Trauma has the power to profoundly affect every aspect of our lives, leaving behind emotional wounds that can hinder our ability to thrive. If you or someone you know has experienced trauma, it's crucial to recognize that seeking therapy is a courageous step towards reclaiming control over your life. Unprocessed trauma can result in

• Emotional Turmoil

• Fatigue

• Flashbacks

• Social isolation & Avoidance

• Difficulty Maintaining Healthy Relationships

• Hypervigilance

• Low self-esteem & Negative Self Talk

• Unexplained physical concerns (headaches, stomach concerns)

There are misconceptions around what trauma exactly is. Trauma can be defined as any event that overwhelms an individual's capacity to cope, leading to a profound disruption in the brain's normal functioning and the body's stress response system. This can range from a singular car accident, to witnessing a person being severely injured to growing up in a chaotic house hold. No trauma is “too small” to process.

Why Therapy is Helpful

Therapy offers a compassionate and structured environment where individuals can embark on a journey of healing and recovery. Once you connect with a therapist at our practice we will be able to support you through this journey with validation, a trusting relationship, learned coping skills, the ability to process the trauma and begin to rebuild self worth and resilience.

Therapy for trauma offers a transformative journey towards healing, growth, and reclaiming your life. It provides a supportive environment, validation, essential coping skills, and specialized techniques to process trauma. By seeking therapy, you empower yourself to heal, regain control over your emotions, and cultivate a brighter future. Remember, you deserve healing, and reaching out for support is a powerful and courageous step towards your well-being.

Our therapists are trained in a variety of different modalities to support you on this journey such at CBT, trauma informed care and EMDR (Eye-Movement Desensitization Reprocessing). There has been significant studies on EMDR, showing positive effects, Kaiser Permanente sponsored research that reported 100% of single-trauma sufferers and 77% of people impacted by multiple trauma show no diagnosable PTSD following six EMDR sessions.
