Trauma

Trauma affects your whole life and it impacts everyone differently. We will join you in acknowledging how the past has affected your present and finding healing that works for you.

A trauma-informed approach underlies all of our work at Shade Tree Counseling. Many clients come to therapy not specifically to talk about trauma, but because they feel lonely, inadequate, depressed or anxious, or just cannot seem to have the intimacy they crave. Acknowledging trauma may come later in the therapy work and that is okay. Getting grounded and connected with a trusted therapist can be key to feeling willing and ready to talk about your most painful experiences.
