Trauma Therapy & PTSD Therapy

Have you ever been through a difficult or disturbing event that made you feel overwhelmed, helpless, and out of control? If you have, the stressful situation may have caused trauma. Trauma can affect you by leaving you with upsetting emotions, anxieties, and memories that just won't go away.

Traumatic experiences can lead to feelings of disconnection, trust issues, and emotional numbness. As human beings, we all face difficulties and challenges in life, but we all respond to them differently. If you have been affected by traumatic stress, it is important to prioritize your healing process to regain a healthy balance. Although trauma and stress can be difficult to overcome, they do not have to have a lasting impact on your life.
