Trauma-Informed Care

A safe, compassionate space where your history is honored and your healing is led entirely by you. Our whole team is trained in trauma-informed pelvic physical therapy.

Get Started

You Are in Control Here

Healing Is Possible. And It Happens on Your Terms.

Trauma — whether from sexual abuse, assault, medical procedures, birth experiences, accidents, or chronic stress — can profoundly affect the pelvic floor and the body's ability to feel safe. At Connect Pelvic Health, every member of our team is trained to provide care that prioritizes your sense of safety, choice, and control at every step.

You never have to share more than you're comfortable with. You can stop any assessment or treatment at any time, for any reason. Your pace is the only pace that matters here.

Our Promise to You

What Trauma-Informed Care Looks Like Here

Consent at Every Step

Every assessment and treatment is fully explained before it happens. We ask permission before we touch — every time, without exception.

You Control the Pace

There is no timeline, no pressure to "get through" a session. If you need to slow down, pause, or stop entirely, we follow your lead.

No Judgment, Ever

Your history is your own. You share as much or as little as you choose. We will never push for details you haven't offered.

Private, One-on-One Sessions

Every appointment is with your therapist alone, in a private room. No shared treatment spaces, no rotating staff.

Whole-Person Perspective

We understand that pelvic symptoms don't exist in isolation from your emotional and psychological experience. We treat the whole person.

Collaboration With Your Care Team

We're happy to coordinate with your therapist, counselor, or other providers to ensure your care is integrated and consistent.

FAQs

Common Questions

Do I have to disclose my trauma history to be treated?

No. You share only what you're comfortable sharing. Knowing your history can help us tailor your care, but it's never required. We work with what you give us.

Is internal assessment required?

No. Internal assessment is always optional and will never be performed without your explicit consent. Many patients begin with entirely external treatment and progress at their own pace.

What if I have a trauma response during a session?

We are trained to recognize and respond to trauma responses with calm, care, and no pressure. You can stop at any time. We follow your lead, always.

Can you work alongside my therapist or counselor?

Yes, and we encourage it. Integrated care — physical and psychological — tends to produce the best outcomes for trauma survivors. We're happy to coordinate with your mental health provider.

Do I need a referral?

No referral is required. You can contact us directly and take as much time as you need before scheduling.

Dr. Brandie has changed my life. I was hesitant to see her at first for dry needling/work on my spine and scar tissue that I had from a traumatic car accident (that left me in a coma.) After three sessions I can now take a full belly breath, have feeling in my lower abdomen, and she helped me face my fear of needles. She’s professional, knowledgeable, and kind. You can tell she not only loves what she does, but she cares deeply about each of her patients. (Plus, the Ghirardelli chocolate in the waiting room are a nice touch 👌🏼)
