ve built a successful career and life in Austin through focus and resilience. But behind the scenes, you may be fighting a private battle—one that’s draining your energy, affecting your relationships, and compromising the very focus you rely on.
Past trauma, whether from a single event or a history of chronic stress, can cast a long shadow. To cope with the intrusive memories, anxiety, or emotional numbness, it’s common to turn to substances or behaviors to disconnect and find relief. What starts as a way to “take the edge off” after a demanding day can quietly escalate into a cycle of addiction, leaving you feeling trapped and out of control.
At Harmony Minds Clinic, we understand the intricate link between trauma and addiction. We provide sophisticated, confidential care designed to help high-achieving individuals break free from this cycle. Our goal is not just to treat the symptoms but to heal the root cause, empowering you to reclaim your life and build a future defined by strength, not struggle.

Our Approach: Integrated Treatment for Lasting Recovery
Treating addiction without addressing underlying trauma is like trying to fix a foundation by painting over the cracks. It won’t last. True, sustainable recovery requires an integrated approach that heals both at the same time. This is the cornerstone of our philosophy.
Our Trauma-Informed and Addiction Recovery program is built on:
A Foundation of Safety & Confidentiality: We provide a secure, non-judgmental space where your privacy is paramount. We understand the need for absolute discretion, especially for professionals in high-stakes careers.
Dual Diagnosis Expertise: Our clinicians are experts in treating co-occurring disorders. We have the specialized training to understand how your trauma experiences and addictive behaviors are interconnected.
Personalized, Evidence-Based Care: We don’t use a one-size-fits-all model. Your treatment plan is meticulously tailored to your unique history, challenges, and goals, using proven therapeutic methods.
Healing from Trauma: Moving Beyond the Past
Trauma isn’t just about what happened to you; it’s about how the experience lives on in your body and mind, impacting your daily functioning long after the event is over.
This can manifest as:
Chronic anxiety, hypervigilance, or a constant feeling of being “on edge.”
Irritability or emotional outbursts that feel out of your control.
Difficulty concentrating or “brain fog” that affects your work performance.
Emotional numbness or a feeling of being disconnected from others.
Our therapists are trained in leading trauma-focused modalities to help you process these experiences so they no longer control your present. Our approaches include:
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR): A powerful, structured therapy that helps your brain reprocess traumatic memories, reducing their emotional charge and vividness.
Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT): Learn to identify and reframe the unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors that stem from traumatic experiences.
Somatic (Body-Based) Therapies: Gentle techniques designed to release “stuck” trauma from the nervous system and restore a sense of safety in your own body.
Overcoming Addiction: Regaining Your Freedom
Addiction is not a moral failing; it is a complex medical condition and often a response to unbearable pain. We approach addiction recovery with compassion and clinical expertise, helping you build the skills for lifelong sobriety.
Our addiction recovery services address:
Substance Use Disorders (alcohol, prescription medications, etc.)
Behavioral Addictions (workaholism, gambling, etc.)
We provide:
Root Cause Analysis: We help you understand the “why” behind your addiction, often linking it back to unresolved trauma or chronic stress.
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT): When appropriate, our psychiatric team can prescribe medications to reduce cravings and manage withdrawal symptoms, providing a stable foundation for your recovery.
Relapse Prevention Strategy: We equip you with practical, real-world coping skills to manage triggers, navigate high-pressure situations, and build a fulfilling life in sobriety.
