About me
SFTi is all about helping others find their potential. Uncertainty might not have ever felt so strong but these last few years has created so much self doubt, instability, mistrust, and chaos. Sadly, for many this is what their whole life has felt like. When dealing with trauma, addiction, Identity, or abuse this is your life. Who can I trust? Where will I go? What can I do? SFTi staffs experienced trauma informed therapists specializing in EMDR, Addiction, LGBTQIA, Body Positive, Domestic Violence, and PTSD.
Through the specialized treatment of our experienced therapists, our clients find reprieve from their past and empowerment to find their paths back to life. Allowing them space to learn to trust again, love again, and believe again.
With our pasts weighing us down and our future no where in site, life may feel impossible. Your relationships may suffer, your families, don't know how to help, and you're left, alone, confused, and ready to give up. DON"T! Let SFTi show you how to regain control and let SFTi support your journey.
