Trauma doesn’t just leave memories—it can reshape how a person thinks, feels, and makes sense of the world. Trauma-related thoughts may surface long after the event, often triggered by fear, shock, or moments of overwhelm. Learn how CBT is an effective approach for trauma.

CBT therapy offers practical, evidence-based tools so clients can regain control of their mind rather than letting anxiety lead the way.

When it comes to couples therapy, asexual and aromantic identities often exist outside mainstream conversations about intimacy and love.  Traditional therapy approaches tend to center sex or romance as the default measure of a “healthy” relationship. For asexual and aromantic partners, that framework doesn’t always fit and can feel invalidating. At Healing Voices Psychotherapy, we specialize in supporting couples whose connections don’t follow conventional scripts. Whether you’re both asexual or aromantic, or navigating a mixed-orientation relationship, couples therapy can provide a safe, informed space to explore what partnership and healing dynamics mean to you.

At Healing Voices Psychotherapy, we believe healing from trauma isn’t about erasing the past, but reclaiming life.

Through therapy, clients can release shame, reconnect with their authentic self, and rebuild meaningful relationships. In doing so, they strengthen mental health and embrace a future full of possibility.
