Trauma and PTSD
Timothy Long
Registered Psychotherapist
I myself grew up in a toxic, dysfunctional, abusive family. It caused me to suffer many years from severe complex PTSD, anxiety, depression, social anxiety with severe blushing, and much more. Trauma and PTSD can be caused by many experiences in childhood or in our adult years. Just talk therapy will not resolve it. After trying many therapies myself, and training in different forms of therapy, I know what really works. I want to help you resolve your trauma and/or PTSD. It is not as difficult as many people think. I offer a 30 minute complimentary session for you to find how we can work together to heal and create the life you want. You can easily schedule on my website or email me.

Philip Starkman
Registered Psychotherapist, MSW, RSW
In my practice, I approach the delicate areas of trauma and PTSD with a deep sense of empathy and understanding, recognizing the profound impact these experiences can have on an individual's life. By employing a holistic and integrative strategy, including Mindfulness, the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Role-Playing, I provide a supportive environment where clients can safely explore and process their experiences. Mindfulness encourages a non-judgmental awareness of the present moment, helping to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories. EFT serves as a tool for managing emotional responses, while IFS offers insights into the multiplicity of the self, fostering internal healing. CBT helps in challenging and changing unhelpful patterns of thought related to trauma, and Role-pPlaying can be particularly effective in rehearsing coping strategies and building confidence in handling triggering situations. My role is to guide and support you through your healing journey, offering compassionate care and tailored therapeutic interventions to help you navigate the complexities of trauma and PTSD, with the goal of fostering resilience, recovery, and a return to a sense of safety and well-being in your life.

Stephanie Brumfield
Therapist, MSW, ASW, PPSC
In navigating the healing journey from trauma and PTSD, my practice honors the profound insight that healing transcends the physical and psychological realms, reaching deep into the spiritual fabric of our being. Guided by Peter Levine's understanding that trauma's impact is less about the events themselves and more about what we hold inside without an empathetic witness, I integrate a spiritual lens that enriches the therapeutic process. This approach is not only about storytelling and witnessing but also involves the sacred work of soul retrieval—reclaiming the pieces of the self that were lost or disassociated in the wake of traumatic experiences.
Specializing in childhood trauma, complex trauma, and PTSD, I offer a compassionate, spiritually informed space where individuals can explore and articulate their deepest wounds and embark on a path of profound transformation. This journey is about giving voice to the inner child's silenced pain and facilitating soul retrieval, which empowers healing at the most integral levels of one's being. By incorporating spiritual practices and perspectives, I help clients connect with their inner wisdom and the universal energies that support their healing process.
For parents navigating the dual challenges of healing their trauma while breaking cycles of pain, my approach provides not just therapeutic support but spiritual guidance, aiding them in reparenting themselves and fostering a healing environment for their families. Echoing Maya Angelou's words on the agony of untold stories, my aim is to ensure these stories are not only heard but deeply seen through a spiritual lens, facilitating a healing process that leads to liberation, soul retrieval, and a reconnection with one's authentic self. This holistic, spiritually enriched approach invites individuals to reclaim their story, their spirit, and their path forward, embodying resilience and renewal.

Trauma is an experience that can impact nearly every aspect of someone's life, from relationships/trust, to work, to self-esteem, to mood and the list goes on. Finding someone who specializes in trauma/PTSD is essential to truly getting the help you need. I offer the gold standard treatments for PTSD (e.g. Cognitive Processing Therapy and Prolonged Exposure), as well as treatments like EMDR and STAIR. Building a strong relationship is the first step to help you on your journey to re-engaging in the life you want to lead. I will then help you process your trauma, understand triggers, and develop new coping strategies for managing.

Melissa Klass M.A., LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT #119163
Something bad happens, nothing good follows, and everyone pretends it's okay. This simple series of events can lead to lasting emotional and physical symptoms. Sometimes the symptoms make us feel crazy. Let me assure you, you are not crazy and you are not alone. I am trained in a trauma treatment technique called eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), that can allow for integration of traumatic memories into one's healthy and coherent narrative. I would be honored to provide you a safe space to work through the painful experiences that just won't seem to go away.
