Is your past is holding you back? Are you stuck in survival mode? Overwhelmed, dysregulated, or disconnected? Is it hard to trust others or feel safe in your own body?
If you resonate, I am here to help. I understand the intricacies of deep, relational, and complex trauma (CPTSD) and it is my mission to provide quality, authentic, whole-person care.
Christine Check, founder and trauma-focused therapist. With over 20 years of experience helping people recover from trauma, I use an evidence-based and holistic approach to therapy, understanding that trauma affects the mind, body, and spirit.
Specialties:
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) - Childhood abuse, neglect, and sexual abuse.
Complex trauma (CPTSD) - Attachment wounds, human trafficking, domestic violence, relational, developmental and generational trauma, bullying, and chronic invalidation.
Nervous System Dysregulation - Perfectionists, people-pleasers, high achievers, conflict avoiders, and the ones who appear to be ‘holding it all together.’
What is Trauma Therapy?
When trauma occurs, your ability to cope in the moment can be disrupted and the thinking part of the brain may go offline. Unprocessed traumatic memories are often stored as scattered fragments rather than a cohesive narrative. Communication between the thinking, emotional, and survival parts of the brain can break down, leaving the nervous system stuck on high alert and unable to register that you are now safe. Small, often unconscious reminders, like a tone of voice or a smell, can trigger the nervous system to respond as if the experience is still happening.
This helps explain why you can have clear insight into your patterns and still feel stuck. The goal of trauma therapy is to reconnect these parts of the brain so the past can remain in the past. Because trauma is complex, non‑linear, and unique to each person, I offer a range of therapeutic options to meet individual needs.
