Navigating Trauma: Essential Mental Health Resources

I cannot advocate enough for therapy—it’s literally changed my life.

I started therapy in my early 20s and have gone on and off throughout life, but the reality is that everyone could—and should—find a consistent therapist. Life is hard, no matter how big or small our struggles are, and we can’t be expected to go it alone.

My stories deal with trauma, depression, abuse, PTSD, and more.

The journey through trauma, mental health struggles, and personal healing can feel isolating, but you don’t have to face it alone.

Whether you seek crisis support, long-term counselling, or someone to talk to, these resources offer guidance, comfort, and professional help.

Please note that this list is not exhaustive. Seeking professional help is essential if you’re in crisis. These resources are meant to guide you but are not a substitute for professional care.

I hope this page connects you to the support you need in Australia, the U.S., or anywhere in the world.
