Trauma and Abuse

Trauma can leave lasting emotional and physical effects, even when it feels like life has moved on. Therapy provides a safe, supportive space to process experiences, rebuild trust in yourself and others, and begin to restore a sense of peace.

How We Help

Healing from Trauma

Many of our clients have experienced trauma, abuse and neglect as children. Sometimes, they don’t even realize that is what they experienced because it just seemed “normal” to them. When we grow up in invalidating environments, we begin to believe things about ourselves that aren’t true, like “I’m not good enough” or “I don’t deserve to be treated well”. Let us help you change these negative beliefs into positive ones.

Real Journeys, Real Growth

I am so grateful to have had the privilege of meeting and working with David. He is calm, compassionate, patient and has a true passion for helping others and walking with them through life’s challenges. I will forever be thankful that I found him. I have especially appreciated his ability to always meet me exactly where I was at, and I have put on so much personal growth because of the skills and tools that he has taught me. I believe he has the ability to help anyone he meets as a client, and I would highly recommend him if you are considering mental health therapy.

Lisa is amazing. She is helpful, compassionate, understanding, kind, and very knowledgeable. She offered many tools that I refer to daily or in times of need. Then she used her skills and education to teach me a lot that is very valuable in my own life and relationships. I also had the privilege of working with David through martial therapy/premarital therapy. He is understanding, kind, knowledgeable and compassionate. This team has really shaped my husband and I personally in our journey in navigating many things in life both individually and our marriage.

I reached out to Lisa in 2019 when I was confused, overwhelmed and scared about the things that were happening in my marriage. She helped me recognize and be able to name the abuse that was happening. She also helped me create a safety plan and begin to take small steps to leave my abuser. Her support and encouragement were instrumental in my healing journey. Today, my children and I are thriving, and I am so grateful for the patience and guidance she gave me as we worked together to create a healthy life free from abuse.
