Trauma & PTSD Treatment
At Tampa Therapy and Rehabilitation Services, Kimberley May, LMHC, MCAP, ICADC, CEAP, SAP, CRC, provides trauma-informed care for individuals processing acute or ongoing distress. With over 20 years of clinical experience, Kimberley helps clients throughout Tampa, St. Petersburg, and across Florida (virtually) work through trauma and PTSD at a pace that feels safe and manageable.
A Trauma-Informed Approach
Trauma affects the nervous system, relationships, and sense of safety in the world. Kimberley's attachment-based training informs how she approaches trauma treatment — focusing not just on symptom relief, but on helping clients rebuild a felt sense of safety and connection, both within themselves and with others.
Who Benefits from Trauma Treatment
Kimberley works with clients experiencing:
Post-traumatic stress from a single incident or ongoing exposure
Childhood trauma and its effects on adult relationships and functioning
Anxiety, hypervigilance, or emotional numbness following a distressing event
Grief and loss connected to traumatic circumstances
Occupational trauma, including for first responders and healthcare professionals
What Treatment Looks Like
Every trauma treatment plan begins with a careful, client-led intake to understand history and current symptoms without re-traumatizing the process. From there, Kimberley uses evidence-based, trauma-informed methods to help clients process difficult experiences, reduce symptom intensity, and restore a sense of stability and control.
A Judgment-Free, Compassionate Space
Clients are never rushed or pushed to share more than they're ready for. Kimberley's goal is to create a space where healing can happen safely, at each client's own pace.
