Trauma-Informed Psychotherapy
People are more than the problems they face. Those problems and those challenges do not define the person you are. Treating the problem may not give you the tools to live better when your lifestyle puts you in situations where you are activated, causing your symptoms to flare. I attempt to look at the way you live and the different situations and circumstances that activate those problematic thoughts and feelings. To address habits, and routines you cultivated over time. Adapting the way you live your life, to make room for your needs.
