Sometimes life throws us a curve-ball that we just didn't expect. Whatever the curve-ball is, either large or small, it is common to cause anxiety, even if it is something exciting. If your curve-ball is something that isn't so exciting, maybe you feel traumatized. This can happen for any situation that causes disruption to your daily routine, your thinking and ultimately your ability to function at your full potential. Whatever your anxiety or trauma is about, we can help! We are a team of therapists that work extensively with anxiety provoking issues. These could be about relationships, life events, or any negative experience that is holding you back. If you are struggling with moving past a traumatic incident, or finding it difficult to overcome anxiety of any sort, please contact us. We will have one of our experienced therapists contact you as soon as possible. We look forward to hearing from you!


Healing from Trauma

Trauma can profoundly impact one's life, manifesting in various ways:

  1. Flashbacks and Intrusive Thoughts: Repeatedly reliving distressing memories or experiences.

  2. Emotional Instability: Intense mood swings, anxiety, or panic attacks.

  3. Avoidance and Isolation: Stepping away from triggers or withdrawing from social situations.

  4. Physical Symptoms: Insomnia, fatigue, and other stress-related physical conditions.

  5. Hyperarousal: Constantly feeling on edge, hypervigilant, or easily startled.

Approaches to Trauma Therapy

  1. Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT): Addresses distorted thought patterns and coping mechanisms related to trauma.

  2. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR): Focuses on reprocessing traumatic memories to reduce their impact.

  3. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): Helps in managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal relationships.

  4. Exposure Therapy: Gradual exposure to trauma-related stimuli in a safe environment.

Seeking help for trauma can be a pivotal step towards healing and reclaiming your life:

  1. Professional Guidance: Reach out to licensed therapists or trauma specialists experienced in trauma recovery.

  2. Support Networks: Engage with support groups or online communities where individuals share similar experiences.

  3. Self-Care Practices: Incorporate self-soothing activities like meditation, yoga, or artistic expression.

  4. Emergency Assistance: If in crisis, contact helplines or emergency services immediately for immediate support. Crisis hotline: 1-888-724-7240

Healing from trauma is a journey that requires courage, but you don’t have to travel it alone.
