Is This You?

You might be thinking:

  • "I don't trust anyone."
  • "I am a shell of myself."
  • "Certain sounds or places put me right back there."
  • "I keep busy so I don't have to think about it."

You Have Waited Long Enough

Many people of color carry trauma for years before anyone asks about it. Sometimes care wasn't available. Sometimes it didn't feel safe to ask.

We started this practice so you could talk with someone who understands culture as well as trauma. You decide what to share, and when.

What We Help With

  • Complex trauma from childhood or long-term stress
  • PTSD
  • Combat-related PTSD
  • Traumatic brain injury
  • Sexual assault and abuse
  • Nightmares, flashbacks and feeling on guard

How We Work

  • Trauma-focused CBT

    Understanding how the trauma shaped your thoughts, then gently changing the ones that hurt.

  • Cognitive processing therapy

    Looking at the beliefs the trauma left behind, like "it was my fault", and questioning them.

  • Prolonged exposure

    Slowly and safely facing memories and situations you have been avoiding, with support.

Common Questions

Do I have to talk about what happened right away?
No. Many clients spend the first sessions on safety and coping before going near the memories.
Do you work with veterans?
Yes. Demetria Flowers and Lyndsay Dawson, LPC Associates, work with trauma, including for veterans and first responders.
What if I start to feel worse?
Tell your counselor. You can slow down or change the plan at any time. In a crisis, call or text 988, or call 911.
