Trauma Therapy & PTSD Treatment in Burnsville, MN

Minnesota is home to the largest Liberian population in the United States, the result of two civil wars between 1989 and 2003 that displaced hundreds of thousands of people and sent tens of thousands of Liberian refugees to resettle across the Twin Cities, including the south metro communities around Burnsville. Many Liberian adults in Burnsville carry PTSD and complex trauma rooted directly in war experience: displacement, violence witnessed or survived, and family separation that in some cases has never fully resolved. This trauma is frequently unaddressed, both because of stigma around mental health treatment and because Minnesota's mental health system has historically had limited capacity for war-related trauma care specific to the Liberian community. Radiant Recovery provides EMDR, CPT, and trauma-informed care for Burnsville adults via telehealth and in-person care throughout Minnesota. Minnesota Medicaid accepted. Same-week appointments.

Who We Help

Liberian adults carrying Civil War-related trauma

For many Liberian residents in Burnsville and the south metro, PTSD traces directly back to the First and Second Liberian Civil Wars: violence witnessed or survived, displacement, and family separation. We provide trauma-informed care that holds this history directly rather than treating it as background.

Refugee and resettled families with complex trauma

Trauma layered across displacement, resettlement stress, and years of uncertain immigration status compounds in ways that single-incident trauma frameworks often miss. We work with the full arc of the experience.

Adult children of Liberian refugees processing intergenerational trauma

Children raised by parents who survived civil war often carry secondary or intergenerational trauma patterns that deserve direct clinical attention in their own right.

Healthcare and caregiving workers with occupational trauma

Burnsville's Liberian community includes many healthcare and home-health workers; the cumulative trauma of caregiving work, layered onto personal history, is a significant and specific presentation.
