Individual & Family Counseling

Kintsugi: A Healing Metaphor for Individual and Family Therapy
At Trauma and The Art of Healing PLLC, we understand that every person and family faces unique challenges in their journey toward emotional well-being. Life’s struggles can create fractures in our sense of self and our relationships, but with the right support, these cracks can become the foundation for growth and resilience. Drawing inspiration from Kintsugi—the Japanese art of mending broken pottery with gold—we view therapy as a process of honoring imperfections, transforming pain into strength, and creating something even more beautiful than before.
Individual Therapy
Life can sometimes feel overwhelming, leaving you feeling stuck, disconnected, or unsure of how to move forward. Individual therapy at Trauma and The Art of Healing PLLC offers a compassionate, non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences with the guidance of a skilled therapist. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, or life transitions, we are here to support you every step of the way.
Our approach is rooted in understanding the unique story each person carries. Just as Kintsugi highlights the beauty in repaired pottery, we believe that your challenges and experiences contribute to your strength and resilience. Therapy is not about fixing you—it’s about empowering you to embrace your journey, heal from within, and find renewed purpose and confidence.

Family Therapy
Families are the heart of our support systems, but even the strongest families encounter struggles that can create distance and tension. Family therapy at Trauma and The Art of Healing PLLC is designed to help families navigate these challenges together, fostering open communication, resolving conflicts, and rebuilding trust.
Just like the art of Kintsugi, where broken pieces are mended to create something stronger, family therapy helps repair strained relationships and encourages families to see challenges as opportunities for growth. Whether you’re dealing with conflicts, transitions, or unresolved emotional wounds, we offer a supportive space where every family member’s voice is heard and valued.
