Whether you have experienced a single or recurring traumatic event, large or small- trauma focused therapy may benefit from you. Trauma can bleed into many areas of life. It can shape how you think, feel, and navigate the world. While it may feel overwhelming or that it will never get better, it can. It is possible to heal wounds, rebuild trust in yourself and others, and feel more anchored. We’ll go at your pace, collaborating on what feels safe. This allows you to take the lead but with our guidance and expertise.
Bloom & Balance uses a variety of tools, ranging from relational care to Brainspotting to play therapy to address symptoms of trauma and PTSD.
