Healing Doesn’t Mean Forgetting. It Means Remembering Yourself
Grief and trauma have a way of changing everything. One day you’re managing, the next it feels like the ground shifts beneath you. Maybe you’re grieving a person, a relationship, or even the version of yourself you used to be. Maybe you’ve carried trauma for years, old wounds that still shape how you show up, love, or trust.
​
Whatever your story looks like, healing doesn’t mean erasing the past. It means learning to live with it differently—gently, with compassion, and without losing yourself in the pain.

When Grief or Trauma Take Over
Pain doesn’t always look the way people expect it to. You might be going through the motions on the outside, but inside you feel numb, disconnected, or full of guilt. Maybe you can’t stop replaying certain moments, or maybe you’ve learned to avoid them altogether just to get through the day.
​
You may find yourself saying things like:
-
“I should be over this by now.”
-
“It’s been years, why does it still hurt so much?”
-
“I don’t even know who I am anymore.”
If you’re living with loss or trauma, you don’t have to go through it alone—or rush to move on before you’re ready.

Our Therapy Approach
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
EMDR helps the brain reprocess painful memories so they lose their emotional intensity. It’s a powerful approach for clients healing from trauma, loss, or distressing life experiences.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT helps you identify thoughts that reinforce guilt, core beliefs, shame, or hopelessness and replace them with realistic, self-compassionate ways of thinking.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
ACT teaches you how to hold space for grief and trauma without letting them define you. It focuses on mindfulness, acceptance, and moving forward with purpose.
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)
DBT helps you regulate strong emotions, tolerate distress, and build practical coping skills to stay grounded through pain and change.
