Counseling for Trauma

CREATING SPACE FOR COMMUNICATION & CONNECTION

A painful experience can leave long lasting emotional wounds

Even after you think you’ve healed and moved on, the effects of that painful experience can still impact you.

You may be experiencing difficulties in your relationships or with trusting those around you. Maybe it comes on suddenly as you feel your heart racing or get an upset stomach. You may have had these feelings since childhood or it might be something that recently happened to you. 

Through therapy, you can begin to process memories that have become stuck in your mind or body. You’ll begin to find a sense of wholeness as you are no longer stuck reliving your past, but can fully enjoy your present.

“How do I know if what I’m experiencing is trauma?”

Trauma is a distressing experience that results in long lasting effects. If you had a painful event or series of events in your life that has left a long lasting impact on you, then you could be experiencing trauma. 

Trauma is unique to you. There is no ranking or classification system because what may be an “easy-to-handle” experience for one person could leave enduring emotional wounds for another. Even if an event didn’t feel “traumatic” at the time or “traumatic enough”, it could still be affecting how you live and enjoy your life.

You do not have to be defined by this experience forever.

Therapy for trauma can help you:

  • Trust yourself again

  • Improve your relationships with yourself and those around you

  • Feel in control and reconnected with your emotions  

  • Identify the patterns in your life that you want to change 

  • Regain your sense of purpose
