Frequently Asked Questions

What is trauma?

Trauma is a deeply distressing or disturbing experience that overwhelms an individual’s ability to cope. It can happen in response to a single event, or a series of events, and can have an emotional, physical, and psychological impact. Trauma can effect people of all ages, genders, and backgrounds, and can manifest in a variety of ways.

What is trauma informed care?

We are committed to providing trauma informed care to our clients. This approach emphasizes safety, empowerment, and collaboration in order to create a healing environment for those who have experienced trauma. We believe that everyone deserves to live a fulfilling life, regardless of their past experiences. If you're struggling with the effects of trauma, we're here to help.

What are trauma specific interventions?

We understand the impact that trauma can have on an individual's well-being. That's why we specialize in trauma informed care, which is a holistic approach that recognizes the unique experiences of each person and empowers them on their path towards healing and recovery.

Who would benefit from trauma informed care?

Trauma informed care is a form of therapy that can help those who have experienced traumatic events in their lives. This type of care is especially beneficial for people who have experienced abuse, neglect, and other forms of trauma. It can help them to better understand the impact of trauma on their lives and how to cope with it. Trauma informed care can also help to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues related to trauma.

EMDR

EMDR or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is a type of therapy that helps people recover from trauma-related symptoms by addressing the traumatic memories stored in the brain. It is an evidence based, integrative psychotherapy that uses bilateral eye movements or other forms of bilateral stimulation to help the brain process traumatic memories and reduce their impact.
