Anxiety, Trauma, And Kids
You love your child, it's amazing to watch them grow and change, but they are in so much pain right now and you can't seem to do anything to ease it.
As a parent, you couldn't stop them from experiencing the hurt, but you are trying your best to help them heal from it. But they shut you down, they don’t want to talk about it. You get it . . . but you know they need something.
They try to pretend they are alright, but you can see the pain in their eyes from what they have been through. They used to be happy, but now they are irritable, sad, angry, and anxious. They startle easily and panic when anything reminds them of their painful past.
My name is Crysta and I help kids and teens in Eureka, CA, who are struggling to manage their big feelings or have been through a bad experience. I help children learn to cope with the stress, sadness, problems with attachment or connection to others, and the memories. I give you and your child the tools and strategies you can use immediately to change this pattern of anxiety, panic, sadness, helplessness, and the feeling they cannot escape the past or the memories. I also help families reconnect after trauma has happened and strengthen their bond.
My therapy approaches go beyond traditional talk therapy into cutting edge, research based counseling approaches for online and in person sessions to help your child heal their traumatic memories. They don’t even have to talk about what happened to heal if they don’t want to! You can learn more about my trauma therapy approaches here: EMDR, TFCBT, and Play and Art Therapy.
