Who We Help
Anyone can be impacted by trauma.
Trauma or toxic stress are often the root cause of issues that keep you from thriving.
Green Circle Collective specializes in helping folks overcome the issues that come from trauma and stress, including PTSD, anxiety, depression, addictions, broken relationships, trust issues, perfectionism, and impulse control. EMDR therapy and group therapy can help begin the healing process for those with similar situations, experiences, and identities such as the ones we specialize in below.
First Responders + Frontline Medical
First responders & frontline medical staff are disproportionately likely to have PTSD from either direct or vicarious trauma.
Being in harm’s way or having to make life-or-death decisions is a heavy burden to bear. Not to mention, you just spent the last 18 months saving us from a global pandemic.
You might be experiencing some discomfort or shame around asking for the emotional and psychological help.
At Green Circle Collective, we love to work with folks that are committed to helping others and the community with their work. It’s okay to get help even if you ARE the helper.
Sexual Assault + Violence Survivors
Every 68 seconds a person in the United States is sexually assaulted. Sexual assault is never your fault, but you are left with the pain and responsibility of dealing with the aftermath.
Whether you experienced sexual assault or violence as a child, teen, or adult therapy can help you process, and provide you some relief from the fear, anxiety, and shame that comes with sexual violence.
When it comes to sexual assault, the cost of therapy should prevent you from getting the help you need. Pennsylvania’s Victim Compensation Fund can help. Learn more about getting financial assistance for sexual assault therapy. Consider filling out the form for the compensation fund.
Alcohol + Drug Use
A very common way to handle stress or trauma is to use alcohol and/or drugs to drown out the negative thoughts, feelings, sensations, or memories. While this may work for you in the short term, the coping with substance use leads to another problem that needs to be solved.
We’ll work with you to stop or slow down your drinking or drug use before it gets out of control.
Our non-judgmental, trauma-informed, harm-reduction approach can help if you or someone you love is coping with substances and you need support.
Family Dysfunction + Toxic Relationships
Family and loved ones are supposed to be a safe place for us to connect, recharge, and have positive memories - but not everyone is lucky enough to have this kind of family.
Whether you grew up in dysfunction, have emotionally immature parents, you’ve been rejected by family because of who you are, or you are realizing in your adulthood that things in your family weren’t so great, we can help you.
Navigating family trauma is a process, but will work to support you and help you determine what will be best for your wellbeing and your relationships for the short and long-term.
Problem Gambling + Compulsive Behavior
It started out as something that you did for fun, you liked the rush, the energy, and the atmosphere. It was harmless fun…
It’s hard to admit that things have gotten out of hand. You might be feeling ashamed or guilty for the money, lies, or other damage that’s being done to your loved ones and your life.
Help is available! This doesn’t have to continue to run your life and you can rebuild back stronger and more confident than before. We’ll explore the behaviors that need to change, and work on getting to the root of the issues that led to things getting out of control.
Grief + Loss
Loss is a part of the human experience, but that doesn’t make experiencing it any easier.
No matter the kind of loss - a loved one, a relationship, a job, even a transition to something better - loss goes hand in hand with grief.
Experiencing loss and the aftermath of the transitions after loss can be complicated and peppered with many conflicting emotions. Being able to experience and process those emotions with a trauma-informed therapist can help.
Crime Victims + VCAP
The experience of being the victim of a crime is painful, frustrating, and can shake the foundation of your beliefs about safety.
Pennsylvania has a fund called Victim Compensation Assistance Program (VCAP) that can help with several needs you may have as the victim of a crime.
One of the benefits you could be entitled to is trauma therapy. VCAP will pay for mental health related expenses for people that are eligible for the program, and Green Circle specializes in trauma counseling.
