Trauma

Reclaim Your Story

Healing from trauma isn’t about erasing the past; it’s about reclaiming your right to safety, connection, joy, and authenticity. At Vada Counseling, we’re committed to supporting your journey in a way that honors your lived experience, your strengths, and your right to define what healing looks like for you.

sexual trauma

Addressing sexual trauma can feel overwhelming and scary. Our therapists understand the complex impact that sexual trauma can have on your relationships, body, and sense of self, especially when you’re part of a community that has been marginalized and misunderstood.

Healing is about more than just reducing symptoms, it’s about reconnecting with yourself and finding a sense of empowerment and peace. Whether you're looking to explore emotions, establish boundaries, process painful memories, or feel more at home in your body, we’re here for you.

Relational and family trauma

Family and relational wounds run deep, particularly for LGBTQ+ folks who may have faced rejection, conflict, or misunderstanding from those closest to them. We’re here to help you unpack and heal from those painful dynamics in a safe, non-judgmental space. Together, we’ll explore how these relationships have shaped you, work on setting boundaries, and rebuild a sense of self rooted in acceptance and strength. Whether you’re navigating childhood trauma, unhealthy or violent relationships, or just want support in building healthier connections, we’re here to help you find a path forward that feels true to you.

Collective, intergenerational, and ancestral trauma

We recognize that trauma isn’t just personal—it’s collective, generational, and ancestral, shaping the ways we navigate the world. Our therapists provide space to explore how systemic violence and oppression, cultural displacement, genocide, and inherited family patterns may be impacting you. When you’re ready to process historical harm, intergenerational wounds, or the weight of community trauma, we’ll be here to support you. Through a compassionate, culturally affirming approach, we can help you break cycles, honor your lineage, and move toward a future rooted in liberation and self-determination.

You’re not alone

If you’re ready to start healing from trauma, we’re here to help you figure out what that looks like. At Vada, you’ll find a space where your experiences are respected, your identities are affirmed, and your community has your back.
