Trauma weaves through life—from birth to childhood, relationships, and adulthood—shaping thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. It lingers in memories, disrupts sleep, fuels anxiety, and impacts work, friendships, and self-worth. You may feel stuck, trapped by the past, or seeking ways to numb the pain. At McCloud Acosta Clinical Services (MACS), we specialize in trauma-informed therapy because we know that addressing trauma is the key to deep, lasting healing. Whether you’re navigating PTSD, anxiety, depression, grief, or simply feeling out of alignment, you are not alone—healing is possible.
Our expert clinicians use EMDR, TF-CBT, and DBT to help you release the past, rewire limiting beliefs, and restore inner balance. We work with first responders, birth trauma survivors, crime victims, abuse survivors, and individuals navigating life’s many challenges.
We welcome children (10+), teens, adults, families, and couples in a safe, affirming space for all races, genders, and backgrounds. Your healing starts here. Reach out today—because your past does not define your future.
