Trauma Therapy for PTSD and Complex Trauma (CPSTD) in Cleveland, Ohio
Specialized support for healing and recovery
You May Be Here Because…
You feel constantly overwhelmed, emotionally dysregulated, or disconnected from yourself.
You struggle to trust others or feel safe in relationships.
You may be insightful about your past, but still feel stuck in patterns that you cannot change.
Many people who are healing from trauma carry a deep feeling that something is ‘wrong’ with them - that they are too much, broken, or difficult to love. These are trauma responses that your mind and body developed in order to survive overwhelming experiences.
Healing is possible and you don’t have to do it alone.
Who I am:
Hello, I’m Christine, a trauma therapist in Cleveland, Ohio with over 20 years of experience supporting children, adults, and families healing from the deep, lasting impacts of trauma. I specialize in working with people healing from post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and complex trauma (CPTSD) by offering evidence-based, trauma-focused psychotherapy and holistic healing modalities.
My services are in-person, virtually (in Ohio), or on-site at your location. Sessions may incorporate eye movement desensitization reprocessing (EMDR), art therapy and somatic (body-based) practices for mind-body-spirit integration. Additional holistic services, including private yoga instruction and Thai massage, are also available.

My Offerings
Holistic Wellness:
My wellness services are based upon ancient healing modalities and aimed to restore balance and renewal through embodied, physical techniques. These can be used alongside your trauma therapy or by anyone seeking stand-alone services. To ensure ethical boundaries, psychotherapy clients can only receive Thai massage from another independent practitioner, Rachel Metz, who offers her services out of the same space.
