Is your past keeping you from enjoying your present?
Maybe you just can’t take anymore, or perhaps your symptoms are starting to bleed into all the other areas of your life. You may be struggling just to get through each day or perhaps you’re feeling like its hopeless that anything could even improve.
You might even wonder if you have trauma because your experiences aren’t war or violence. However, things like abandonment, rejection, or betrayal can cause these symptoms too.
Whatever the specific symptoms, you’re beginning to notice the impact of this in every facet of your life:
Struggling with daily feelings of anxiety, depression, or both
Isolating yourself because you can’t trust others
Sleeping too much or unable to fall asleep even when you’re exhausted
Concentrating feels difficult to impossible most days
Finding yourself often irritated at others or yourself
Worrying that the other shoe will drop at any time
Feeling on edge or like you can never relax
Drowning your problems in alcohol, drugs, or shopping but even that doesn’t help anymore
It may feel impossible right now but you can move past what happened to you and your current symptoms. You can enjoy your life and feel happier and we can help get you there.

Frequently asked questions
Q: What is trauma therapy like?
A: Trauma therapy will start with just talking about what’s been going on with you so that your therapist can get a solid understanding of what you’ve been struggling with. Then, together with your therapist, you’ll develop a plan that addresses the unique issues you’re dealing with and helps you meet your goals. Throughout the entire process, we are here to support you on your journey to a happier and more fulfilling life. We won’t push you past where you’re ready to go and will move at the speed that’s comfortable for you.
Q: How long do I need to be in therapy?
A: This all depends on your needs, your goals, and the amount of effort you’re willing and able to put in between sessions. Trauma therapy is often a long-term investment that pays off in a big way. We will always prioritize your wants and needs and address the biggest issues you’re facing first to help you get relief as fast as possible. Most clients start noticing major changes within 20-40 sessions.
Q: How do I know if trauma therapy can work for me?
A: While we can’t guarantee results, trauma therapy has come a long way in the last 10 years or so and there are multiple, evidence-based therapies that can help. If you’re motivated to change and willing to put in the work, we are confident we can get you there.
Q: How do I get started?
A: If you’re ready to work with us, then fill out our new client inquiry below. This will help us to match you with the right-fit therapist (or refer you to another therapist if we’re not a good fit.) Afterwards, you will complete our online intake process where you will sign the necessary consents and fill out some assessments to begin giving us an idea of what you’re struggling with. After, you will schedule your first appointment right in our client portal, meet with one of our amazing therapists, and begin your journey to healing and a better life.
