TRAUMA-INFORMED THERAPY

Do you often feel out of control of your thoughts, feelings, and emotions? Are you unable to stay calm and collected when distressed?

Are intrusive images or flashbacks keeping you from staying present?

Do you come from a background where emotional vulnerability or asking for support wasn’t an option?

As a grown adult in this often chaotic world, you’ve probably survived something difficult or painful. Whether your life was changed in an instant due to an accident, assault, or disaster, or you sustained periods of neglect, abuse, or attachment injury as a child, you may be living with unresolved trauma.

Symptoms of common issues like anxiety, depression, or substance abuse may appear to be surface-level or seemingly unrelated to past experiences. Yet, for most mental health struggles, there is some kind of core trauma at the root of symptoms resulting in physical discomfort, hypervigilance, sadness, guilt, and a desire to numb yourself (disassociating).

If these symptoms sound familiar and interfere with your daily life, a therapist can help you process and cope. Therapy for trauma gives you an opportunity to restore a constructive self-perception—improving your self-esteem, self-confidence, and sense of fulfillment.
