Trauma

Traumatic events—such as an accident, assault, military combat or natural disaster—can have lasting effects on a person’s mental health. While many people will have short term responses to life-threatening events, some will develop longer term symptoms that can lead to a diagnosis of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). PTSD symptoms often co-exist with other conditions such as substance use disorders, depression and anxiety. 

We collaborate with clients in healing:

  • Acute trauma

  • Chronic Trauma

  • Complex Trauma

  • Developmental Trauma

  • Vicarious Trauma

  • Sexual Truma
