Online therapy throughout Ohio
Trauma Therapy in Ohio
A steady, compassionate place to understand what happened, how it still affects you, and what moving forward can look like.
Trauma can continue to shape daily life long after an experience has ended. You may feel on guard, disconnected, easily overwhelmed, stuck in painful patterns, or unsure why certain situations bring such strong reactions.
Therapy can offer a safe place to understand these responses and move forward at a pace that feels manageable. Elena Rodgers and Myles Kalina-Hammond provide trauma-informed online therapy for teens and adults throughout Ohio.
Support shaped around your life
Support for What You’re Carrying
Trauma responses can look different from person to person. You do not need to have a prepared narrative or have everything figured out before beginning therapy.
01
Past Experiences That Still Feel Present
Memories, emotions, or physical reactions can surface unexpectedly and make it difficult to feel grounded in the present. Therapy can help you understand these experiences without rushing or minimizing them.
02
Triggers & Feeling on Guard
You may find yourself scanning for danger, reacting strongly to reminders, or having difficulty fully relaxing. Therapy can support you in recognizing these patterns and developing a greater sense of steadiness.
03
Avoidance, Shutdown & Disconnection
Pulling away, feeling numb, or avoiding certain places, people, and conversations may have helped you cope. Therapy can help you explore these responses with care and gradually create more security.
04
Trust, Boundaries & Relationships
Trauma can affect closeness, communication, boundaries, and your ability to trust yourself or others. Therapy offers space to understand these patterns and work toward relationships that feel safer and more connected.
