Healing is possible, even if it doesn't feel that way right now.
Trauma can leave you feeling disconnected from yourself, stuck in survival mode, or constantly on edge. Whether your experiences were recent or long ago, the impact can show up in your body, relationships, and daily life. Therapy offers a grounded, supportive space to gently process what’s happened and begin healing.
Common Reasons for Seeking Therapy for Trauma
You might be considering therapy if you’re experiencing:
-
Flashbacks, nightmares, or intrusive memories
-
Feeling emotionally numb or shut down
-
Hypervigilance or difficulty relaxing
-
Difficulty trusting others or feeling safe in relationships
-
Sudden emotional reactions or irritability
-
Avoidance of people, places, or thoughts related to past events
Whatever your reason for seeking therapy, we’ll work together to find solutions that work for you.
