Healing from Complex Trauma & PTSD

Trauma changes how we see ourselves, how we relate to others, and how safe we feel in our own bodies. If you’re carrying the weight of childhood wounds, relational harm, spiritual trauma, or long-held pain, you’re not alone. At Grace Hope Counseling of Florida, we offer compassionate, body- and faith-aware care for those walking the long road of healing from complex trauma and PTSD.

✨ Who We Help

We work with adults who have experienced:

• Childhood emotional, physical, or sexual abuse
• Neglect or attachment disruption
• Religious or spiritual trauma
• Domestic violence or relational abuse
• Racial trauma or identity-based oppression
• Medical or reproductive trauma
• Chronic emotional invalidation or identity fragmentation

We also support those living with:

• Complex PTSD (C-PTSD)
• Dissociation or emotional numbing
• Cycles of self-blame, shame, or hyper-independence
• Anxiety, panic, or chronic dysregulation

💛 What We Address

Trauma is not just what happened to you—it’s what still lives in your body and mind. Our work supports you in:

• Making sense of your trauma story without shame
• Reclaiming agency over your emotions and choices
• Processing feelings of guilt, betrayal, or abandonment
• Learning how to feel safe in your body again
• Navigating boundaries, trust, and connection in relationships
• Healing spiritual wounds while honoring your faith and voice

🌿 Our Approach

You deserve a space where you are deeply seen, gently supported, and never rushed.

At Grace Hope Counseling, our trauma healing work is:

• Trauma-Informed & Resilience-Based – Grounded in principles of safety, choice, empowerment, and body awareness
• Polyvagal- and Somatic-Aware – Helping you understand nervous system states and practice co-regulation and grounding
• Faith-Integrated – For clients who desire it, we bring in spiritual reflection, prayer, or scriptural truth to hold pain and hope together
• Culturally Responsive – Sensitive to the role of racial, social, and spiritual identity in both wounding and healing

We honor the TRIRPP framework—Trauma & Resilience-Informed Research & Practice Protocol—to support healing that is both clinical and human.

🌈 The Transformation

Trauma may shape you, but it does not define you. Counseling offers a space to:

• Rebuild trust in yourself and others
• Experience your emotions safely and fully
• Restore a sense of inner calm, voice, and identity
• Release the burdens of shame, fear, and survival
• Reconnect with joy, peace, purpose, and spiritual meaning

You are not broken. You are healing.
