Trauma

Have You Had An Overwhelming Experience That Still Effects You Today?
Life is overwhelming sometimes. When we experience a trauma, like sexual abuse or assault, abuse as a child, physical or emotional abuse, our brains get stuck.  Our mind is like a record player skipping – we experience the trauma over and over again. Small things can trigger a bad memory or make us afraid. Trauma also effects how we relate to others, making us less trusting, often isolating ourselves. All our therapist are trauma-informed, meaning that we understand that trauma in this day and age means a lot more than just physical, emotional or sexual abuse. We understand that trauma is not always about the event that happened to you, but how it impacts your body and your life. Regardless of what you have or have not been through, we are here to help you work through your past experiences that are keeping you stuck.

You Are Not Alone!
If you’ve experienced a trauma, you are not alone. Trauma makes us feel isolated from others, so the first step is to be courageous and ask for help. We have partnered with many people over the years and walked the healing journey with them.  Often people who have been abused have awful memories playing on repeat in their heads.  This is a normal reaction to trauma.  We will help you get those memories off of replay. We will work on learning skills to feel safe again and how to move forward with trusting people.
