We can help with:

  • C-PTSD

    Complex trauma often stems from prolonged exposure to trauma, particularly during critical developmental periods such as childhood. The impact can often times affect how you think, feel, and relate to yourself and others. You may experience emotional dysregulation, identity disturbances, difficulties forming trusting relationships, and increased levels of dissociation.

  • CHILDHOOD TRAUMA

    A distressing or harmful event that occurred during childhood that can have rippling effects in all areas of your life. The impacts can influence your emotional, cognitive, and social development. It can leave lasting imprints, affecting relationships, self-esteem, and mental wellbeing into adulthood.

  • GRIEF AND LOSS

    Grieving is a profound emotional response to any significant loss, be it the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, or other life-altering changes. It’s not a linear process but a unique and personal journey that unfolds differently for everyone. Loss can trigger a range of emotions (sadness, anger, confusion).

  • DEPRESSION

    Depression is characterized by persistent feelings of sadness, loss of interest or pleasure in activities, changes in sleep and appetite, fatigue, and difficulty concentrating. It affects how you think, feel, and handle daily activities. Depression is more than a passing mood, and can significantly impact overall well-being.

  • PTSD

    PTSD can result from experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event, series of events or set of circumstances. Examples include serious accidents, medical trauma, rape/sexual assault, intimate partner violence and bullying. PTSD can result in experiencing disturbing thoughts and feelings related to event long after the traumatic even ended, including reliving the even through flashbacks.
