Healing Starts Here: Compassionate, Specialized Therapy for Every Step of Your Journey
Trauma and PTSD
Untangling trauma's impact with focused, compassionate care
Trauma can leave deep emotional wounds that affect how you see yourself, others, and the world. Whether it stems from a single event or ongoing experiences, trauma can show up as anxiety, shame, emotional numbness, hypervigilance, or difficulty trusting and connecting with others. At Empower and Thrive Counseling, we provide trauma-informed, compassionate care to help you heal at your own pace.
We work with clients who have experienced a wide range of traumas, including childhood abuse, sexual assault, domestic violence, medical trauma, grief, and more. Our therapists are trained in evidence-based approaches like somatic work, and trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT) to support long-term healing.
Our goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you can process your experiences, reduce symptoms, and reclaim your sense of control, connection, and identity.
Healing from trauma is not about forgetting the past—it’s about no longer letting it define you. You don’t have to carry this alone.
