Frequently Asked Questions

  • Trauma therapy may be a good fit if past experiences continue to affect how you feel, relate to others, see yourself, or experience safety in your daily life. You don’t have to have a formal PTSD diagnosis or be able to clearly identify a single traumatic event. We can talk together about what you’re experiencing and determine whether a trauma-focused approach makes sense for your goals.

  • You don’t have to be certain that what you experienced “counts” as trauma before reaching out. Trauma can take many forms, and sometimes the impact of an experience is clearer than the label itself. We can explore what you’ve experienced, how it continues to affect you, and whether a trauma-focused approach would be helpful.

  • The first appointment is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and talk about what brings you to therapy. We’ll discuss your current concerns, relevant history, and what you hope to work toward in therapy. We’ll also talk about how I approach treatment and begin developing a plan that feels appropriate for your needs and goals. You will not be expected to share details about traumatic experiences before you feel ready.
