Complex trauma refers to experiences of repeated trauma, often in childhood. These chronic experiences of trauma are often perpetrated by someone who is in a position of power, someone who we both depend on for survival and who is also terrifying. Treatment provides comprehensive support for individuals who have experienced long-term and multifaceted traumatic events, fostering healing and resilience.

PTSD can develop from single event traumatic experiences or chronic, long term interpersonal trauma. Evidenced-based therapies are tailored to address the unique needs of individuals with post-traumatic stress disorder, promoting recovery and restoring quality of life.

Depression can feel different for different people. In general, depression feels like the world has lost color. It can be difficult to find anything meaningful. This can result in lack of motivation, low mood, difficulty experiencing pleasant emotions, poor sleep, and difficulty concentrating. Therapy empowers individuals experiencing depression by assisting them in finding meaning, balance, and renewed engagement in their lives.

Anxiety is that feeling of dread, like at any moment something terrible might happen. Anxiety often comes up because there are thoughts and feelings that we are trying to avoid or don’t know how to make sense of. Therapy supports individuals in exploring their anxiety and the underlying experiences that support/drive the anxiety. The focus is not on getting rid of anxiety but instead allowing it to come along in our pocket as we refocus our attention on what really matters to us. The paradox is that the more we try to get rid of anxiety, the greater the anxiety becomes. As we let go of the struggle against anxiety, and pivot our attention toward meaningful, values-based parts of ourselves and our lives, the smaller anxiety becomes. Therapy focuses on helping you increase your ability to accept experience, ground in the present moment, and live in a way that is consistent with your values.

Personality disorders most often arise out of complex, childhood trauma. They are a way of being in the world that enabled people to survive terror and helplessness. Those ways of being become barriers when we try to build a life outside of trauma. We suddenly find that that way of being no longer works in the new life we are building or want to build. Therapy focuses on a deeper exploration of who you want to be in this world, narratives that create barriers, and narratives that are health promoting and will support the life you want to build for yourself.

Relationships and authentic connection are essential for healthy living. And while relationships bring meaning and joy, they can also be immensely challenging. Therapy offers guidance and tools to navigate relational challenges, promoting healthier connections and enhancing overall well-being.

Spiritual abuse may present itself in many forms and can be present in any system of belief. I programs provide a safe space to address the profound impact of spiritual abuse, restoring inner strength and fostering spiritual well-being. The goal of recovery from spiritual abuse is to reclaim your own meaning making system, learn to trust your judgment again (or for the first time), and build self-compassion.

Extremism and cultic groups are characterized by a form of leadership that co-ops reality with the use of coercive control. Therapy, education, support groups, and consultation services support individuals affected by extremism or cult involvement, facilitating increased understanding of cultic dynamics and mechanisms of control. Therapy aims to deconstruct the dominant narrative of the group and rebuild a narrative that reclaims your sense of agency and your identity. For those raised in cultic groups, it may be building a sense of self for the first time.

Education and consultation services provide guidance and support to families navigating the challenges of having a loved one in a cult, fostering understanding of cult dynamics and the unique approaches needed to support your loved one.
