ONLINE THERAPY

Schedule therapy sessions at your convenience.

Online therapy offered to California residents.

Feeling overwhelmed and scared of your own experiences?

A trauma-informed therapist can help.

COMMON MYTH: Any therapist is competent enough to address trauma.

TRUTH: Trauma recovery is a specialized practice that requires a therapist to do extra training to become competent.

Do you long for a space to feel seen and supported in your journey of trauma recovery?

A supportive space to process experiences with a therapist that knows the ins and outs of trauma is the most important thing trauma survivors can do to recover. You might:

  • Have difficulty knowing the difference between a normal trauma response and a poor coping skill that you just can’t break free from.

  • Worry about telling your story to others out of fear that they will view you as broken or ruined.

  • Feel ashamed that the trauma happened to you and worry that you somehow caused it.

  • See the world through a really negative lens and don’t know how to stop.

  • Try to control your feelings but still experience chronic distress no matter how much you try.

  • Feel overwhelmed when hanging out with your friends and family.

  • Dissociate or feel foggy in most areas of your life

  • Become overwhelmed with how to feel “normal” again.

  • Worry that you are “too broken” to be in healthy relationships again.

Untangle the complicated feelings of trauma recovery and weave together a new story for your life.

 

Having the wrong therapist can feel like:

  • Inability to disclose the trauma that happened despite being in therapy for a while.

  • Being discouraged by your progress and wondering if you are “doing therapy wrong.”

  • Fear of feeling like this forever and craving reassurance that there is hope.

  • You’ve exhausted all of your options and need trauma-informed care from specialist, there are none in your area.

If you are dissatisfied with your current therapy options, you no longer have to be limited by geography. We offer online therapy to anyone living in California.

Trauma stops here.

A trauma-informed therapist can help you with:

  • Loneliness when trying to process your traumatic experience.

  • Fear about how your friends and family will react to your story.

  • Guilt and shame that prevents you from getting the support you need.

  • Negative and intrusive thoughts that come up in a day.

  • Being easily scared or frightened by seemingly benign events.

You might also feel:

  • Anxious when hanging out with people that don’t know your story.

  • Overwhelmed with dread when traumatic memories are triggered.

  • Rumination over the events before and after the traumatic event.

  • Complete denial or poor memory around the traumatic event.

  • Frightening and surprising negative thoughts.

  • Increasing fear that another trauma will happen to you in the future.

Trauma disrupts everything in our lives, and most trauma survivors have some symptoms of depression, anxiety, distress in their relationships, and poor self-esteem. Some survivors even experience a significant and upsetting combination of symptoms.

In America, it's estimated that over 224 million adults have experienced at least one traumatic event in their lives. It’s incredibly common but the aftermath of trauma can leave you feeling like your world, relationships and body are suddenly unsafe.

The good news? When you begin to better understand and untangle your (totally normal) trauma response, you can break free from the aftermath of trauma and painful life experiences that follow.

Trauma can be treated.

Trauma counseling starts with helping you feel validated and seen in your experiences, then therapists provide you with tools to help you manage your symptoms and get your life back on track.
