Trauma informed treatment.
Trauma-informed psychotherapy is a therapeutic approach that focuses on understanding and addressing the impact of trauma on an individual's mental and emotional well-being. This type of therapy takes into account the experiences of a person's past trauma, as well as how it may affect their behavior and thought patterns in the present.
By creating a safe and supportive space, trauma-informed psychotherapy allows individuals to process their traumatic experiences and learn healthy coping mechanisms. Some benefits of this approach include increased self-awareness, improved relationships, and a decrease in symptoms of trauma-related disorders.

Frequently asked questions:
-How do I know that it is the right time to start therapy?
Anytime, would be my answer. I believe that everyone can find something beneficial from therapy sessions, either its brief counseling about goalsetting and day-to day support or a long term deep self-exploration and healing.
-How should I know if this therapist is a right fit for me?
I believe it’s important to listen to your own self when you are starting the treatment.
Do you to feel like you can be yourself completely? Do you feel heard and accepted? Is the approach your therapist using addressing your needs?
Even a good therapist might not be a good fit for you, and it's important to figure that out.
-How do I know that therapy works?
Short answer - you feel better.
Therapy may be working if you feel you do not need to be seen as regularly, your problems do not feel as urgent, and you are able to cope on your own. But it’s important to remember that it can take a long time to get to this point, and that’s okay.
