Trauma can change how you experience the world — how safe you feel in your body, how you relate to others, and how your nervous system responds to stress. You may feel constantly on edge, emotionally numb, overwhelmed by memories, or disconnected from yourself and the people you care about.
​
At Health Allies Counseling, we provide trauma-informed therapy for adults who want to heal at their own pace, rebuild a sense of safety, and move forward with greater stability and self-trust.
Our Approach to healing

1
What we mean by trauma
Trauma is not defined solely by what happened — it’s defined by how your mind and body experienced it.
Trauma can result from:
​
-
Childhood abuse or neglect
-
Emotional, physical, or sexual trauma
-
Relationship or attachment trauma
-
Medical or health-related trauma
-
Accidents or sudden loss
-
Chronic stress or ongoing adversity
-
Systemic or identity-based trauma
-
Complex or developmental trauma
-
​
You don’t need a specific diagnosis or a single “big event” for your experiences to matter.

What solutions can therapy help me with?
Trauma can affect both mental and physical wellbeing, including:
-
Anxiety, panic, or hypervigilance
-
Depression or emotional numbness
-
Difficulty trusting or connecting with others
-
Intrusive thoughts or memories
-
Dissociation or feeling “shut down”
-
Chronic stress or exhaustion
-
Physical tension or pain
-
Shame, guilt, or self-criticism
-
Difficulty sleeping or relaxing
Trauma responses are not weaknesses — they are adaptive survival responses that helped you get through something difficult.
