Trauma is less about an event that happens and more about an internal experience that happens to us- inside of us. When we experience trauma we feel fragmented internally- feeling disconnected from parts of ourselves, our relationships with others, and the world around us. It's a lonely time.

Healing from trauma is a process of reconnecting to who we are; feeling safe enough to be present with our emotions, understanding our needs and setting boundaries, as well as being able to experience the joys and pleasures of everyday life. Henny Stern, LICSW's style of therapy is both "bottom up" and relational, drawing from her training in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy (Somatic therapy) and Psychodynamic theory. Henny's presence, empathy, and direct approach help her client's to feel seen and met from their very first interaction. Henny works with her client's collaboratively to support them moving from instability to safety, processing the trauma, and finally moving towards the other side of trauma.
