Trauma & Recovery

Nearly 8 million Americans suffer from trauma. It can happen to anyone at any age. It may happen immediately following a traumatic event or it may not happen until years later. 

When you go through a traumatic experience, it's normal to feel fear, helplessness, anger, guilt, and even shame. These feelings may subside after some time but sometimes they do not. Instead these troubling emotions don’t subside or occur unexpectedly at some unsuspecting moment. You may experience re-occurring memories, nightmares, an inability to sleep, depression, a need to always be aware of your environment, or have a sense of impending doom or danger. These symptoms are a result of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).

You can recover from traumatic experiences. An experienced therapist can guide you through proven techniques that can relieve your symptoms so that you can return to a normal life.
