Trauma Services
Many individuals experience trauma. Many people exposed to trauma have few symptoms, those who have experienced multiple traumas are more likely to experience negative emotional and behavioral responses. Trauma can significantly affect how an individual engages in major life areas and in treatment. Knowing this we have made an intentional effort to provide trauma informed care by offering safe and supportive trauma specific treatment options.
