Trauma impacts each and every one of us in some shape or form. We founded Trauma Healing Hub to provide a space where people can access the best tools, resources, and guidance for trauma recovery. We're so glad you're here!
Our Story
Courtenay and Rita were both working as trauma therapists trying to achieve the same goal: empower trauma survivors to access their innate capacity to heal and grow. While they were each making gains in their individual work with clients, they were recognizing that one therapy session per week was just not enough to support people healing from complex trauma. Folks were needing in-the-moment resources to help them navigate trauma-related difficulties and crises outside of session. While their clients were able to draw from insight and skills garnered from therapy, they wanted effective and trauma-informed guided practices and information to help them in-the-moment. Seeking to fill this gap, Courtenay and Rita officially joined forces in 2021 and the idea of the Trauma Healing Hub was conceived. Together they assembled a crew of passionate and talented female creatives, like Evann Campbell of Silky Hen Design and Dianne Diwata of Dianne Diwata Designs and they turned their dream into a reality.
