The idea of starting therapy can be daunting, especially for trauma survivors. We understand that it’s a HUGE ask for you to be willing share your story because trusting others hasn’t always come easy. Feelings of guilt, shame, mistrust often prevent people from getting the support they need. Therapy can be a useful tool in healing from your traumatic past and reclaiming your life.

We want you to know that post-traumatic growth is possible.
