The beauty of life is that it ebbs and flows. We make meaning out of our lived experiences and these experiences inform how we understand the world around us. For those who have been harmed substantially, the world may shine a little less bright. Memories of trauma may have lasting impacts on one’s mental wellbeing and hinder the ability to cope with stress, form positive relationships, and face challenges that lie ahead. There may even be a sense of hopelessness in terms of healing from the experience.
Psychotherapy is one avenue that can help plant a seed of hope for trauma survivors. Therapy helps to regenerate power and restores vibrancy back into the lives of survivors.
our work
Hiwa offers individual therapy services to a limited number of clients in the Washington, DC area. It is our mission to provide holistic care to trauma survivors. This is achieved through evidence-based interventions where acceptance, compassion, and empathy are cornerstones of the therapeutic process.
Dr. Maya Angelou once said, “We may encounter many defeats but we must not be defeated.”
Let’s fight the battle together.
