We will process and integrate your traumatic experiences in a safe and supportive environment. In therapy you will understand the impact of trauma on their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, as well as develop coping strategies to manage trauma-related symptoms such as flashbacks, nightmares, and hypervigilance. Additionally, therapy may involve psychoeducation about trauma reactions, emotion regulation techniques, and building skills for self-care and resilience.

Tara Thompson
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
Experiencing trauma/PTSD can really affect people with addictions, relationship problems, or depression. For example, someone who's been through a tough experience might start using drugs or alcohol to cope. Trauma/PTSD can also make relationships harder and can make depression worse. To help someone dealing with this concern, I'd create a caring environment, listen to them, and suggest healthy ways to cope.

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.
