What Happened to You
Doesn't Have to Define You

Trauma changes the way we see ourselves, others, and the world. With the right support, healing is not only possible — it's something you deserve.

Types of Trauma

Trauma Comes in Many Forms

You don't need to have experienced one defining event for your pain to be real. All trauma deserves care.

Childhood & Developmental Trauma

Neglect, emotional or physical abuse, growing up in an unpredictable home. What happened in your earliest years shapes everything — and it can be healed.

Racial & Cultural Trauma

The cumulative weight of racism, discrimination, and systemic injustice. Tabitha is a Racial Justice Ally who understands this pain in her bones.

Relationship & Attachment Trauma

Betrayal, emotional abuse, complicated grief, toxic relationships that left lasting wounds. Healing means learning to trust again — including yourself.

PTSD & Acute Trauma

A single event — assault, accident, sudden loss — that your nervous system never fully recovered from. Intrusive memories, hypervigilance, numbness.

Complex Trauma (C-PTSD)

Repeated, ongoing trauma that builds over time. Often includes difficulty regulating emotions, identity disruption, and deep shame.

Secondary & Vicarious Trauma

First responders, healthcare workers, therapists, advocates — absorbing others' trauma leaves its own mark. You deserve care too.

The Approach

Trauma-Informed Therapy,
From Someone Who Gets It

Tabitha's entire practice is built on trauma-informed principles. That means every session is paced by you, grounded in safety, and never forces you to relive anything before you're ready.

Using a blend of somatic (body-based) techniques, expressive arts therapy, mindfulness, and evidence-based modalities, Tabitha meets you where you are — not where a textbook says you should be.

“Healing from trauma isn't about forgetting what happened. It's about no longer being controlled by it.”

— Tabitha Evans, LCSW

A note on safety

Trauma therapy is never rushed. Tabitha will not push you to share more than you're ready to share. The first priority is always helping you feel safe — in the room, in your body, and in the process.

You've Survived. Now It's Time to Thrive.
