Women & Trauma

Being a woman in this world today is one of the toughest experiences any of us has to go through. Sometimes we can feel utterly alone in this world. When you come to therapy with us, you gain an understanding that you are not alone. We help you come to the realization that being a woman in this world does not mean you have to live life quietly.

Meet Your Therapist, Eva Light

I'm not a flawless professional with a handbook. I'm a human who understands, and my goal is to guide you to where you want to be.

My style as a therapist includes working with you to find the best way to navigate therapy, meeting you with radical acceptance and cutting through the bullshit, and getting down to the facts with you to find your story. I want to encourage you to be your most authentic self!
