Trauma Recovery Center

Thank you for your interest in the Trauma Recovery Center, a program of Coastal Horizons!

At the TRC, we specialize in a unique “intensive therapy retreat” model. Unlike typical weekly one-hour sessions, our outpatient program gives clients the opportunity to meet one-on-one with a therapist for a longer period.  This intensive format has been shown to be very effective in helping people reprocess and heal from traumas. If the client is a child, we can adapt the format to meet the child’s needs.

We are currently offering half-day trauma intensives, scheduled for 2.75 hours a day for 1 week, with the option to schedule additional days or a second week as needed.

About the Program

While many people benefit from weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly hour-long therapy sessions, some clients find an hour isn't enough to really work on their issues.  Other people find that they are starting to feel impatient about how long it is taking them to “feel better” with traditional therapy.

The intensive therapy model used at the TRC allows for quick and efficient results, accomplishing in a week or so roughly what it would take the average client at least a year to achieve with weekly therapy using the same trauma modalities (EMDR or PC).  The increased contact creates structure, continuity, and containment of dysregulation, allowing the nervous system to engage in deeper work without becoming overwhelmed.  Most people who complete intensive trauma therapy are able to move forward faster with living more fulfilling, happier lives.

Location and Hours of Operation

The TRC is located at 1404 Medical Center Dr., Wilmington, NC, in one of the two WHAT clinic buildings.
