Trauma can change the way you think, feel, relate to others, and experience the world. Whether you're living through a traumatic experience, recovering from something recent, or carrying the effects of the past, our therapists understand the profound impact it can have. At New Moon Psychotherapy, trauma is at the heart of what we do. We specialize in evidence-based treatment for PTSD, complex trauma, childhood trauma, sexual trauma, and the lasting impact of abuse and violence, helping individuals, couples, and families create meaningful, lasting change.
Our Team
Fuck the trauma. The shame. The blame. The way it chips away at your self-worth until you question every decision. Was it really that bad? Did it happen the way I remember? Did I cause it? If people knew, would they be disgusted? Would they leave? You want to scream, but need to stay put together on the outside. Sex and intimacy can feel out of control, repulsive, or completely uninteresting—like the fire inside you has gone out. Whether it was sexual abuse, rape, trafficking, or sexual betrayal by someone you trusted, you may be exhausted from living under trauma’s grip. You deserve more than surviving.

Trauma doesn’t just live in memories — it can shape our relationships, nervous systems, self-worth, and everyday patterns. You may find yourself constantly pushing through, shutting down, overgiving, struggling with intimacy, or turning to substances or behaviours to cope. These responses often develop as ways to survive overwhelming experiences. When trauma happens within relationships, families, cultural systems, or major life transitions, it can deeply impact how we relate to ourselves and others. You don’t have to carry it all alone anymore.

Do you feel blamed, unheard, or shut down in your relationship? Do small conversations quickly escalate into criticism, defensiveness, or silence? Maybe you walk away from arguments replaying everything, wondering how it got so intense. Old hurts, betrayal, or broken trust may keep resurfacing, even when you’re trying to move forward. Underneath it all, you don’t want to fight—you want to feel close, safe, and like you’re on the same team again.

Trauma changes how we see ourselves, others, and the world around us. You may notice that you're holding yourself responsible for what happened - watching the "if only's" and "I should have's" replay in your mind. You may find people untrustworthy and feel concerned about how unsafe the world is. Maybe you're struggling with your identity, have lost touch with yourself, and feel completely overwhelmed or out of control of your emotions - maybe you don't feel them at all. Maybe it's been bad for long and you don't know how much more you can take.

Many survivors of sexual, physical, or emotional abuse become experts at looking “fine.” You might go to work, show up for others, or seem okay on the outside while privately feeling anxious, numb, ashamed, angry, disconnected, or stuck in survival mode. Intimacy may feel complicated. Your body may react before your mind can catch up. Even if what happened was years ago, it can still affect your relationships, confidence, sense of safety, and ability to fully feel like yourself.

You may have become so good at holding everything together that few people realize how much you're carrying. You keep going, achieve, care for others, and rarely give yourself the same compassion you offer everyone else. Yet underneath, you may feel exhausted, disconnected, or like you're constantly carrying more than you let others see. These ways of coping often develop out of necessity, helping you get through difficult experiences. If they no longer feel like they're serving you, therapy can be a place to explore new ways of responding that feel more aligned with the life you want to build.

Maybe you’ve become really good at functioning on the outside while feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or constantly on edge underneath it all. You may overthink conversations, struggle to trust people, shut down during conflict, or feel exhausted from always trying to keep it together. If you grew up around abuse, neglect, criticism, or emotional unpredictability, these patterns likely developed to help you survive. But survival mode is exhausting. Therapy can help you feel safer in your body, more connected in your relationships, and more like yourself again.

You may have gone through experiences that left you feeling unsafe, disconnected, overwhelmed, or constantly questioning yourself. Maybe you carry emotions that feel too big to manage, shut down completely, or hear an inner voice telling you it was your fault or “not that bad.” Trauma can deeply shape how we see ourselves, our relationships, and the world around us — even long after the experiences are over.

You’ve been carrying so much on your own — experiences that continue to affect your life in ways you wish they didn’t. Maybe you find yourself wondering if you could have done something differently, replaying what happened over and over, or carrying guilt, shame, self-blame, or self-doubt that feels difficult to shake. You might feel constantly on edge, caught off guard by memories, or avoid certain people, places, or situations. You've worked hard to move forward, yet trauma still seems to shape how you think, feel, relate to others, and see yourself.

Whether you're navigating something as a couple or carrying it on your own, you deserve a space to work through it without judgment or pressure. As a couple, you may find the same conversations turning into arguments, one of you shutting down while the other pursues, or intimacy feeling distant. You may love each other deeply and still feel stuck in patterns you don't know how to change. Individually, you may be questioning your desires, feeling shame around sexuality or identity, or trying to make sense of experiences that have left intimacy feeling confusing or overwhelming.
