Trauma-informed and strength-based care offered online
Dr. Plaise uses trauma-informed approaches that recognize how past trauma can shape current thoughts, emotions, and relationships. This perspective helps clients develop safety, regain a sense of control, and work through traumatic memories at a pace that feels manageable. She also applies strength-based techniques that focus on clients’ existing resources and abilities, helping them build confidence and practical coping skills for daily challenges. In addition, race-based awareness is woven into her work to acknowledge and address how racial and cultural experiences can affect mental health and help shape treatment goals.
