We are trained in trauma focused therapies, primarily Prolonged Exposure. This is a behavior and experiential evidence-based treatment for all types of trauma. Traumatic invalidation and chronic PTSD are two specialties within the realm of trauma that our team has particular expertise. PE-DBT is especially helpful for those seeking freedom from their suffering and experiencing emotions in more effective and meaningful ways.
Trauma and PTSD exist because of explicit and implicit memory of events that are out of the ordinary. Therapy explores the connection to both in a safe environment. Symptoms arise from these experiences that can be debilitating and exhausting. Sorting out these connections lead to healing.

Trauma is an emotional and psychological response to an event. This event could be something you experienced personally or something you witnessed. Your experience could include shock, denial, unpredictable emotions, flashbacks, nightmares, strained relationships and even physical symptoms like headaches or nausea. There is no reason to continue experiencing this alone. Contact me and we can discuss ways to get feeling like you're back in control and no longer suffering.
