This group is a safe space for young adults 18+ who have lived through trauma. Here, we explore the deep beliefs we’ve developed about ourselves, others, and the world because of what we’ve been through. These beliefs can shape how you feel, how you react, and how you see yourself and others. We’ll gently uncover these beliefs, and begin to shift them toward truth, safety, and self-worth for lasting change. There’s no pressure to share more than you’re ready for. Healing happens in your own time. This is a space for honesty, connection, and growth.

Most people who find this group have been managing a lot, for a long time. Maybe emotions hit harder than you’d like, stress has become your normal, or you keep ending up in the same frustrating place in relationships. This group was built for exactly that. Each week we work through DBT skills in four areas: getting through hard moments (distress tolerance), understanding your emotions (emotion regulation), communicating clearly and holding boundaries (interpersonal effectiveness), and staying grounded (mindfulness). Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, relationship patterns, or substance misuse, you leave each week with something real to use.

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.
