Trauma may always be part of your story.
The symptoms don't have to be.
At Shoreview Psychotherapy, we believe real recovery is possible — not just learning to manage your symptoms, but genuinely healing. You can live a life that isn't ruled by triggers, shame, or the weight of what happened to you.
PTSD IS NOT A LIFE SENTENCE
If you trust popular media, Complex Trauma and PTSD look like a life sentence. Most depictions leave survivors with a best-case scenario of a life ruled by triggers, flashbacks, and shame, where the highest hope is learning to cope. That is simply not true.
You can recover - in a real way - from traumatic experiences.
By the time most people find us, they've spent years trying to manage their symptoms: avoiding triggers, white-knuckling through hard days, building a life around what their nervous system won't let them do. We believe there is more possible than that.
Real recovery means your nervous system learns how to feel safe. It means changing your relationship to the memories, the triggers, the shame. Not just tolerating them, but no longer being ruled by them. It means building a life where trauma might be part of your story, but doesn't have to be the organizing principle of it.
CARE AT SHOREVIEW PSYCHOTHERAPY
We work with adults navigating complex trauma, PTSD, dissociation, Dissociative Identity Disorder, religious trauma, religious deconstruction, anxiety, depression, and identity exploration, including the sometimes complicated process of figuring out who you are on the other side of what happened to you.
Shoreview is an explicitly affirming practice. We loudly and proudly serve the LGBTQIA+ community, and are Trans-affirming, Neurodivergent-affirming, and Poly/ENM-affirming. We are sex positive, committed to cultural humility, and centered in social justice and equity in healthcare. We strive to create a space where all people feel seen, respected, and supported.
Our work draws from evidence-based trauma therapies including EMDR, Brainspotting, ACT, Ego State Therapy, CBT, DBT, art therapy, drama therapy, and psychodynamic approaches, offered in a flexible, client-centered way. For clients who are interested, holistic and intuitive practices may be integrated thoughtfully.
Care here is real, relational, and grounded. We value authenticity, humor, and showing up as human in the therapy room.
