Family, Friends, & Couples Therapy

Trauma doesn’t just affect the individual who directly experiences it; its impact often extends to the broader family and support system. 

When a loved one is dealing with the aftermath of a traumatic event, such as PTSD or other trauma-related conditions, the emotional and psychological effects can create strain and confusion within relationships. At TREC DC, we recognize the importance of addressing these challenges in a supportive and informed manner.
