Kensington MD Trauma Therapist
Trauma can result from various experiences, including physical or emotional abuse, neglect, a major event like a car accident, and more. Anyone can experience trauma, regardless of their age, background, or other circumstances. When experiencing trauma, it’s the body’s natural response to go into “fight or flight” mode. This mode releases hormones like adrenaline and cortisol that can help the person deal with the event as they’re experiencing it.
Afterwards, people can find it difficult to manage their emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. People may dissociate or slip into bad habits like addictions to ignore their trauma. Others may find themselves only being able to focus on the trauma, resulting in issues like depression and anxiety.
Our Kensington trauma therapists are here to help individuals deal with their trauma. We provide a non-judgmental safe space where individuals can process their traumatic experiences and work towards healing. Many of our patients will have a specific goal in mind, such as overcoming their trauma to improve their personal or professional life. Others may need help managing emotions like anger or sadness.
Our team understands there’s not a one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to trauma therapy. We can recommend different strategies to help you overcome your trauma. Besides dealing directly with your trauma, our team can help you manage other aspects of your life.
