At Flourish Counseling, I understand that the journey to mental well-being is the key to happiness and health. And because you’re reading this, I know that you, or someone very special to you, is hurting. I faced a similar point in my life that you may be facing as well. I was in my mid 30's before I became aware of how trauma from my childhood was affecting my choices, my relationships, and my happiness, all in very negative ways. Until then I was completely unaware that constant verbal abuse, physical threats, and simply living with a parent with a serious substance use disorder had wired my brain to react in certain ways.

Since then I have come to realize that many people, who are living with similar symptoms and behavior patterns, also grew up in violent and/or abusive homes. Do you find yourself always apologizing for things you didn't do? Are you a people-pleaser? Do you often find yourself in relationships that are volatile or don't last? You may be experiencing symptoms of unresolved trauma. If you feel like this is you, click the link below and schedule an appointment today. The good news is, regardless of age, the plasticity of the brain allows us to change! Don't delay. Pursue your happiness!
