Are you are realizing that the effects of past trauma, violence or abuse have left life a tangled mess? Are you struggling with how difficult experiences have affected your relationships? Or maybe you belong to a gender, sexual, or relationship minority (e.g., LGBTQ+, BDSM, kink) and are looking for an affirming provider to support you through whatever life has brought you? I look forward to supporting you in gaining the knowledge and skills to navigate whatever stressors life has brought you.
I utilize a flexible, evidence-based approach that considers your values, background and identities, and needs. Together, we work together to untangle the knots life has created for you by building your awareness, knowledge, and skills to progress on your healing journey. My approach is trauma-informed and culturally sensitive.
It takes a lot of strength and courage to seek help. I would love the opportunity to support you on your healing journey and help you find the confidence and power within to take the next steps. Why don't we start by connecting over a free 15 minute phone consultation to help you decide whether working with me would be a good fit for your needs?
Call or Hege Riise now for a free 15 minute consultation - (813) 437-4476
