Trauma can feel like such a “taboo” word that carries emotions like shame, guilt, and confusion. Whatever your experiences may have been, they are true for you. I can help support you in navigating the challenges that trauma can bring through somatic processing and learning skills to help build resilience and develop healing from the pain of trauma.

Scheyden Herold
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT #137593, MS
Trauma and PTSD are so incredibly common and underrecognized. People often go decades in their lives with undiagnosed PTSD and trauma without even realizing it. It is important to unveil the traumatic experiences we have gone through in our lives. Some people can experience trauma and not develop PTSD. However, there are many people who experience trauma and don't recognize they have. I am here to work with you through that. I can provide you a safe place to explore the traumatic experiences that are causing you pain, and we can begin to get your life back in order, one piece at a time.

Marley Cote
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, MS
Shame. Pain. Betrayal. Terror. Panic. Disgust. Rage. These are the common emotions that haunt or plague many survivors of (complex) trauma. Trauma can leave survivors feeling fragmented, dehumanized, and paralyzed. These emotions are often only one part of struggling to survive, with flashbacks and trauma responses often frustrating or flooding survivors. Many survivors often wonder if they will ever feel "normal" again after what has happened, if it is even possible to find safety again within and outside of themselves. In my work with survivors, my clients discover what it means to be grounded again within their bodies, to reclaim safety within their bodies, and to release trauma that has limited them for so long.

Emma Esper
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LPCC
Trauma creates profoundly deep and painful wounds. These wounds can be difficult to heal, as we often suppress them, have difficulty expressing them, or do not have safe spaces to unearth them. Unhealed trauma can inform how we make decisions, how we see ourselves, how we see others and our world, and how we react to these things. My work with trauma survivors is to instill hope and self-worth, acknowledge and validate all emotions, create feelings of safety, and provide permission giving for struggle. Remember, it is okay to not be okay.
