Journey to a Trauma Informed Life

Assisting your journey to heal from the past.

Our Mission

We strive to enter into an inclusive, holistic, healing journey through mental health counseling, consulting, training and speaking engagements.

Our Vision

We envision a community of trauma-informed, empowered, and engaged journeyers.

Your Trauma Informed Care Journey Starts Here

Journey to a Trauma Informed Life, LLC began in July 2019 by 3 founding clinicians who noticed a need for trauma informed care in Erie PA. Since then we have grown to over 11 mental health clinicians, 2 mental health support staff, 3 interns plus a referral specialist and quality improvement specialist. We understand the mental health concerns of Black, Brown and People of Color. And we at Journey celebrate the diversity of the LGBTQ+ community. Our staff support those who are exploring their gender identity and sexual orientation. Here Refugees and Immigrants can find safety and trauma-focused treatments for their long journey. Because we embrace those on the road to recovery we help you reduce the harm of substance addiction. Our staff know the pain of loss and trauma, and can guide you through to a new place of hope. Because we see you as unique, we travel along with those who are neuro-divergent and differently abled at your pace.

 

Diverse Mental Health Staff and Trauma Informed Care Treatments

Journey to a Trauma Informed Life is a diverse family of trained professionals, each bringing their own experiences to create a culturally competent environment. For instance, here you can connect with a Black therapist, an LGBTQ+ therapist, and a therapist aligned with your lived experience. In addition, you can work with a guide who is trained in EMDR, CPT, TF-CBT, IFS , Mindfulness, Reiki or other evidence-based practices. Above all, we want you to know we are here to help you heal from PTSD, depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties and other symptoms of traumatic stress.

 

Convenient Downtown Location + Telehealth Therapy

We have a convenient downtown location at 201 West 11th Street. Or, your clinician can also meet with you through a secure, HIPAA compliant telehealth platform.
