Trauma

Psychotherapy for trauma and PTSD resolves distressing symptoms and nurtures a sense of control over your life. Trauma occurs when someone is overwhelmed by a situation perceived to be life threatening. He/she is left feeling helpless and out of control. Afterwards, the individual may react like the trauma is still occurring even though the threat may be long past. Symptoms may include panic attacks, obsessive behaviors or thinking, anxiety, phobias, sleep disturbances, tremors, hypervigilance, and dissociation. In dealing with the effects of trauma, we work together to help reprocess these automatic responses and bring a sense of empowerment and choice to your life.
