Trauma can impact every part of our lives—from how we see the world to how we relate to ourselves and others. Whether caused by childhood experiences, accidents, abuse, or other distressing events, trauma often leaves emotional imprints that can feel difficult to overcome.
At Healing Horizons Therapy, Meredith Parent, LMFT, offers a compassionate and evidence-based approach to treating trauma and PTSD. Her work is grounded in the belief that healing is possible—even from experiences that feel overwhelming or long-buried.
Trauma therapy isn’t about re-living the pain. It’s about gently working through the experiences that keep you feeling stuck, disconnected, or on edge. Meredith uses modalities like EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and IFS (Internal Family Systems) to help clients:
Process painful memories in a safe, supported way
Reduce emotional reactivity and hypervigilance
Reconnect with their sense of self and safety
Build new, empowered narratives
Intrusive memories or flashbacks
Difficulty sleeping or chronic fatigue
Trouble trusting others or forming relationships
Feeling numb, detached, or easily triggered
Therapy creates a space to feel seen, heard, and gently guided toward healing. Meredith works at a pace that respects your boundaries while helping you reclaim your life after trauma.

In today’s fast-moving world, stress and anxiety are more than common—they’re often overwhelming. But anxiety doesn’t have to control your thoughts, relationships, or daily life. Through therapy, you can build tools to manage anxious patterns and restore a sense of calm and confidence.
Meredith Parent, LMFT, specializes in helping individuals navigate generalized anxiety, panic attacks, and chronic stress, tailoring support to each person’s unique experience.
Meredith helps clients identify what fuels their anxiety, whether it’s unprocessed emotions, unresolved trauma, or critical inner narratives. Therapy focuses on:
Recognizing patterns and identifying triggers
Learning grounding tools and relaxation strategies
Reframing thoughts that drive anxiety
Cultivating emotional resilience and self-trust
Constant worry or overthinking
Panic attacks or racing heart
Irritability, restlessness, or trouble sleeping
Avoidance of certain situations or places
Anxiety can make you feel like you’re constantly on high alert. But with support, you can learn to regulate your nervous system, respond with intention, and feel more grounded in daily life.
