TRAUMA THERAPY
Far-Reaching Effects
Unfortunately, many people experience trauma in their lives, and it can have a profound impact on their mental health and emotional wellbeing. Trauma can stem from a variety of events, including crimes, sexual abuse, accidents, and more. These experiences often produce unhealthy and distressing feelings such as survivor's guilt, fear, and issues with trust.
Therapeutic Support
As a licensed clinical social worker, I work with trauma victims to help them improve their day-to-day functioning and integrate their traumatic experience into a meaningful part of their lives. I understand that healing from trauma is a difficult journey, and I provide a safe and compassionate space for my clients to process their emotions and work toward recovery.
When working with trauma victims, I use the Chinese symbols for the word "crisis" (danger & opportunity) to illustrate that within every crisis, there is an opportunity for growth and healing. My goal is to help my clients see the possibility for positive change within their trauma and to help them find ways to use their experience as a catalyst for personal growth and transformation.
trau·ma
ˈtroumə,ˈtrômə/
noun
a deeply distressing or disturbing experience.
Our Approach:
I utilize evidence-based therapeutic modalities such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness techniques, and trauma-focused therapy to help my clients overcome the negative effects of their trauma. Together, we work through distressing emotions, learn new coping mechanisms, and develop strategies to move forward in a positive direction.
If you or someone you know has experienced trauma, seeking support from a licensed clinical social worker can be incredibly beneficial. Please, reach out to schedule an appointment. Remember, recovery is possible, and healing is a journey that requires patience, compassion, and support. With the right care and guidance, trauma survivors can find hope and meaning in their experiences, and begin to live a fulfilling and joyful life once again.
