Services

Trauma Therapy & PTSD—Specialized care for adults carrying the weight of traumatic experiences — whether recent or long-held. We treat trauma at the root, not just the symptoms.

EMDR Therapy—One of the most researched and effective treatments for trauma and PTSD. EMDR helps your brain finally process what it's been holding — often faster than traditional talk therapy.

Sexual Abuse & Assault Recovery—Compassionate, specialized therapy for survivors of sexual abuse and assault at any stage of healing — whether the trauma happened recently or years ago.

Domestic Violence Trauma —Healing from the complex effects of intimate partner violence, coercive control, and relationship trauma. We understand the layers, and we meet you where you are.

Childhood Abuse & Neglect—For adults carrying wounds from childhood — abuse, neglect, or attachment injuries that shaped how you see yourself and the world. It's never too late to heal.

Substance Use & Recovery—Non-judgmental, integrated support across the recovery continuum — including for those navigating relapse. Trauma and substance use are deeply connected, and we treat both.

Integrative & Specialized Approaches—Our team also brings expertise in Drama Therapy, DBT-informed care, step-down support after IOP/PHP, and more. Learn about our full range of approaches.
