LGBTQIA+ & BIPOC Therapy

Prism Therapy Solutions was founded with the goal of working with kids, teens, and adults who are part of the LGBTQIA+ and/or BIPOC community, but we also welcome folks of all backgrounds and identities. As members of these communities, we understand the challenges faced within them. These struggles can start early and be present throughout different stages of life. It’s our mission to help you develop realistic tools for navigating these issues and develop a strong sense of self.

When we think of traumatic experiences, they might typically involve terrifying, life-threatening moments. While those are, in fact, forms of trauma, they aren’t the only forms. People can experience trauma in any situation. Trauma comes from the feelings a person has about an event or circumstance. These can include feeling afraid, overwhelmed, helpless, and other negative emotions or experiences.

In short, emotional and psychological trauma may be abundantly clear in some cases and less obvious in others. It’s important to remember that the objective facts surrounding any moment are not what we use to determine the level of trauma an event can impose on a person. It’s all about how someone felt about the event as it was happening and after the immediate moment passed. Understanding what trauma may look like is key to seeking help and addressing the issues that result. 

How Can CBT Help?

There are several ways CBT can help, including dealing with anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It can also be helpful for individuals who may not feel the impacts of any diagnosed mental health disorder, but want to find more effective ways to tackle stressful situations that come up in daily life.

How Can TF-CBT Help?

Although TF-CBT was initially developed to address children who had experienced sexual abuse, the treatment has grown to serve many children, teens, and young adults who have gone through any form of trauma. This treatment can help address issues stemming from trauma such as anger, depression, anxiety, and feelings of guilt or powerlessness. It can also address symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), which can involve sleep problems, recurring intrusive thoughts, concentration issues, and more.

How Can EMDR Help?

There are several ways CBT can help, including dealing with anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It can also be helpful for individuals who may not feel the impacts of any diagnosed mental health disorder, but want to find more effective ways to tackle stressful situations that come up in daily life.
