Heal and Find Hope Through Trauma Therapy
Are You or a Loved One Struggling to Heal From Trauma?
Experiencing trauma can leave deep emotional scars that affect your sense of safety, relationships, and ability to navigate daily life. Do you or your child feel stuck in patterns of fear, avoidance, or overwhelm? Are intrusive thoughts, flashbacks, or emotional numbness making it difficult to heal?
For children and teens, trauma can manifest as changes in behavior, difficulty concentrating, or challenges in connecting with peers and caregivers. As an adult, you may feel burdened by shame, self-blame, or a sense of disconnection from yourself and others.
Whether the trauma stems from abuse, neglect, loss, or a sudden life event, therapy offers a safe space to process your experiences, rebuild resilience, and move forward with greater confidence and peace.
What Trauma Can Look Like in Different Ages
Trauma affects people in unique ways depending on their age and stage of life.
- Children:
- Behavioral changes like aggression, withdrawal, or regressive behaviors (e.g., bedwetting).
- Difficulty forming secure attachments or trusting caregivers.
- Physical symptoms such as stomachaches or headaches without a medical cause.
- Teens:
- Risk-taking behaviors, self-harm, or substance use.
- Struggles with identity, self-esteem, and peer relationships.
- Emotional numbness or difficulty managing anger and sadness.
- Adults:
- Persistent anxiety, depression, or PTSD symptoms.
- Difficulty maintaining relationships or boundaries.
- Chronic feelings of guilt, shame, or helplessness.
Trauma therapy provides age-appropriate tools to address these symptoms and foster healing.
