01

Online · California only · $250 per session

02

Couples therapy

Trauma-informed therapy for couples who want to examine interaction patterns, communicate with greater clarity, and work toward shared relationship goals.

Trauma-informed care

A way of working, not a third service.

Trauma-informed care means the therapeutic process gives deliberate attention to safety, trustworthiness, transparency, collaboration, empowerment, voice, and choice. It also seeks to avoid unnecessary re-traumatization.

This lens can guide both individual and couples therapy without assuming that every concern is trauma based. It does not mean the practice offers EMDR, formal trauma evaluations, or every trauma-focused treatment.
