Trauma & PTSD
Trauma doesn’t define you.
We honor the complexity of trauma in all its forms—including childhood trauma, systemic oppression, loss, abuse, and violence. Whether your trauma was recent or long ago, we’re here to help you feel safe in your body, your relationships, and your daily life.
Types of Trauma-Related Conditions We Treat:
- Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) – following life-threatening or deeply distressing experiences
- Acute Stress Disorder – intense stress responses occurring within the first month of trauma
- Adjustment Disorders – difficulty coping with major life changes (e.g., divorce, illness, job loss)
- Childhood Trauma – early emotional wounds that impact adult mental health and relationships
Common Symptoms of Trauma & PTSD:
- Nightmares or flashbacks
- Emotional numbness or hypervigilance
- Avoidance of reminders or triggers
- Difficulty trusting others
- Irritability, anger, or exaggerated startle response
- Mood swings or dissociation
- Sleep disturbances or body tension
You are not broken. Trauma responses are human responses to unbearable events. With the right care, healing is possible.
Our Trauma-Informed Approach:
We approach trauma with sensitivity, consent, and respect for your pace. Your treatment may include:
- Medication support to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, or sleep disturbance
- Therapy referrals for EMDR, trauma-focused CBT, or somatic therapies
- Stress regulation and grounding techniques
- Collaboration with your therapist or care team if applicable
Your story matters—and healing is possible. Let us support you in reclaiming safety, strength, and peace.
