Trauma and PTSD Therapists in Macon, GA

We all know there are things in life we can’t control, but where we do have some control is in our responses to those things - even if it feels like we don't. Many times we just don't know how. My clients have trauma -related issues that have caused them ongoing problems. Traumas may be from childhood or from events experienced as an adult. Unresolved trauma masks itself in a variety of troubling ways. You may feel anxious, depressed, emotionally detached, or easily overwhelmed. You may even question whether or not what you've experienced is " trauma ".

That voice telling you it’s time for a change is not always loud, but it is persistent!

Through the years, I've found that many seeking help with these problems are actually dealing with the emotional fall out of unresolved trauma - leading to my focus and specialization in the successful resolution of PTSD .
