Online Therapy for Trauma
Experienced Trauma Therapist
Trauma therapy is designed to support individuals who have faced deeply distressing events, such as childhood trauma, abuse, loss, or other life-altering experiences. These events can leave a profound impact, often leading to anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and other mental health challenges that can persist long after the trauma has ended.
Online trauma therapy offers a safe, accessible way for individuals to begin their healing journey from the comfort of their own home. For many trauma survivors, traditional in-person therapy can feel overwhelming due to triggers or anxiety about leaving their safe space. Online therapy provides an alternative that feels less intimidating while still delivering effective, evidence-based care.
As a licensed therapist specializing in trauma recovery, I offer a compassionate and nonjudgmental space for individuals to process their pain, develop coping skills, and rebuild a sense of safety and trust. Together, we work through difficult emotions, address negative beliefs, and build the tools needed to regain control and move forward.

TYPES OF TRAUMA
Understanding Trauma
Trauma is not just defined by what happened to you—it’s defined by its impact on you. Whether it’s a single distressing event or a series of painful experiences, trauma alters your sense of safety and identity, leaving you with questions, fears, and a longing to return to a sense of normalcy. It’s often misunderstood and thought to only involve physical or sexual abuse, but trauma is any event that overwhelms your ability to cope and disrupts your inner sense of peace.
Trauma is deeply personal—it’s not about what happened, but how it made you feel. It’s not the event itself, but the meaning your mind and body assigned to that experience. Trauma can be sudden and dramatic, or subtle and cumulative, but its effects are real and can shape how you see yourself and the world around you.
Types of Trauma You May Be Experiencing:
- Domestic Violence: Enduring violent or controlling behavior from a partner, family member, or intimate acquaintance.
- Betrayal Trauma: The deep wound of having your trust violated by someone critical to your safety and wellbeing, such as a partner’s infidelity.
- Abandonment Trauma: The emotional pain of feeling neglected or deserted, whether in childhood or adulthood.
- Abuse: Suffering verbal, emotional, physical, sexual, or financial manipulation, coercion, or harm.
- Historical Trauma: The generational impact of systemic oppression, marginalization, and discrimination affecting cultural identity and mental health.
- Rejection Trauma: Repeated experiences of feeling unwanted or dismissed by a parent, loved one, or close relationships.
- Childhood Trauma: Any painful or distressing experience during your early years that has lasting emotional effects.
- Life Transitions: Adjusting to major life changes like divorce, the death of a loved one, or a chronic illness that shakes your stability.
- Car Accidents: The lingering anxiety, hypervigilance, or panic caused by a serious collision or near-fatal experience.
- Pandemics: The pervasive fear, grief, and uncertainty experienced during global crises like COVID-19, altering your sense of security and health.
Understanding Trauma’s Impact:
Trauma is more than a mental health concern—it affects the whole person, including emotional, psychological, and even physical well-being. It can lead to anxiety, depression, self-doubt, anger, difficulty trusting, and other challenging symptoms that make daily life feel overwhelming.
But healing is possible. By understanding the type of trauma you’ve experienced, you’ve already taken the first courageous step in your recovery journey. You are not defined by what happened to you, and you are not alone. With the right support and tools, you can reclaim your sense of self, build resilience, and find peace again.
You deserve to heal and live a life free from fear and pain. It’s time to turn the page and begin a new chapter of strength, healing, and hope. Reach out today to start your journey to recovery.
Unpacking the Complexities of Trauma
What is Trauma?
What is trauma? Understanding trauma is a crucial aspect of mental health. Trauma can be defined as an event or series of events that cause extreme stress or harm to an individual. Traumatic experiences can have a lasting impact on a person's mental and emotional well-being, and can lead to conditions such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or depression.
It is important to recognize that trauma can take many forms, including physical, emotional, and sexual abuse, neglect, natural disasters, and accidents. Trauma can also be experienced on a collective level, such as through systemic oppression or violence.
When working with individuals who have experienced trauma, it is important to approach them with sensitivity and empathy. Trauma can affect a person's ability to trust others, and it may take time for them to feel comfortable opening up about their experiences. It is also important to recognize that trauma can manifest in different ways, such as through Anxiety, dissociation, shame, guilt, helplessness, hopelessness, worry, grief, depression, or anger.
Seeking professional help from a mental health provider can be beneficial for those who have experienced trauma. Therapy can provide a safe space for individuals to process their experiences and develop coping skills. Additionally, self-care practices such as exercise, meditation, and spending time in nature can also be helpful in managing symptoms of trauma.
Traumatic events are experienced differently from one individual to the next and depend on the individual's perceived awareness of the event and how impactful it was to his/her life.
