Our Trauma-Informed Approach
We understand that trauma is not one size fits-all and neither is healing. Our providers create a safe, non-judgmental environment where patients can process their experiences at their own pace. We use evidence based therapies including:
• Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT)
• Trauma-informed supportive therapy
• Medication management for PTSD symptoms when appropriate
We are especially sensitive to the trauma experiences of Black, Hispanic, and immigrant
communities, including racial trauma and the mental health impact of discrimination.
