Childhood trauma can cripple us, it creates overpowering ‘intense’ emotions such as anxiety, depression, and anger when left unattended which begins to create physical symptoms to defend our bodies from the internal wounds. Has there ever been a time in your life where you have experienced this reaction? Are you experiencing these feelings based on current or past trauma from childhood, early teens, adolescence, adulthood, or as a senior? I aim to utilize a variety of actionable techniques to help reduce trauma related symptoms and make lasting changes in life.

Life is difficult. We all make our own path through life; using our wits, smarts, failed attempts, guidance and triumphs. There are no SOPs, no formula to follow, and definitely no easy answers. The right choice for one may be the wrong decision for another. Managing our emotional life is even more complex and if not tougher. Whether it's relationships with family, friends, co-workers; or facing anxiety, depression, addiction, grief & loss, self-doubt etc, here at Lotus Circle Counseling Services, we would like to invite you to a space where you could feel safe to talk things out.

Exhausted? Overwhelmed? Trying to manage your mental health with an already existing mood disorder, personality disorder or on top of that an active addiction or one in remission? Or, are you are worried there is more going on that just being not able to cope the way you used to, and it's getting harder and harder to get back to feeling some kind of normal? You know you need to do something about it - your livelihood depends on it. You are a professional in healthcare, run a company, a team, a household, and you're running on empty. It's time to prioritize your mental health.
