Trauma

Counseling for Trauma for Professionals, College Students, Graduate Students, Teachers, Administrators, Clergy, Nurses, and Other Professionals Across Virginia

Trauma can have a profound impact on your mental, emotional, and physical well-being. Whether you've experienced childhood trauma, accidents, natural disasters, or emotional abuse, the effects can linger and interfere with your ability to live a fulfilling life. At Freedom Support Services, we specialize in helping individuals process and heal from trauma in a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental environment.


Our experienced counselors are trained in trauma-informed approaches and offer individualized therapy to address trauma’s impact on your personal, academic, or professional life. We help you understand how trauma manifests in your thoughts, behaviors, and relationships, and support you in developing healthier coping mechanisms and emotional resilience.


Signs You May Benefit from Trauma Counseling:

- Flashbacks or unwanted memories related to traumatic events

- Experiencing nightmares, anxiety, or panic attacks

- Feeling detached or emotionally numb, as if you're disconnected from your body or surroundings

- Avoiding situations, places, or people that remind you of the trauma

- Excessive guilt or shame about the traumatic event

- Struggling with low self-worth, depression, or anxiety related to the trauma

- Hypervigilance, always feeling on edge or in danger

- Experiencing difficulty concentrating or managing stress in everyday life

- Self-destructive behaviors like substance use or unhealthy relationships as a way to cope
