Therapy for Trauma and Ptsd
Not All Wounds Are Visible. But You Don’t Have to Keep Carrying Them Alone.
Trauma doesn’t always come from a single event. Sometimes it builds over time, through feeling ignored, judged, controlled, or not good enough. Maybe you’ve been through something terrifying, or maybe it was the constant stress of being put down, bullied, or made to feel like you didn’t matter. Either way, your feelings are valid, and you deserve healing.
If you’ve noticed that certain memories keep replaying, your body feels on edge, or it’s hard to trust people or relax, it could be your nervous system’s way of protecting you. PTSD and unresolved trauma can show up as anxiety, anger, numbing, or feeling stuck, and it can quietly affect every part of your life.
At For The Love of You Therapy, we help teens, young adults, and adults work through both big traumatic events and the quiet, long-lasting hurts that build up over time. Therapy isn’t about “just getting over it”... it’s about understanding how these experiences shaped you, learning how to feel safe again, and gently letting go of the pain that’s been weighing you down.
Together, we’ll explore what’s happened in a way that feels manageable, build tools to calm your nervous system, and help you move forward with strength, not fear.
Your past doesn’t have to control your future.
Let’s start the process of healing, at your pace, in a safe and supportive space.
Reach out today for a free consultation and take the first step toward feeling whole again.

FAQ
How do I know if I need trauma therapy?
​
If you’ve experienced something overwhelming, whether recently or in the past, and it still affects your daily life, relationships, or emotions, trauma therapy can help. Some people notice increased anxiety, emotional numbness, flashbacks, or trouble trusting others. You don’t need to have all the answers or a formal diagnosis to seek support. If life feels heavier than it used to, that’s reason enough to reach out.
​
What can I expect during a trauma therapy session?
​
Our sessions provide a safe, compassionate space where you set the pace. In the beginning, we focus on understanding your story and what feels most challenging right now. From there, we work together to help you process your experiences, reduce emotional triggers, and build tools for grounding and healing. There’s no rushing, you’re in control, and every step is designed around your comfort and readiness.
​
How long does trauma therapy usually take?
​
Healing from trauma is different for everyone. Some clients start to feel relief after just a few sessions, while others benefit from longer-term support. It depends on factors like the type of trauma, how long you’ve been carrying it, and your personal goals. We’ll check in regularly and adjust the process so you feel supported without feeling pressured.
​
Will I have to talk about my trauma in detail?
​
Only if and when you’re ready. Some clients want to share their full story, while others prefer to focus on present-day symptoms like anxiety, panic, or emotional triggers. We’ll never push you to relive painful experiences before you feel prepared. Therapy is about creating a sense of safety first and moving at a pace that respects your boundaries.
​
How do I know if you’re the right therapist for me?
​
The best way to find out is to start with a conversation. I encourage clients to ask questions, share concerns, and get a sense of my style during our first session. My goal is to create an open, supportive connection where you feel seen and understood. If at any point you feel we’re not the right fit, I’ll gladly guide you toward other resources or providers who might better match your needs.
