I am forming a new group counseling focused on profound clinical trauma and loss, and post-traumatic stress (PTS). As soon as I have 6 members we will begin to meet one evening a week, adding new members as we move forward. We will discuss and learn how profound trauma and loss affects every aspect of who we are and we will learn coping and emotion management skills to manage the emotions and behaviors associated with PTS. We offer a safe environment, without judgement.

Who am I now? This question often echoes in the lives of trauma survivors. When our sense of self has been shaken, it can feel difficult to reconnect with who we are beyond what we've experienced. Identity After Trauma is an intentional group therapy space designed to help adult women explore and rebuild a sense of self in the aftermath of trauma. Together, we’ll create room for compassion, clarity, and connection within ourselves. This group is for you if you: Feel disconnected from yourself, struggle with self-trust or self-worth, experience anxiety or shame around your identity.

Equine Therapy group focused on building self-confidence, connection, body image resilience, emotional regulation skills, and eating disorder healing — all through the healing partnership of horses. This group offers a supportive, nonjudgmental space where participants learn to build trust within themselves and others, strengthen self-esteem, and develop a kinder, more compassionate relationship with their bodies.

Trauma and PTSD Support Groups
When should I seek treatment for trauma?
Not everyone who undergoes trauma needs therapy to heal, but many do. If, after experiencing a traumatic event, you find yourself struggling with symptoms such as nightmares, dissociation, irritability, or emotional numbness—especially if these symptoms last more than a month and are severe enough to interfere with your daily functioning—you may benefit from seeking out therapy with a trauma-informed provider.
How long does trauma therapy take?
Different types of therapy for trauma unfold on different timelines. Prolonged exposure therapy and cognitive processing therapy, for example, each take about three months, while trauma-informed CBT may last anywhere from 8 to 25 sessions. Other approaches, especially those that are less structured or that incorporate elements from multiple modalities, may be more open-ended, though many patients report feeling better within the first few months of treatment.
What happens if trauma is left untreated?
Unaddressed trauma can have serious—even devastating—effects on relationships, career, and day-to-day functioning. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can lead people to distrust or lash out at others, making it difficult to maintain intimate relationships; it can also trigger symptoms such as flashbacks or hyperreactivity that can interfere with a person’s ability to function effectively, personally and/or professionally. Some sufferers turn to drugs to find relief. Symptoms may lessen on their own with time, but there is no guarantee that PTSD will resolve on its own.
Can PTSD come back after treatment?
It is possible for PTSD symptoms to recur months or years after successful treatment. This is because, like most mental health disorders, it is not possible to “cure” PTSD, and stressful life events may cause symptoms to recur in even the most resilient individuals. There is no shame in re-experiencing PTSD symptoms nor in returning to therapy when such relapses occur; indeed, many forms of trauma therapy explicitly encourage periodic “maintenance sessions” to reinforce coping skills and ensure that symptoms stay manageable.
