Therapy services
Trauma & PTSD
Support for difficult experiences and the ways they may continue to affect the present.
Understanding what brings you in
The impact of trauma can show up in many ways.
After a traumatic or overwhelming experience, responses that once helped you cope may now feel disruptive or exhausting. The body and mind can keep reacting even after immediate danger has passed.
Therapy can provide a steady place to understand these responses while seeing you as more than what happened. You do not need to share every detail before you are ready.
Experiences and concerns
You may be noticing
- Feeling on guard, tense, or easily startled
- Avoiding reminders, places, conversations, or emotions
- Intrusive memories, distressing dreams, or strong reactions to reminders
- Feeling numb, disconnected, or far away from yourself
- Shame, self-blame, or difficulty trusting
- Physical responses that seem hard to explain or settle
How counseling may help
A paced and collaborative approach
Lisa pays attention to emotions, body cues, and the importance of trust in therapy. The work may begin with understanding current responses and finding ways to feel more connected to the present.
Therapy may incorporate EMDR, Internal Family Systems concepts, mindfulness, or somatic awareness when helpful. No single approach is required, and the pace should fit your needs.
