Trauma
Trauma
Consistent with evidence-based practices in the profession of therapy, I use a trauma-informed approach, which places an emphasis of considering the impact of adverse childhood/adult experiences upon our current emotional/mental well-being (for ex: abuse, neglect, domestic violence, near death experience, divorce, loss of a loved one, infertility, medical, and/or negative impacts of the legal system). As a therapist, I intend to be sensitive to any experiences of trauma you have experience and hope to help you build resiliency and healing in order to best restore your emotional well-being.
Testimonials
“When my daughter was 16 years old, I needed help making her realize that she was in an abusive relationship. I was scared for her and what her future would hold if she was not able to get away from her boyfriend. I had never seen her self-esteem so low. He had alienated her friends, was constantly manipulating her, was isolating her from her family and turning her against us, and was trying to talk her into giving up all the extracurricular activities and sports that she loved. I was completely lost, and I was losing my daughter. I reached out to Brenna for help. After one parent meeting with Brenna and explaining the situation, I was relieved and hopeful that she would help my daughter take control of her life. After the first session with Brenna my daughter called me and said, “Mom, I love her. Thank you for making me go to counseling.” I hung up the phone and burst into tears. I knew my girl was going to be all right. After every session with Brenna, I could see a difference in my daughter’s attitude and demeanor. I could see the light come back into her eyes and the joy come back into her smile. I can’t thank Brenna enough for everything she did for our family. She gave my daughter the strength to take control of her own life, showed her just how amazing she was, and allowed her to see her self-worth and how she deserved to be treated. I truly believe my daughter would not be where she is today in her life without Brenna’s help, and I will be forever grateful.” – Anonymous
