Meet Jada!

Hi, I’m Jada LaBounty, a therapist in Madison who supports individuals living with the impact of trauma and PTSD. I understand how exhausting it can be to carry painful memories, constant anxiety, or the weight of shame and self-blame, and how discouraging it feels when no amount of ‘just moving on’ seems to help. I know what it’s like when trauma takes over your life—shaping your thoughts, relationships, and even how safe you feel in your own body. That’s why I do this work.

I’ve walked this path myself and am passionate about supporting individuals as they rediscover their strength and possibilities. I know how challenging it can be to step away from limiting beliefs and begin trusting yourself. You deserve to move forward feeling safe, strong, and fully aligned with the person you were always meant to be.

You’ll gain tools to:

  • Acknowledging and Understanding Your Experience: Explore what happened and how it has impacted your life.

  • Managing Symptoms and Triggers: Develop skills to stay grounded, regulate emotions, and reduce distress.

  • Processing and Rebuilding: Work through memories and beliefs that keep you stuck.

This isn’t about “getting over it.” It’s about creating lasting changes that help you process trauma, rebuild trust, and reclaim your sense of safety, connection, and self-compassion—one step at a time.

Find the Clarity You’re Looking For

  • You may have experienced trauma if past events continue to affect your thoughts, emotions, or relationships. Common signs include feeling on edge, avoiding reminders, experiencing flashbacks or nightmares, or struggling to feel safe. A thorough assessment in therapy can help clarify your experiences.

  • A trauma-informed approach recognizes how past trauma impacts your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. It prioritizes safety, trust, and empowerment, ensuring therapy is supportive, collaborative, and respects your experiences.

  • No. You control what you share and when. Trauma therapy is about creating safety and processing experiences at a pace that feels manageable for you.

  • Yes. Trauma-focused therapy can teach coping strategies, process underlying experiences, and reduce the intensity and frequency of nightmares, flashbacks, or panic episodes.
