Trauma affects individuals in many different ways. It can stem from a single event or a prolonged series of experiences. The impact of trauma can profoundly shape how people perceive themselves, others, and the world around them. At Kenyatta Black Counseling, we understand the importance of trauma-informed care and the unique needs of those who have experienced trauma.
If you’ve experienced trauma, you can feel that it affects your emotional, mental, and physical well-being in ways that are difficult to understand. You may struggle with feeling disconnected from others, experiencing flashbacks, feeling emotionally numb, or finding it hard to trust again. The good news is that trauma-informed therapy can help you heal, regain control, and build resilience.
Trauma-informed care involves recognizing the prevalence of trauma and understanding how it can affect an individual’s mental health and well-being. This approach ensures that our practice takes into account the various experiences of trauma our clients may have faced and creates an environment of safety, trust, and compassion.
In a trauma-informed private practice, our goal is to empower you to reclaim your strength and control over your life. Our licensed professional counselors (LPC) are skilled in using trauma-sensitive therapeutic techniques to help you process and heal from the effects of trauma in a safe and supportive environment.
