OUR SPECIALTIES
Therapy to address sexual violence in a supportive & safe space
Traumatic events can leave you feeling stuck in that moment. It is common to feel disconnected from your body, a loss of agency, guilt or shame, and to not know why you are feeling the way that you are. Without a safe space to process how the event(s) has impacted your life, you may be struggling to trust or have any kind of emotional intimacy with people you care about.
Therapy will meet you where you are in your journey. Your therapist will listen and hear your story compassionately and help you process the traumatic event. Healing looks different for everyone and we are here to support exploring what healing can look like for you. As trauma experts, our therapists are trained in different modalities to process trauma including EMDR.
