Abuse & Trauma Services

We all experience a major life event at some time in our life. This can be as simple as a birth or a death. Sometimes these events occur at a crucial time in childhood or adulthood. We often believe that no one would understand or would have experienced similar events that may occur during ones lifetime. 

These life events many times move us to alter our approach or coping skills. We often create stories or beliefs that may lead to unhealthy relationships, anxiety, depression, substance use, or addiction or result in (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) PTSD.

We have extensive training and experience in the field of trauma resolution and can assist you to overcome fears and strong emotional experiences associated with trauma. Our solution-focused approach can design steps to move you toward small or large changes for a healthier approach with life.
