Because I work primarily with trauma and Complex PTSD, I see many clients who have already made several attempts at therapy in the past and feel that therapy does not work for them. Many of my clients have received lists of diagnoses from other clinicians and have often felt disregarded. Your therapy experience will be trauma-focused and move at your pace. The goal is to not retraumatize.
