Welcome to Advanced Trauma Recovery & Mental Healthcare, where we specialize in providing trauma-informed and evidence based care for individuals dealing with the effects of trauma. We understand that taking the first step toward healing can be difficult, and we’re here to offer a supportive, transparent, and affirming path forward.

Whether you struggle with PTSD, anxiety, or other trauma related issues, know that there is hope for a better tomorrow. We are here to help you work through trauma, abuse, critical incidents, adversity, and life threatening events.

Beyond therapy, we have advanced training and experience in psychological assessment, providing specialized services like conducting independent psychological evaluations and completing Disability Benefit Questionnaires (DBQs) for Veterans Disability claims. We provide thorough and individualized assessment and documentation.

Our Approach to Care

We believe that high-quality psychological care is built on a foundation of trust, expertise, and a genuine commitment to your well-being. Our core values include:

~ Reliability & Transparency: You can count on clear, honest communication about your treatment, our practices, and what to expect throughout your journey.

~ Affirming Care: We are committed to providing a safe, inclusive, and validating space for everyone, honoring your identity and experiences.

~ Trauma-Informed & Evidence-Based Practice: We utilize the most current and effective evidence-based treatments—like Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)—while always viewing your care through a trauma informed lens. This ensures your treatment is not only effective but also compassionate and tailored to your specific needs.

~ Goodness of Fit: We know that the relationship between you and your psychologist is one of the most important factors in successful therapy. This goodness of fit is essential. To help you find the right match without pressure, we offer a free 15-minute initial consultation. This is a chance for you to ask questions, learn more about our approach, and ensure you feel comfortable taking the next step.

~ Specialized, Individualized Care: While we specialize in evidence-based treatments for trauma, we recognize that no two healing journeys are the same. That’s why we emphasize individualized therapy treatment plans and assessments.
