Trauma can manifest in many different ways, impacting individuals in complex ways and affecting their mental and emotional well-being.
As we strive to support those who have experienced trauma, it is crucial that we as a practice adopt a holistic approach that considers the complex interplay of factors that contribute to a person's overall health.

One approach that has gained recognition in recent years is often referred to as Trauma-Informed Care (TIC).
This approach goes beyond simply treating the symptoms of trauma and focuses on creating an environment that promotes healing, safety, and empowerment for individuals who have experienced trauma.
By recognising the widespread impact of trauma and understanding how it can shape a person's worldview and behaviors, practitioners can provide more effective and compassionate care.
At Internal Growth Holistic Psychology, we are committed to providing comprehensive Trauma-Informed Care services that enhances the well-being of our clients.
Founded by Rebecca Armstrong, a West Coast Clinical Psychologist with a passion for supporting individuals in their healing journey, our practice offers a range of services designed to address the complex needs of those who have experienced trauma.
Our Trauma-Informed Care workshops are designed to educate both professionals and individuals on the principles and practices of TIC.
These workshops cover topics such as the prevalence of trauma, the impact of trauma on the brain and body, and strategies for creating safe and supportive environments for healing.
By equipping our community with the knowledge and tools needed to implement TIC principles in their own practices, we hope to foster a more supportive and understanding environment for individuals who have experienced trauma.
In addition to our workshops, we also offer Neurodiversity Assessments and Treatment services to ensure that each individual's unique needs are met with sensitivity and respect. By taking a holistic approach that considers the diversity of human experience, we can better understand and support our clients in their healing journey.
At Internal Growth Holistic Psychology, we believe that true healing comes from a comprehensive and compassionate approach to care.
By centering our practice around trauma-informed principles and embracing the complexity of human experience, we strive to create a safe and empowering environment for all of our clients.
Through education, support, and a deep commitment to the well-being of those we serve, we hope to make a meaningful difference in the lives of individuals who have experienced trauma.
