I provide specialized care for individuals impacted by trauma and PTSD, creating a safe and compassionate space where healing can begin.

My approach combines evidence-based therapies, such as cognitive-behavioral and narrative techniques, with a deep understanding of each client’s unique experiences.

Trauma and PTSD
Tara Thompson
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
Experiencing trauma/PTSD can really affect people with addictions, relationship problems, or depression. For example, someone who's been through a tough experience might start using drugs or alcohol to cope. Trauma/PTSD can also make relationships harder and can make depression worse. To help someone dealing with this concern, I'd create a caring environment, listen to them, and suggest healthy ways to cope.
