Working Through Trauma
Let’s face it: some of us carry heavier loads from our past than others. Maybe your heavy load is from an unhealthy or toxic relationship, unthinkable sexual abuse, or wounds from being raised in a destructive environment. Frequently people downplay their trauma by saying, “It wasn’t that bad,” or “There are people who had it worse.” Still others may say things like, “I don’t even think about that anymore.”
What we often see in therapy is a degree of unknown impact of the trauma on your present life. You may not see how it’s affecting you, but others around you can see it. People who have had a lot of trauma tend to be great at storing trauma away but never addressing it. Instead, they create defense mechanisms to get through their daily life.
While all of this may sound overwhelming, a treatment that has been proven effective for bringing healing and freedom to people with trauma history is called EMDR Therapy/Counseling.
It isn’t a quick process but lasting change never is.

How do we handle payment?
Payment is due at the time of service. While you have the option of paying cash, most clients keep a credit card on file which is automatically charged for each session. Sessions canceled with more than 24 hours notice are canceled with no fee. Sessions canceled within 24 hours of our session time will be charged your therapist’s full session fee.
