Trauma and PTSD
Lisa C. Holder
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, LPC
The affects of trauma can be debilitating and long lasting. Sometimes it is invisible to others as it is buried deep in the body and nervous system causing problems in relationships, health, and self esteem. Trauma and PTSD can be triggered out of seemingly nowhere and when we least expect it, or it can be an ongoing daily interference to a happy life. I have over 25 years of experience treating trauma in its various forms such as abuse, war, and accidents to name just a few. I use an eclectic approach including EMDR and Somatic therapies. If you are struggling with any type of traumatic experience I’d love to help you!

Dr. David Liebert
Counselor/Therapist
Trauma can have a significant affect on both the body and the mind. Symptoms during the trauma are responses by the part of the brain focused on survival, while after experiencing trauma the symptoms may vary greatly. I use evidence-based behavioral health strategies to treat trauma (e.g., Posttraumatic Stress Disorder) such as cognitive behavioral therapy and exposure therapies.

Katherine Best

Trauma is pervasive and at an epidemic proportion in our world. Being present for the exposures we have had and then shifting into a post trauma growth process is possible.

Amy K. Cummings-Aponte, LMHC
Licensed Professional Counselor, Florida LMHC MH20515, Maine LPC CC6872
Trauma can develop from a one-time incident or a lifetime of ongoing experiences (throughout childhood). Those who have been exposed to a traumatic event or series of events may experience intrusive thoughts/memories, nightmares or disturbing dreams, becoming irritable or angry when startled or challenged, shutting down, memory issues or they may find themselves avoiding reminders of the event. Survivors of such trauma may describe it as feeling unmotivated or an inability to feel pleasure in anything, even those things they previously enjoyed. Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy is designed to help those individuals move from that triggered state into a state of peace, and it gives their brain the opportunity to process the experience in a productive manner.
