WHERE CLINICAL THERAPY MEETS SPIRITUAL CARE
Flamingo Trauma Recovery signature mental health programs are designed for individuals who seek mental health care that is aligned and relevant.
One of our programs may be for you:
You've experienced religious harm.
Another word for that is "traumatization". It wasn't just a bad experience. It changed you significantly and created questions that need answers. That's why we offer abide by trauma-informed spiritual care. Everything is optional. We don't determine your pace, you do.
You've tried therapy before (and maybe it helped) but you needed something different.
This is where clinical care and Christ-centered truth meet. We hold both by partnering with clinicians who understand our mission and work to help people get out of therapy, not stay in.
You've survived so much already.. not sure if you need it.
Surviving and thriving are two completely different experiences. You are worthy of what it means to thrive. Let's move toward a new concept of restoration
You're already overwhelmed by just the thought of therapy, alone.
This space is here to make room for peace—not pile on pressure.

Assess prospective clinicians for alignment
-
Honor your budget
