There is hope

Traumatic events greatly impact our lives and can lead to long term effects if left unprocessed. Each individual’s response to trauma is different, but it’s important to understand that you are not alone. Whether your trauma is from a single event or a series of events, it is important to process the trauma and understand the lasting effects in order to find peace in contentment in life again. Trauma might cause severe anxiety, depression, uncontrollable emotions, fear, physical illnesses or injuries, difficult sleeping, or relationship struggles. You do not have to feel like this forever. Counseling can help.

Our Approach to healing

Every individual experiences trauma differently, so counseling is tailored to each individual, recognizing that the healing process is deeply personal. Typical counseling approaches used include a combination of cognitive behavioral therapy, cognitive processing therapy, exposure therapy, mindfulness practices, and inner child work. Through empathetic listening and various therapeutic techniques, we create a safe and nurturing space for you to express your experiences and feelings. Although it’s important to recognize that one’s life will not be the same, counseling can provide individuals the opportunity to process trauma fully on their own timeline and regain a sense of life, happiness, and purpose. The goal of trauma counseling is to help you reclaim your life and your story to live a happier and healthier life.
