Trauma/PTSD

Healing is possible. You don't have to carry the weight of trauma alone.

Experiencing trauma can change the way you see yourself, others, and the world around you. Even long after a difficult experience has passed, its effects may continue to show up in your thoughts, emotions, relationships, and daily life.

You don't have to have all the answers to take the first step. We're here to help.

Trauma can affect everyone differently.

There is no single way to experience or respond to trauma. What feels overwhelming or life-changing to one person may look different for another. Trauma can result from a single event, ongoing experiences, or difficult circumstances earlier in life.

Some experiences that may lead to trauma include:

  • Childhood experiences
  • Abuse or neglect
  • Loss or grief
  • Accidents or serious injuries
  • Experiencing or witnessing violence
  • Medical experiences
  • Natural disasters
  • Difficult relationships or life events
  • Other experiences that leave you feeling unsafe, overwhelmed, or deeply affected

Sometimes the effects of trauma are immediate. Other times, they may not become noticeable until much later.

You deserve care that meets you where you are.
