If you are an adult survivor of childhood abuse, a survivor of adult onset trauma or survivor of military combat trauma, let me help you. If you are too easily startled, have difficulty functioning in crowds, have to be able to see the exits in public spaces or experience nightmares or flashbacks, you may be struggling with trauma. There are treatment modalities that can help and together we can decide what can help you connect to life.
Do you find yourself worrying constantly, consistently trying to prepare for the worst, have difficulty with focus and concentration due to anxiety? Therapy can help you to manage your anxiety so that it is no longer managing you.
Does it feel as if getting out of bed is more an effort than it should be? Do you feel sad most of the time, lonely, experiencing changes in your appetite or sleep? You may be struggling with depression. Therapy can help you to move through the fog and connect to your life.
Connect Counseling also offers community education presentations ideal for awareness and advocacy related to sexual abuse and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder. These presentations provide clinically-based information in a format for the general public. Presentations are 2 hours in length, but can be modified to meet your organization's time constraints.
Not sure if your organization would benefit? Consider these questions: 1) Do the members of your organization know the warning signs of sexual abuse? 2) Do the members of your organization know how to talk to a child who demonstrates signs that they have been abused? 3) Do you have any members of your organization who are impacted by trauma by either direct experience or the experience of a loved one? 4) Do the members of your organization know the common triggers for those who have a trauma history? Each of these questions are addressed in one of our community education presentations. Connect Counseling can help you build a more inclusive community that feels emotional safe for everyone and reduce the stigmas associated with these issues. Fees for this service are negotiated based on the need of the organization.
