Trauma Therapy in Boca Raton, FL
Online Therapy in Boca Raton and across Florida & California
You ordinarily feel capable of handling what life throws at you, but this time things are different. Perhaps your world just changed in the blink of an eye, or perhaps this has been a long time coming. Regardless, it feels like your world got turned upside down.
Maybe you’re getting a divorce, became a caregiver, received a diagnosis, or walked away from all that was stable and familiar in your life. You’re experiencing a “loss of life”, just not in the traditional sense.
You may feel ashamed of the way you’re behaving, and feel immense guilt and shame. You feel the pressure to keep up with life as usual, but nothing about life is feeling usual. You don’t know who to talk to - maybe you’ve lost your support system, or maybe you feel the pressure to keep up like usual - and it's lonely. This time, you need help getting through tough times.
You don’t have to do this all on your own.
I am here to help.
All of us face changes in life…but not all of us face changes in the same way.
A compassionate corner of the internet, just for you
Hi, I’m Jenna, your trauma-informed Therapist in Boca Raton!
You’ve been to therapy before, and felt like it was focused on everything that was “wrong” with you.
You’ve felt unable to make the changes you say you want to, and have been told you’re not motivated enough.
Or perhaps you’re afraid of being shamed or judged in therapy, so you’ve hesitated to ask for help.
That’s not how I operate as a therapist.
Rather than trying to fix you, my focus is on helping you to tap into your inner strength and intuition. I specialize in working with adults who are navigating painful chapters of life and are experiencing grief and traumatic responses.
I value vulnerability, playfulness and authenticity in the work I do with my clients. Our sessions will be collaborative and I will promote your empowerment and choice at each step of the way.
My Therapeutic Approach
-
A non-pathologizing approach that helps us to understand our minds as being made up of numerous “parts” – like a team inside of you– all with the intention to help and protect you. We work together to unburden parts carrying wounds and extreme beliefs and help you to establish a sense of safety and security from within.
-
Focused on bringing awareness to and challenging irrational and unhelpful thoughts and beliefs. Therapy supports clients in developing skills to promote healthier responses to difficult or triggering situations.
-
This approach offers practical tools and useful techniques to promote the development of mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance and interpersonal skills. Helpful for clients who feel easily overwhelmed, reactive or on edge.
-
A mindfulness-based modality that is focused on helping people to treat themselves with the same love and warmth that they naturally offer others. Helpful for reducing feelings of shame through development of resilience and self-kindness.
