Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that can develop after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event, such as: 

• Natural disasters (e.g., earthquakes, floods)

• Acts of violence (e.g., war, assault)

• Serious accidents (e.g., car crashes)

• Personal loss (e.g., death of a loved one) 

PTSD is characterized by persistent and intrusive symptoms, including: 

• Flashbacks: Reliving the traumatic event in vivid detail

• Nightmares: Distressing dreams about the event

• Avoidance: Avoiding thoughts, feelings, or situations related to the trauma

• Hyperarousal: Feeling easily startled, anxious, or on edge

• Negative thoughts and beliefs: Feeling guilty, ashamed, or hopeless

• Changes in mood and behavior: Difficulty sleeping, concentrating, or engaging in activities once enjoyed 

PTSD can have a significant impact on a person's life, affecting relationships, work, and overall well-being.

Sexual trauma therapy provides a safe, compassionate, and trauma-informed space for survivors to process their experiences, reclaim a sense of safety, and rebuild trust in themselves and others. Treatment is tailored to each individual’s needs and may involve evidence-based approaches such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to reprocess distressing memories, Internal Family Systems (IFS) to heal wounded parts of the self, and Somatic Therapy to address the ways trauma is stored in the body. Therapy also incorporates mindfulness and grounding techniques to help regulate emotions and manage triggers, as well as attachment-based and relational healing work to support survivors in navigating intimacy and relationships. The goal is not to force confrontation with the past but to empower survivors to move forward on their terms, fostering resilience, self-compassion, and a renewed sense of agency in their healing journey.

Therapy for familial abuse focuses on helping individuals process the deep emotional wounds caused by harmful family dynamics, whether from physical, emotional, verbal, or psychological abuse, neglect, or manipulation. This type of therapy provides a safe, validating space to explore the impact of these experiences, rebuild self-worth, and establish healthier boundaries. Treatment often integrates Internal Family Systems (IFS) to navigate complex family dynamics and heal wounded parts of the self, Attachment-Based Therapy to address relational trauma and trust issues, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to challenge self-blame and internalized beliefs from an abusive upbringing. Therapy may also include nervous system regulation techniques for those experiencing anxiety, hypervigilance, or emotional dysregulation as a result of past family trauma. Whether you are seeking healing, clarity, or strategies for navigating ongoing family relationships, therapy provides the support and tools to reclaim your sense of safety and self.

Estrangement therapy offers support for individuals who have distanced themselves from family members, former friends, or significant relationships due to toxicity, conflict, or unresolved trauma. Whether the estrangement was a necessary step for emotional well-being or an unwanted separation, therapy helps individuals process grief, guilt, anger, and uncertainty that often accompany the loss of these relationships. Using approaches like Narrative Therapy to reframe personal stories, Attachment-Based Therapy to explore emotional wounds, and Mindfulness and Somatic Practices to regulate distressing emotions, therapy provides a space to find healing and self-acceptance. For those considering reconnection, therapy can also help explore boundaries, communication strategies, and emotional safety measures. No matter where you are in your journey, estrangement therapy supports you in making peace with your decisions, honoring your needs, and finding stability outside of fractured relationships.

Therapy for neglect and attachment trauma focuses on healing the wounds left by inconsistent, absent, or emotionally unavailable caregivers. Early attachment experiences shape how we relate to ourselves and others, and when those experiences are marked by neglect or unmet emotional needs, they can lead to deep-seated fears of abandonment, difficulty trusting others, self-doubt, and struggles with emotional regulation. Treatment often includes Attachment-Based Therapy to explore and repair relational wounds, Internal Family Systems (IFS) to work with the protective and wounded parts of the self, and Somatic Therapy to address the ways attachment trauma is stored in the body. Therapy also supports individuals in building self-compassion, developing secure relationships, and learning how to meet their own emotional needs in healthy ways. Whether you struggle with people-pleasing, emotional numbness, fear of rejection, or difficulty forming deep connections, attachment trauma therapy helps you rewire patterns and develop a stronger, more secure sense of self and relationships.

Breakups, whether romantic, platonic, or the dissolution of a non-traditional relationship, can be deeply painful and even traumatic, especially when they involve betrayal, abandonment, unresolved attachment wounds, or long-term emotional entanglement. Therapy for traumatic breakups and divorce provides a space to process grief, navigate intense emotions, and regain a sense of self after the loss of an important relationship.

Treatment may involve Attachment-Based Therapy to address relational wounds, Internal Family Systems (IFS) to work with the parts of you struggling with loss and identity shifts, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to reframe self-blame and rebuild self-worth. For individuals leaving toxic, codependent, or abusive relationships, therapy also focuses on boundary-setting, healing from manipulation, and reclaiming personal autonomy.

Whether you’re grieving a romantic partner, a close friendship, or a relationship outside of traditional structures, therapy helps you move through the pain, make sense of what happened, and emerge with greater resilience and self-trust.

Abandonment wounds stem from experiences of emotional or physical loss, rejection, or instability in relationships, often originating in childhood but also occurring in adult relationships. These wounds can lead to deep-seated fears of being left, struggles with self-worth, difficulty trusting others, and patterns of emotional dependency or avoidance. Therapy for abandonment wounds provides a safe and supportive space to process these painful experiences and develop a more secure sense of self.

Treatment often includes Attachment-Based Therapy to explore early relational patterns, Internal Family Systems (IFS) to work with the parts of you that hold fear and pain, and Mindfulness & Somatic Practices to help regulate emotional distress and reduce hypervigilance in relationships. Therapy can also help you identify and shift patterns of anxious attachment, people-pleasing, self-sabotage, or emotional withdrawal that stem from abandonment trauma. Whether your wounds stem from childhood neglect, parental loss, past breakups, or relationships that left you feeling unseen and unworthy, therapy supports you in healing, rebuilding self-trust, and developing more secure, fulfilling connections.

Living with or recovering from a serious illness, chronic condition, or medical trauma can leave lasting emotional and psychological effects. Whether you’ve experienced a life-altering diagnosis, invasive medical procedures, long-term hospitalizations, or the emotional toll of chronic illness, therapy provides a space to process the trauma, grief, and fear that often accompany these experiences.

Treatment may include Somatic Therapy to address how medical trauma is stored in the body, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to process distressing medical experiences, and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) to help manage ongoing symptoms and anxiety. Narrative Therapy can also be useful in reshaping your relationship with your body and identity beyond your diagnosis. For those navigating medical gaslighting, disability stigma, or the impact of illness on relationships and daily life, therapy helps foster self-advocacy, emotional resilience, and a renewed sense of agency. Whether you are a patient, survivor, or caregiver, illness and disease-related trauma therapy provides support in making peace with your body, coping with uncertainty, and finding ways to live fully in the present.

Being a witness to violence, whether in public, at home, in the workplace, or through a large-scale tragedy, can have profound psychological and emotional effects. Even if you were not directly harmed, witnessing violence can create feelings of helplessness, fear, survivor’s guilt, hypervigilance, and persistent anxiety. Whether you've observed street violence, domestic abuse, natural disasters, accidents, war, or other traumatic events, your mind and body may still be processing the impact.

Therapy for witnessing harm focuses on helping you regain a sense of safety, process intrusive thoughts or flashbacks, and reduce feelings of powerlessness or fear. Treatment may involve EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to help reprocess distressing memories, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address anxious thoughts and triggers, and Somatic Therapy to regulate nervous system responses like hypervigilance and panic. If witnessing harm has led to avoidance behaviors, emotional numbness, or difficulties trusting others, therapy provides a space to work through these reactions and rebuild confidence in your sense of security. Whether the experience was recent or occurred long ago, therapy helps you process what you saw, understand its emotional impact, and move forward without being defined by the trauma.

Experiencing bullying or harassment—whether in childhood, the workplace, social settings, or online—can have lasting emotional and psychological effects. Repeated humiliation, exclusion, verbal abuse, or physical threats can lead to low self-worth, chronic anxiety, difficulty trusting others, and persistent fear of rejection or conflict. Even after the bullying stops, its impact can linger, affecting self-esteem, relationships, and emotional well-being.

Therapy for bullying and harassment focuses on helping you process the pain of these experiences, rebuild confidence, and develop healthier coping strategies. Treatment may include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to challenge internalized negative beliefs, Internal Family Systems (IFS) to heal wounded parts of the self, and Somatic Therapy to address the ways these experiences may be stored in the body. Therapy can also support individuals in setting boundaries, improving self-advocacy skills, and breaking free from patterns of avoidance or people-pleasing that may have developed as a result of bullying or harassment. Whether you’ve experienced school bullying, workplace harassment, cyberbullying, or social exclusion, therapy provides a validating and empowering space to heal and reclaim your sense of self.

Losing a loved one is always painful, but when grief is accompanied by trauma—whether due to a sudden death, an accident, suicide, medical complications, violence, or unresolved relationship dynamics—the grieving process can feel overwhelming and disorienting. Traumatic loss can leave individuals struggling with shock, guilt, regret, intrusive thoughts, emotional numbness, and difficulty processing the reality of what happened. Unlike traditional grief, traumatic loss often disrupts a person’s sense of safety and control, making it harder to move through the natural stages of mourning.

Therapy for grief and traumatic loss provides a safe, compassionate space to process the pain, honor your loss, and learn how to integrate the experience into your life without being consumed by it. Treatment may include EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to help process distressing memories, Narrative Therapy to make sense of the loss, and Somatic Therapy to address the physical toll of grief. For those struggling with survivor’s guilt, complicated grief, or difficulty expressing emotions, therapy offers guidance in finding ways to remember, heal, and move forward while still honoring the person you lost. Whether your loss was recent or years ago, therapy can help you navigate the emotional complexities of grief while finding ways to reconnect with life.

Living in a world where systemic oppression, discrimination, and injustice are persistent can create deep emotional wounds that impact mental health and well-being. Societal trauma can stem from racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, fatphobia, classism, religious discrimination, or other forms of marginalization. These experiences often lead to chronic stress, anxiety, depression, hypervigilance, feelings of powerlessness, and internalized shame or self-doubt. Whether you’ve faced direct harm, generational trauma, or the exhaustion of constantly navigating systems that do not prioritize your safety and well-being, the emotional toll is real and valid.

Therapy for societal trauma and oppression provides a space to process these experiences, validate your emotions, and develop tools for resilience and healing. Treatment may include Narrative Therapy to explore the impact of oppression on your personal story, Somatic Therapy to release the stress stored in your body, and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to work through the ways trauma manifests internally. Therapy also supports individuals in boundary-setting, self-advocacy, and reclaiming a sense of empowerment and self-worth in the face of systemic harm. Whether you're dealing with workplace discrimination, community violence, generational trauma, or the exhaustion of navigating oppressive structures, therapy provides a space to heal, feel seen, and build the strength to move forward in alignment with your authentic self.

Experiencing a car accident or a severe physical injury can have lasting emotional and psychological effects, even long after the body has healed. Survivors often struggle with flashbacks, panic attacks, hypervigilance, nightmares, and a persistent sense of fear or lack of control. Physical injuries can also lead to chronic pain, mobility challenges, or changes in body function, further impacting self-esteem, independence, and emotional well-being. Whether the accident was recent or occurred years ago, unresolved trauma can manifest as anxiety while driving, avoidance of certain situations, or ongoing distress related to the event.

Therapy for car accident and physical injury trauma helps individuals process the emotional impact of the experience, reduce fear responses, and regain a sense of safety and confidence. Treatment may involve EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to reprocess distressing memories, Somatic Therapy to help release trauma stored in the body, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address avoidance behaviors and anxious thought patterns. Therapy can also assist with adjusting to physical changes, coping with chronic pain, and rebuilding trust in one's body.

Whether you’re struggling with PTSD from the accident, lingering fears, or frustration over physical limitations, therapy provides the support needed to heal and regain a sense of control over your life.
