You’ve tried to get past it, forget about it, told yourself it “wasn’t a big deal”, but you’re in pain. Maybe you notice feeling scared and mistrusting of others, having mood swings, or feeling down about yourself.

Maybe you feel disconnected from people around you, the world, or even your own body.

Trauma can take many different forms, so often we don’t realize what we’ve gone through until we unpack it with someone safe. We can be that space for you.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is an extensively researched, effective psychotherapy method proven to help people recover from trauma and PTSD symptoms. It is designed to resolve unprocessed traumatic memories in the brain. EMDR does not require talking in detail about the distressing issue or completing homework between sessions. Rather than focusing on changing the emotions, thoughts, or behaviors resulting from the upsetting topic, EMDR allows the brain to resume its natural healing process (EMDRIA website).

You can find more information about EMDR here.

We use EMDR in conjunction with other therapeutic modalities, for some individual clients. Yes, this can be done virtually! If you are interested in EMDR Therapy, we can discuss whether it would be a good fit for you. Schedule a phone consult with one of our therapists!

Having an abortion does not cause mental health issues, but the stigma of having an abortion can have a negative impact on our lives.

There is no ‘right way’ to feel after an abortion. Maybe there is relief, grief, pain, loneliness, anger, happiness. Everything is welcome in our sessions and we are here to support you, regardless of whether this was an easy or difficult journey for you.

Please go to our Group Offerings page to sign up for a group!

Being in community with other people who have gone through what you’ve gone through can be incredible for healing. Sexual trauma breeds isolation and shame, and being with supportive others can be the antidote. 

A screening call is required to be admitted to any group to ensure we are a good fit and logistics are discussed.
