Trauma & Abuse Therapy
You survived it. Now you deserve the space to heal from it.
Trauma and abuse can leave lasting effects long after the experience has ended. You may find yourself constantly overthinking, questioning your decisions, struggling to trust others, feeling responsible for other people's emotions, avoiding conflict, people-pleasing, or always preparing for something to go wrong. Sometimes you know exactly where these patterns came from. Other times, you simply know that you no longer feel like yourself.
At TIC Wellness Center, we provide a safe, compassionate, and trauma-informed space for individuals healing from childhood trauma, domestic violence, intimate partner violence, emotional or psychological abuse, physical abuse, relationship trauma, betrayal, coercive or controlling relationships, and other painful life experiences.
We understand that healing is not about simply “getting over” what happened. Trauma can affect your sense of safety, relationships, self-esteem, boundaries, emotional regulation, and the way your mind and body respond to stress. Behaviors that may feel frustrating today—shutting down, staying on high alert, disconnecting emotionally, or trying to keep everyone happy—may have once helped you survive.
Therapy gives you the opportunity to understand these responses without judgment and begin creating something different.
Our approach is trauma-informed, culturally responsive, survivor-centered, and evidence-informed. You will never be pressured to share more than you are ready to discuss. We move at your pace, respect your choices, and work collaboratively with you to strengthen coping skills, establish healthier boundaries, recognize unhealthy relationship patterns, process traumatic experiences when you are ready, rebuild self-worth, and develop a greater sense of safety and control.
You are more than what happened to you. Whether you are still trying to understand your experience, considering leaving an unhealthy relationship, rebuilding after abuse, or addressing trauma from years ago, you deserve support that honors your story, your culture, your strength, and your right to choose what healing looks like for you.
You don't have to heal alone.
