Trauma is a disruptive force in people’s lives. Combined with the loss of social supports and routines that once sustained us, it can be hard to feel productive as life simply feels overwhelming. To cope, many of us are falling back on destructive habits such as abusing drugs and alcohol while others are experiencing panic attacks. Further, those of us with children are stretched thin, and it can be hard to meet their needs adequately while running on emotional fumes. Yet, even during this time of upheaval and uncertainty, you are not alone. There is a path forward, and by working together we can shine a light upon it.

I have a passion for working with children, adolescents and their support systems to address trauma or other concerns. I believe it is important to meet children and teens where they are to help them gain the skills and confidence to become successful adults. Helping children understand their thoughts, feelings, actions and needs is the first step in that journey. I also believe it is important to help children and teens learn to advocate for themselves in order to grow and develop into the best version of themselves.

Trauma and PTSD Therapists
When should I seek treatment for trauma?
Not everyone who undergoes trauma needs therapy to heal, but many do. If, after experiencing a traumatic event, you find yourself struggling with symptoms such as nightmares, dissociation, irritability, or emotional numbness—especially if these symptoms last more than a month and are severe enough to interfere with your daily functioning—you may benefit from seeking out therapy with a trauma-informed provider.
How long does trauma therapy take?
Different types of therapy for trauma unfold on different timelines. Prolonged exposure therapy and cognitive processing therapy, for example, each take about three months, while trauma-informed CBT may last anywhere from 8 to 25 sessions. Other approaches, especially those that are less structured or that incorporate elements from multiple modalities, may be more open-ended, though many patients report feeling better within the first few months of treatment.
What happens if trauma is left untreated?
Unaddressed trauma can have serious—even devastating—effects on relationships, career, and day-to-day functioning. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can lead people to distrust or lash out at others, making it difficult to maintain intimate relationships; it can also trigger symptoms such as flashbacks or hyperreactivity that can interfere with a person’s ability to function effectively, personally and/or professionally. Some sufferers turn to drugs to find relief. Symptoms may lessen on their own with time, but there is no guarantee that PTSD will resolve on its own.
Can PTSD come back after treatment?
It is possible for PTSD symptoms to recur months or years after successful treatment. This is because, like most mental health disorders, it is not possible to “cure” PTSD, and stressful life events may cause symptoms to recur in even the most resilient individuals. There is no shame in re-experiencing PTSD symptoms nor in returning to therapy when such relapses occur; indeed, many forms of trauma therapy explicitly encourage periodic “maintenance sessions” to reinforce coping skills and ensure that symptoms stay manageable.
