Trauma can make us believe we're broken, unacceptable, alone, and often feeling ashamed. It might compel us to keep our story to ourselves for fear of judgment or rejection. It takes immense courage to desert that notion and start sharing. Welcome to Gentle Growth Therapy, I'm so glad you're here; my name is Bridget Appleby, and I am privileged to offer trauma therapy. Whether this is your first therapist ever or you're looking to dig deeper into your work, I am ready to be your guide.
I help survivors of sexual assault, domestic violence, adverse life events, and those who suffer from OCD, panic, dissociation, and depression. I specialize in Women's Issues, Anxiety, and Trauma. As my foundation, I offer unconditional positive regard, genuineness, and warmth to my clients. I utilize IFS, Gestalt, and mindful self-compassion techniques.
Life is already hard enough without trauma; allow yourself the opportunity to unburden, learn new strategies and perspectives, and start living authentically. If you are ready to begin this chapter in your healing journey, please reach out today. I look forward to our work together.

Therapy is successful with interventions that play to the strengths of the client and adapt along their healing journey. Our first sessions will be spent getting to know each other, where I can learn more about your story and you can get a sense of how comfortable you feel working together. Then, we collaborate on a treatment plan that reflects your goals and effective strategies to meet them.

Regardless of the theory I practice, I am a trauma-informed therapist. When working from a trauma-informed perspective, we'll learn at how adverse experiences may have shaped your views of yourself, others, and the world. During treatment, I will help you grow in your confidence to advocate for yourself, maintain boundaries in relationships, and develop a strong sense of self and self-esteem.
