Trauma

There are many ways to define trauma such as physical injury which involves trauma to the body and often requires therapy of a physical nature to heal, and sometimes counseling therapy to heal the mind. There are emotional and physical traumas such as intimate partner violence, child abuse, sexual assault which often require counseling therapy to heal the mind and sometimes require some physical therapy to heal the body. Then there are developmental/attachment traumas which occur in the first 18 years of life and can create difficulty in forming and maintaining relationships. These require counseling therapy to help heal the mind and often movement of some sort such as yoga to help re-connect the body and mind.

The Trauma Wellness Center focuses on the counseling therapy to address all of those types of trauma. We have counselors who specialize in many areas including but not limited to: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, Addiction fueled by trauma, Grief, Intimate Partner Violence, Sexual Assault, Vicarious Trauma with First Responders, Fertility struggles, Trauma-Informed Yoga, Play Therapy, Sandtray Therapy, among others.

Trauma is something that happens to us which is out of the norm but our reactions to that abnormal situation(s) are actually very normal. We are designed to function in ways that are most protective of us in those moments.
