Trauma Therapy
TREATMENT THAT BRINGS HEALING TO EVEN THE OLDEST HURTS
Trauma is common; research tells us that about 90% of us at one time or another will experience something in our lives that is traumatic. Most of the time, people experience difficulty after that traumatic event, and eventually, they return to functioning like they were before the traumatic event.
Some continue to experience symptoms long after that traumatic event occurred. Symptoms like anger/irritability, nightmares, times when trauma shows up during the day when you’re not expecting it, feeling disconnected from other people, not wanting to go places or do things anymore, and thoughts that the world isn’t safe, or people (or self) can’t be trusted.
Trauma changes us. It does not have to restrict your life. It is absolutely possible to create a life that makes room for the trauma that you experienced, AND doesn’t allow that trauma to control your actions or relationships. It’s been my privilege to help people shrink the impact of trauma and create lives that are full of meaning and joy.
Disordered Eating & Body Image
Struggles with food and body image are common, but for some, these challenges begin to dominate their thoughts and routines. What begins as an attempt to ease emotional or physical pain may evolve into a harmful focus on weight, appearance, or food. Over time, the very behaviors that once provided comfort can begin to take control. Eating disorders affect people of all genders, races, sexualities, sizes, and abilities, often in ways that are overlooked or dismissed. Marginalized individuals, including people of color, LGBTQ+ folks, neurodivergent and disabled individuals, and those in larger bodies, may be at higher risk and face barriers to compassionate care. At Mend Therapy, we offer trauma-informed, culturally sensitive treatment for disordered eating and body image concerns. Depending on your needs, we may coordinate care with medical and nutritional professionals. Everyone’s process of healing is unique, so please reach out to learn how we can support you.

We heal in community. Sometimes the way for us to grow the most is with other people and that is why we are proud to offer group therapy and intensive group therapy experiences.
