Psychologist, Psy. D., M.A.
When the foundation of trust shaken (if not feeling broken) through experiences of trauma, the approach to restoring one's life must always be one of sensitivity, patience, and compassion. Without this, there will always be a risk that it will never feel safe enough to heal.

Jarrett Langfitt
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, CADC
Trauma can leave a psychological wound that impacts every aspect of life. Much like physical wounds, psychological injuries sometimes require treatment and attention in order to heal. When psychological injuries from trauma are ignored or left untreated, the symptoms can persist, or worse, they can intensify. Sometimes trauma symptoms stem from is a single event, and sometimes they are the result of a series of events that occurs over a long period of time. If you are having mental, emotional, or spiritual difficulties in the aftermath of traumatic experience(s), you may benefit from specialized trauma-focused treatment. Trauma therapy offers a safe space for survivors to process their experiences, confront painful memories, and rebuild a sense of agency and control over their lives.
If you are struggling with the impact of trauma, please reach out to me today to discuss how therapy can help you take back your life.
