Trauma and PTSD
Chad Cryder
Psychologist, PhD
As a trauma-informed therapist, I understand that almost everyone has experienced trauma at some point in life. A trauma-informed approach means we help you develop, practice, and foster body-regulating coping skills to help you respond differently to the underlying trauma. Will we address the specifics of your trauma? Maybe, but only when you are ready. I am now offering Virtual Reality therapy to help with trauma and PTSD. Further, I will be using EMDR for in-person sessions.

Trauma can create such shadows over your life. It can cause you to make conclusions about yourself that are just not true. Whether your situation was accidental or intentionally and thoughtlessly inflicted on you abusively; trauma leaves a lasting mark. However with psychotherapy there is potential for a recovery. Techniques can be utilized in psychotherapy such as EMDR which carry hope for resolution! You do not have to be alone with this. Lets work on this together.

Lisa Andresen
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
The links between trauma and achievement spotlight the success stories of people who've endured difficult pasts. Through resilience and resourcefulness, some persevered and found success as an outlet for improving self-esteem. How else could you have filled the void of highly critical, emotionally unavailable parents? The trouble is that success may be tough to integrate and truly celebrate as your own, no matter how impressive your resume gets. Fortunately, recovery from trauma is very possible and with time, can foster post-traumatic growth which leads to a more fulfilling life and meaningful relationships. My clinical approach includes Internal Family Systems which explores how different parts of you protect and serve you. Trauma-Focused CBT also helps unravel core-beliefs that may complicate your relationship with yourself, your ability to trust others, or see the world as a safe place.

Dr. Kelly Smith
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Sometimes life is rough, sometimes you are the one who saw it, experienced it, or went through it. Most of these experiences we can think about, understand, and move on. But sometimes....there is that one ...(or more) which we can't just put down. It creeps into our dreams, it pushes into our heads when we drive by that spot, or look at that person who reminds us... It starts to take over our peace and impact our work, school, or relationships. When you have been through something hard that you cannot just let go and when you go home and others don't get it. It is time to reach out to someone who can help. It is possible to get this experience unstuck from your head, it is possible to turn things around. You can do things that you want to do rather than accepting that you are going to be damaged and struggle with certain things. You can let go of the anger, sleeplessness, and hypervigilance and connect with your family again and be happy. I offer four types of research-based therapies for trauma and PTSD: Prolonged Exposure (PE), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Eye Movement and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Trauma Focused: Cognitive Behavior Therapy (TF: CBT)
