De-Pathologizing Childhood Trauma Group

A Women’s Group

Our approach to trauma:

Research has shown that trauma is a brain injury; it is not a personal failing.

We believe in taking a non-pathologizing approach in the treatment of trauma. The goal of trauma treatment is to heal the injury.

This group will provide specific education about the impact of trauma and will allow group members to reflect on and process their unique experiences. We want to build appreciation for the creative ways we've survived, while increasing empathy for ourselves and others.

Logistics:

This twelve-week group will begin in March (official start date to follow). The group will take place on Mondays at 6:45pm at Takoma Therapy - 6930 Carroll Avenue, Suite 610. Takoma Park, MD, 20912. We strongly encourage you to attend every group session to maintain group cohesion and to get the most out of your group experience.

This is a private pay group. The fee per session is $75.

Who we are:

Chelsea Turner, MPP, LMSW and Jessica Jenkins, LMSW are both therapists at Takoma Therapy. We work with individuals who have experienced childhood trauma and take a similar psychodynamic and relational approach. We believe you are not your trauma. We are looking forward to working with you.
