Trauma and PTSD
Adrienne Clements
Counselor/Therapist, MA, LMFT
After surviving a deeply distressing or even life-threatening experience, are you struggling with worry, sadness and fear? Are intrusive flashbacks and disturbing nightmares making it difficult to truly believe that the danger has passed? Although you may go through the motions and get through each day, perhaps you avoid certain places, people or experiences that might trigger overwhelming memories. It may be you are hyper vigilant, always anticipating danger around every corner. As you attempt to protect yourself physically and emotionally, you may feel unable to trust anyone or anything, even yourself. Do you lack a sense of security and stability in every aspect of your world? Do you wish you could find relief from the ongoing worry and dread, engage in the present and claim agency over your life?
No matter how long ago or how recent, a traumatic experience can shake your sense of self and make life seem unpredictable, dangerous and out of control. You may frequently feel helpless, guilty and unable to navigate the world the way you’d like. It may feel as though you are stuck in a loop, falling victim to unbidden and disturbing memories, images, thoughts and physical sensations that force you to relive the past. Although the lingering effects of trauma can make you feel broken, if you are here reading this page, you have already done the hard work of surviving. In truth, you are not broken, and with help and support, you can do more than just survive. I offer a secure, accepting, nonjudgmental space for you to address the aftereffects of trauma, return to your body and claim your life.

Molly Schmidt
Therapist
Trauma and PTSD are responses to distressing or deeply impactful events, often resulting in intrusive memories, avoidance behaviors, mood changes, and heightened arousal. As a therapist, I provide compassionate support and utilize mindfulness techniques and other evidence-based interventions to assist clients in processing their experiences, developing coping strategies, and restoring a sense of safety and control. Through therapy, individuals can embark on a journey of healing, resilience-building, and reclaiming their well-being after experiencing trauma.

Trauma and PTSD treatment are a core part of our practice. With most of our providers having trained in the VA Hospital, we believe trauma work is at the core of mental health treatment. We primarily utilize skills from Cognitive Processing Therapy and Prolonged Exposure to help individuals cope with trauma and it's various components, including the hypervigilance, depression, intrusive thoughts, and avoidance.
