Trauma
Many individuals can experience symptoms associated with painful and traumatic circumstances. Anxiety, fear, and hopelessness are a few emotions that can linger post traumatic events. We can help you overcome these symptoms and guide you through the process of grief and healing.
Trauma can be anything that happens in your life that has a lasting impact and causes deep distress. This trauma can be personal to oneself or through repeated exposure. There is no right or wrong way to think, feel, and respond to a traumatic event. Therapy can help individuals build resilience in relation to the trauma.
