We find ourselves in the middle of incredibly difficult times. All of us at Trauma Informed Therapies want to convey a message of commitment, compassion, and solidarity to our cherished community. We are aware that many lives have been negatively impacted by COVID-19, especially those dealing with pre-existing health conditions and those whose livelihoods are in jeopardy. We are holding a deep amount of concern for the well-being of all and taking every necessary measure to provide therapeutic work that honors safety above all else during these times.

Furthermore, we are attentive to the fact that Black people and all People of Color are not only being disproportionately impacted by the struggles of COVID19, but also by the extremely traumatic impact of police brutality, current and historic oppressions, and systemic racism in this country.

As a staff, we are committed to processing our own trauma responses to these current events and to do our own therapeutic work so that we can be our best version of ourselves for those we serve. We also have a commitment to ongoing learning regarding antiracism. As an organization we will be learning and training together to do this work. Our utmost goal is to honor each person that walks through our door for exactly who they are, creating an experience of safety and listening so that each person can feel able to unpack the traumas that they have been carrying. We are committed to holding compassionate space for each other and for our clients for the natural feelings of anger, fear, helplessness, guilt, hopelessness and despair in addition to the moments that are hope filled, growth filled, and full of opportunity for positive change.

Sincerely, The Team at Trauma Informed Therapies
