Trauma & Grief Therapy in Arizona for Native American and Indigenous Individuals
I help Native American and Indigenous individuals heal from trauma and integrate grief;
rebuilding trust and opening to peace, perhaps even joy, for the first time.
Yá’át’ééh (Hello). I’m Florina Clashin (she/her), a Native American therapist in Arizona and the founder of Trailhead Counseling, PLLC.
I specialize in grief and trauma therapy, supporting adults navigating identity, generational wounds, and the deep ache of not being fully seen in traditional therapy spaces.
I create therapy spaces that are culturally grounded and relational where you can feel safe, seen, and not pathologized. Where you can move from surviving to truly living, even in the wake of trauma or loss.
Here, we slow down, get curious, and make space for the parts of you that are ready to be heard, not fixed, but understood.
Therapy for Indigenous People Reconnecting with Themselves
Strong on the outside; Tender and tired on the inside.
You carry so much, expectations, responsibilities, the weight of what’s been passed down.
On paper, you're holding it all together. But inside?
You smile at work, then cry in your car on the way home.
You show up for everyone else, even when your own cup is empty.
You feel disconnected from your culture, your people, or your sense of self.
You’ve survived violence, betrayal, or loss and sometimes wonder if you’re too broken to heal.
You want to rest, to feel joy, to trust but you stay on high alert.
You wonder if it's too late to undo what’s been done, too late to become someone whole.
You’ve been made to feel like a victim, but deep down, you know you're more than what happened to you.
And here’s what some parts of you whisper when the world gets quiet:
“I can’t keep holding everything. No one sees me. I feel invisible even to myself.”
You’ve been led by the parts that protect, perform, and please for so long;
the ones who get things done, who keep you moving, who make sure no one sees the pain.
But there’s another part, quiet, buried, tender, wondering:
When is it my turn to be cared for?
And this is where our work begins…
In a space where you can finally rest
where your story is honored, your pain makes sense,
and healing doesn’t mean erasing the past; it means reclaiming yourself.
Through our work together, you may begin to:
Feel more at peace in your body and in your relationships
Reconnect with your culture, identity, and sense of belonging
Release burdens that were never yours to carry
Trust yourself and others in new ways
Experience moments of calm, joy, and self-compassion again
Our sessions weave together Internal Family Systems (IFS), Somatic IFS, EMDR, Sandtray Therapy, and nature-based approaches creating a space where healing can unfold through story, image, movement, and the wisdom of the body and the land.
Each session moves at the pace of your system guided by curiosity, compassion, and respect for where you are on your path.
