Heal from trauma with compassionate, evidence-based therapy.
Trauma can affect far more than memories. It can change the way you think, feel, respond to stress, and experience relationships. Whether your trauma stems from a single event or years of difficult experiences, healing is possible. At Flourish Together Therapy, our trauma-informed therapists help adolescents, adults, and couples process painful experiences, reduce distressing symptoms, and move toward a greater sense of safety and connection..

If these experiences sound familiar, trauma therapy may help.

Trauma Looks Different for Everyone
Trauma is not defined solely by what happened.
Two people can experience the same event and respond very differently. Trauma develops when an experience overwhelms your ability to cope and continues affecting your nervous system long after the event has passed.
Some examples include:
Childhood abuse
Emotional neglect
Domestic violence
Sexual assault
Military trauma
Car accidents
Medical trauma
Pregnancy or birth trauma
Sudden loss
Natural disasters
Workplace trauma
Community violence
Chronic invalidation
Attachment wounds
Narcissistic abuse
