Experiencing trauma can have a profound impact on a child’s emotional and psychological well-being. I provide compassionate and specialized therapy to help children and teens process their experiences, regain a sense of safety, and build resilience.

 

Understanding Trauma in Children & Teens

Trauma can result from various experiences, including:

• Physical or emotional abuse

• Neglect or abandonment

• Bullying or peer-related stress

• Witnessing violence or experiencing a traumatic event

• Loss of a loved one

• Accidents or natural disasters

Trauma can manifest in different ways, such as anxiety, depression, difficulty trusting others, nightmares, emotional outbursts, or withdrawal from social activities. Every child reacts to trauma differently, which is why a personalized approach to therapy is essential.

 

How Therapy Can Help

Our trauma-focused therapy services are designed to provide children and teens with the tools and support they need to heal. We use evidence-based techniques, including:

• Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT): Helps children process traumatic experiences, develop coping strategies, and reduce distressing symptoms.

• Play Therapy: Utilizes creative expression to help younger children communicate and process emotions in a safe, non-verbal way.

• Mindfulness & Relaxation Techniques: Supports emotional regulation and stress management.

• Family Therapy & Parent Support: Provides guidance to caregivers on how to create a nurturing and supportive environment for their child.
