Trauma and Healing in Relationships
Louisa Winthrop, LCSW, YWCA Greenwich Board Member
Relationships have a tremendous impact on our mind, body, and spirit. While toxic relationships can destabilize us, healthy relationships can be restorative. Join us for a discussion on the power of connection and learn techniques for self-soothing and emotional regulation.
Louisa Winthrop is an experienced psychotherapist who has been helping individuals heal and move forward from a variety of life challenges for more than 25 years. She earned her BA in Psychology from Duke University and her MSW from Boston University.
Having worked with survivors of domestic violence for many years, including at the YW Greenwich, where she now serves on the Board of Directors, Louisa has a great deal of experience in helping people heal from trauma and PTSD. She is certified in Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy and has found this to be a particularly successful method for alleviating the pain caused by current and past wounds.
Harmony Project of YWCA Greenwich
YWCA Greenwich has been providing critical domestic abuse services in Greenwich for over 40 years. Over the last decade, we have launched a more comprehensive response to violence and abuse in our community to include public awareness, professional training, violence prevention programs, and sustainability services such as housing, civil legal guidance, and financial empowerment.
As the needs of our community grow over time, YWCA Greenwich continues to evolve to meet those needs to the best of our ability. We are proud to announce that we are now offering services and support to victims and survivors of sexual violence in addition to the work we’ve been doing to address interpersonal violence in Greenwich.
