Trauma can be buried beneath depression, anxiety, and anger.

 The traumatic event(s) may have occurred a week ago, or half a century ago, it directly impacts how we see the world and can affect all aspects of our life.

We support you as you heal and become aware of your inner strengths. We provide a space where you can express yourself. Show up as you - unapologetically authentic!

Racial Trauma

The traumatizing role of microaggressions, systemic oppression, and racial terrorism has profound effects on the black community. Research has linked racism to a host of impairments, including serious psychological distress, physical health problems, depression, and anxiety.

The innocence of the inner child.

Childhood Trauma

Abuse – physical, sexual, and emotional – is traumatic for a child and will affect brain development. It can continue to be impactful throughout adulthood. Some of those traumatic experiences include:

  • neglect and/or extreme poverty
  • a violent household
  • losing a parent or sibling 
  • a mentally ill or addicted parent
  • feeling unsafe in their neighborhood
  • experiencing discrimination based on their race, ethnicity, or sexuality
  • being bullyed

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

Anxiety, fear, and hopelessness are a few emotions that can continue after traumatic events. Sometimes trauma is virtually unnoticeable even to the person's closest friends and family. This highlights the importance of talking to someone after a traumatic event has occurred, even if they show no initial signs of disturbance.

 

The crippling effects of mental distress.

Depression & Anxiety

Depression, fear, and anxiety are some of the most common and uncomfortable emotions that we experience in our lives. Depression symptoms take many forms, and no two people’s experiences are exactly alike. 

Reclaiming our past provides us with valuable knowledge to protect our future while understanding and shifting our present condition.
