When It Feels Like Too Much

Trauma can feel like a shadow that's always lurking

It's there in the aftermath of sexual trauma, the painful memories of sex trafficking, the scars of childhood abuse, and the haunting experience of an accident that runs on replay in your head. 

These aren't just stories; they're realities that can make every day feel like an uphill battle. 

It's about dealing with those moments that have left deep marks, and sometimes, it feels like they're dictating your whole life.

Turning Points

Through trauma-focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) we begin to untangle those complex, hard thoughts. 

It's about decreasing the hold they have on you, understanding how they influence your pain and replacing self-deprecating thoughts with healthier ones.

Imagine feeling relief instead of constant self-blame, feeling safe in public spaces, interacting with other humans without the weight of anxiety, and finally feeling comfortable in your own skin.

It's about taking those brave steps, like driving to therapy after relying on video sessions following an accident. Progress is there, waiting.
