Before I became a therapist, I worked as a social worker among women and children in for over six years. During this time, I often felt frustrated because many of the people I helped were stuck in their situations due to trauma or their inability to overcome fears and emotions. My role involved helping people meet their needs, improve their quality of life, and make a positive impact. However, I noticed that many of my clients couldn't fully benefit from the resources available to them because their mental health issues hindered their progress. This frustration led me to feel a bit lost, and I decided to become a mental health therapist.

Trauma is an experience that is unexpected, your couldn’t have prepared for it. Your emotions and body are typically overwhelmed, and it changes the way that you view your life or operate in it. With that in mind, each therapist at Panorama Wellness is trauma-informed. So what does that mean about how we work to serve you?
