What Is Trauma?
Trauma is a response to experiencing or witnessing distressing or overwhelming events. Traumatic experiences affect everyone differently and can be challenging to navigate, and the healing process is also unique to each individual. Some common causes of trauma include:
Childhood neglect or abuse
Loss of a loved one
Physical or emotional violence
Car accidents or medical trauma
Ongoing stress from unhealthy relationships
Symptoms of trauma may show up as:
Feeling anxious, on edge, or overwhelmed
Emotional numbness or disconnection
Anger or irritability
Trouble trusting others or forming close relationships
Re-experiencing distressing memories or flashbacks
People with trauma often share a common need to feel safe, understood, and supported. A therapist’s role is to help you gently explore your experiences, thoughts, and emotions in a compassionate space to help you heal.
How Trauma Counseling Works
Confronting trauma can feel overwhelming, and we meet every client with curiosity and care. Our therapists establish trust in a safe, grounded space where individuals can speak freely and move at their own pace. We use evidence-based approaches to help clients reprocess traumatic memories and examine how trauma impacts both the mind and the body. These methods support cognitive, emotional, and physical healing.
