Trauma-Informed Counseling

Trauma is defined as a deeply distressing or disturbing experience. Many of us will encounter such an event at least once during our lifetime. Whether it is the result of neglect, physical or sexual abuse, violence, war, an accident, devastating loss or a natural disaster, trauma can have a ripple effect on our lives. We develop coping skills and defense mechanisms to prevent us from re-experiencing this trauma often by avoiding situations that we perceive will place us at risk, learning to be hyper-vigilant or by numbing our emotional selves.

At Heart to Heart Counseling & Coaching, we understand that each person’s experience is unique. We provide a safe, nonjudgmental space to explore your thoughts and goals. Together, we will determine which coping skills have served you well and those that hold you back. We will identify and highlight your strengths and your resiliency to see the progress you’ve already made on your path to healing.
