Abuse and trauma
Trauma recovery
Trauma-informed counseling in Kettering, Ohio. Emotional, physical, sexual, or psychological abuse leaves a mark that does not care how long ago it was. The first job is safety. Then we see what else is possible.
Trauma-informed here is not a slogan. It means we do not make you perform a full history on day one. You keep choice over pace, over what gets told, and over whether a session stays in the chair or, later, moves outside.
Stabilization comes before insight. Sleep, panic, the sense that your body is still in the old room. CBT and DBT skills can help with the present tense. Person-centered work keeps the relationship from becoming another place you have to manage.
I do not prescribe medication. When medical or psychiatric care is needed, I collaborate with the medical team at Clearing Path's Therapeutic Services. If you are in crisis now, call or text 988.
