Hi there! It is my personal belief that we are all meant to thrive physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually... including you! But we've all found ourselves at one point or another, feeling like life isn't exactly peachy. Trying to sort life out by ourselves can feel really daunting. That's where I can help. My particular specialties are working with folks who have experienced childhood trauma and/or sexual trauma, people dealing with anxiety, or challenges in their interpersonal relationships.

Because I believe everything is connected (your family stories, life challenges, grandma's heartbreak, and even what you eat), together we can uncover the thoughts, emotions, and long-buried patterns that color your life. My superpower is that I have a knack for helping you find the words to name what has been invisible to you so you can write a new story.

You might not know where to start, but you're in the right place and I'd be honored to help you begin to sort it out. Together we'll find answers, and we'll get you taking concrete steps to expand the strongest parts of yourself. We'll give you tools and practices to feel increasingly hopeful and confident about the future.

Reclaiming Wholeness: Sexual Trauma Healing

Hosted by

Morella Devost

A healing group for CIS-women who experienced sexual trauma. The most-effective trauma work involves shifting the somatic, symbolic, and sensory associations with the trauma. It is also well-documented that being in community is a powerful catalyst for healing trauma. That is what Reclaiming Wholeness is all about: community, self-empowerment, journaling, mindfulness, and more. It is not a traditional therapy group (think more workshop and retreat than group therapy). If this sounds intriguing, and you are feeling drawn to learn more, visit: www.thrivewithmorella.com and go to Reclaiming Wholeness.
