We offer motivated clients:
- An understanding of how trauma is affecting everyday life
- Skills to regulate overwhelming emotions
- Tools for managing and decreasing flashbacks or disturbing reminders
- Opportunities to rewrite limiting beliefs and narratives
- A strategy for shifting perspective on current struggles.trauma

Our therapists have walked our own personal walks with stress, trauma, or anxiety. We all continue to do the work of healing in our own lives and can offer a unique perspective on your journey. Each of us is committed to you, the client, being the expert on your own life. We believe our job is to nudge, not push; shine a light in your dark places, not expect you to walk alone; encourage new narratives, not direct your show.
Each therapist at Breathing Space is ready and waiting to welcome YOU!
