Traumas are deeply distressing or disturbing experiences that alter our mental, physical, and emotional functioning. They impact how we think, how we feel, and how we see everything that surrounds us every single day. Unprocessed and unaddressed trauma can often lead to a life of just surviving instead of thriving. Therapists at Core Counseling can help you reclaim your life by offering support and guidance toward overcoming and healing from your traumas.
