Trauma is not just what happened to you. It is what happened inside you as a result — the ways your nervous system adapted to survive an experience that felt overwhelming, threatening, or unbearable. Trauma therapy helps you process those experiences so they stop running your present.

Types of Trauma We Treat

• Childhood trauma — abuse, neglect, household dysfunction
• Racial trauma and race-based traumatic stress
• Community violence and collective trauma
• Sexual assault and intimate partner violence
• Medical trauma
• Grief and traumatic loss
• Complex PTSD — the result of prolonged, repeated trauma
• Intergenerational trauma passed down through families

Our Approach

We use evidence-based trauma treatments including Trauma-Focused CBT, EMDR, and somatic approaches — all adapted for the specific cultural context of BIPOC clients. We understand that for many people of color, trauma is not a single event in the past but an ongoing reality that requires a different therapeutic framework.

Safety First

Trauma therapy moves at your pace. We never push you to revisit experiences before you have the internal resources to do so safely. The first phase of trauma work is always stabilization — building the skills and safety needed to process what happened without being overwhelmed by it.
