Trauma Therapy
Reclaim Your Mental Health
Car accidents, sexual or emotional abuse, domestic violence, disasters, school shootings, and unexpected deaths are the main causes of PTSD among children, adolescents, teens, and adults. Experiences like these can impair your emotional functioning, debilitating your capacity to live a normal life, to find joy, to learn and to feel safe.
No one should have to go through the crippling anxiety and stress that trauma brings you. There is hope; take matters in your own hands, reach out to us today and reclaim your mental health.
PTSD: Under-Recognized, Under-Diagnosed
This has a direct relationship with post traumatic stress disorder and is also one of the reasons why this mental illness often flies under the radar.
