Therapy for Trauma

Trauma is often described as experiences that feel overwhelming—too much, too fast, or too soon. These events can deeply impact our sense of safety, trust, and emotional well-being. While some traumas stem from singular incidents, others develop over time, such as childhood adversity, unhealthy relationships, or ongoing stress. Trauma can manifest in many ways, including anxiety, depression, PTSD, or difficulties in relationships. You do not have to navigate this alone. Trauma therapy provides a safe space to process past experiences, understand their impact, and begin healing in a way that feels supportive and empowering.

Amanda Phillips

My journey to becoming a therapist

My journey as a therapist has been shaped by working with addiction recovery, hospitals, and schools. Seeing the resilience in disenfranchised communities sparked my passion—to create a space where healing is personal, meaningful, and transformative.

I believe in a deeply human-centered approach, bridging the gap between standard care and what truly works. Healing is a journey we take together, and it would be my privilege to walk alongside you.

Who Can Benefit from Trauma Therapy

Individuals who have experienced distressing or life-threatening events, such as accidents, abuse, or violence, can greatly benefit from trauma therapy. Those struggling with flashbacks, nightmares, hypervigilance, or intense emotional reactions related to these events will find support and tools for healing. Therapy offers a safe and guided process to understand the impact of trauma and develop effective coping mechanisms for lasting recovery.
