My group practice specializes in the treatment of trauma spectrum disorders, including post-traumatic stress disorder, dissociative disorders, trauma-related pain, and trauma-related somatic symptoms. Ongoing experiences of verbal, physical, or sexual abuse, neglect, and bullying can lead to these symptoms. Sometimes people suffer these effects because they have experienced chronic invalidation. We treat couples, people in non-traditional partnerships, adolescents who struggle with emotional and behavioral problems. We also treat survivors of sexual violence and targets of workplace bullying. The mind, brain, body, and emotions are all interconnected. We believe that the deepest healing nurtures a process of transformation that goes beyond symptom reduction. We are often able to help people who have previously had difficulty making progress in treatment. In our practice we focus on healing intergenerational cycles of traumatization and violence. When combined with a strong therapeutic alliance, a safe environment, and a reverence for the unique story of each individual, the use of humor can infuse the therapy process with some joy! Please reach out by email as we are unable to respond in a timely way to calls. Patrice Goldstein, LMHC, or Alyssa Abbott, LMHC, will respond to you.
