Trauma & Post-traumatic Stress (PTSD)
A Safe Space to Work Through and Heal From Trauma
Trauma treatment is focused on individuals who are struggling after experiencing disruptive life event(s). My work is guided by scientifically-proven principles and each client is treated uniquely based on their individual goals, preferences, backgrounds, and trauma presentation.
Trauma includes both one-time events and repeated experiences, and they may have happened at any time of life. They may cause symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) such as unwanted memories of the events or avoidance of reminders of the events. Or, they may result in other issues such as anxiety, depression, difficulty managing powerful emotions, substance misuse, or relationship problems. Examples of these life-altering events include:
Exposure to trauma in the line of duty
Experiences in War/Conflict
Domestic or interpersonal violence
Childhood maltreatment and neglect
Sexual assault / unwanted sexual experiences
Harassment
Physical assault
Traumatic physical or brain injury
Life-changing medical conditions
Identity (e.g. race) – Based Trauma
Intergenerational Trauma
Sudden death of a loved one (including companion animals or pets)
Transportation or motor vehicle accident
