PTSD/Trauma
Shareen Birges
Registered Social Worker, BASS, GDYMH, MSW
I have an extensive background in trauma through my work with young people & adults around sexual abuse/assault, domestic violence & childhood trauma/neglect. My trauma informed practice gives me the basis for understanding & supporting people through trauma. My experience has helped me to understand that trauma is a very unique & individualized experience. For some people, trauma can appear small or unimportant (like a car accident) however to me, all trauma is experienced by the individual as traumatic for them, so whether it is perceived by others as small or unimportant it is important, & valid, for the person for whom the experience was traumatic. I have found that this understanding has been vital in my trauma work & has helped me to support people with all types of trauma. Building the therapeutic relationship, again, is important in this work to create a collaborative, safe & comfortable environment for my clients to share & heal.

Trauma affects both mind and body, and my integrated approach addresses both. Through Sensorimotor Psychotherapy and Hakomi, we'll work with how trauma is held in your nervous system and body, allowing natural healing to occur at a safe pace. IFS helps us understand how different parts of you were affected by trauma while strengthening your Self to provide internal safety and leadership.

I am a trauma-informed psychotherapist having completed training through Bessel Van der Kolk’s “The Body Keeps the Score” workshops and the Polyvagal Institute around neuroscience and trauma and healing.
I provide a safe, relational, mindbody approach to help women in the processing and integrating traumas such as childhood developmental trauma, emotional or psychological abuse, or significant events, memories or losses that linger long after the incident occurred.
