Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, often called PTSD, can develop after experiencing or witnessing overwhelming events.

PTSD may include:

• Re experiencing memories
• Avoidance of reminders
• Changes in mood or beliefs
• Increased startle response or hypervigilance

Trauma responses are nervous system responses. They are not signs of weakness or failure. They often reflect how the body worked to survive.

Complex trauma typically refers to repeated or prolonged experiences of stress, often in relational settings.

It can impact:

• Self worth
• Emotional regulation
• Trust and attachment
• Boundaries
• Sense of safety

These patterns can make sense in context. Therapy can offer space to gently understand them.

EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing.

It is a structured, evidence informed therapy approach that may help the brain process distressing memories in a new way.

EMDR does not require you to share every detail of your experience. It works at a pace that prioritizes nervous system stability and consent.

Our clinicians are trained in EMDR and integrate it thoughtfully within trauma informed care.

Confidentiality is central to ethical mental health care.

There are specific legal exceptions where information may need to be shared, such as situations involving safety concerns or required reporting. These limits are reviewed clearly during informed consent so you can make informed choices.

It is completely understandable to feel unsure.

Many people take time to consider therapy before reaching out. You are welcome to gather information, read, reflect, and move at your own pace.
