Christina Shore Best Therapies Inc.
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, DMT
As a trauma informed practitioner I know that it is essential that each individual locate their own unique path towards healing and integration. It requires a lot of work to explore the relationship between inner sensations, emotions, thoughts, and actions. Even bringing awareness to this can be life altering so building resources and self-compassion can be an important foundation to work from. I let the client lead, as you are the expert on yourself, while I provide support, guidance, and reflection so that the therapeutic container can be sturdy enough to lean on and to build trust within.
