Trauma is my specialty. I work with adults who have experience trauma as a child or as an adult. There are ways to minimize the effects of trauma, but it will never go away. In addition, I work with anxiety and depression. Hearing voices is no problem nor is cutting or self abuse. Its important to be flexible. Much of abuse comes with health issues and chronic pain and drug and alcohol abuse. All aspects much be considered.
