What Is It?
Do you struggle from trauma? Do you feel like it’s holding you back from your potential?

Trauma & You
Trauma is a natural response to extreme stress and, unfortunately, virtually many will experience it at some point. Anything from a catastrophe to a personal loss can cause trauma. Pain, whether induced by violence or grief, may cause trauma, too.
If you’re struggling with trauma, you may experience:
- Flashbacks
- Feeling Numb, Hopeless, or Disconnected
- Mood Swings
- Panic Attacks
- Depression and Anxiety
- Guilt
- Shame
- Nightmares
We’re here to help. Between our sympathetic care and active approach, we can help you transform your relationship to your trauma-induced triggers while taking the steps towards your self-fulfillment. Interested? Book your free consultation today.
Should I Seek Therapy For Trauma?
It’s perfectly normal to seek help for trauma, especially if it’s coming between you and your best version of yourself. As trauma therapists in New York City, we work with people in your position all the time.
You should seek help if trauma:
- Causes lasting emotional and/or physical pain,
- Harms your relationships, career, or social life,
- Leaves you vulnerable to sensitivity, triggers, or flashbacks, or
- Prevents you from enjoying the things you love
If you need help, we encourage you to reach out to us as soon as you can. We’re available to tailor a plan for you, whether you feel more comfortable online or in-person.
