Trauma and PTSD therapists in Adams, Massachusetts MA
Ross W. Hackerson
Marriage and Family Therapist, Marriage and Family Therapist MFT
Ah, the big one! EMDR, ART, ImTT are all State of the Art, Gold Standard treatment modalities for trauma. I'm constantly amazed at two things: one, how resilient human beings are in their ability to survive trauma and then with the proper therapy to overcome the effects of that trauma; and two, how prevalent trauma is in our world. From Complex sexual trauma/molestation to missing the side of the trampoline and breaking a bone, to the trauma of being raised in an oppressive home, to loss of job, status or lover, the effects are devastatingly limiting. I'm trained and experienced in EMDR, ART, and ImTT, all great trauma treatment modalities.

Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Working through trauma in therapy requires a specialized and sensitive approach that acknowledges the profound impact of traumatic experiences on an individual's mental and emotional well-being. Clinicians often utilize trauma-focused modalities, such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) or Trauma-focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), to help clients process and reframe traumatic memories. Establishing a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship is foundational, allowing individuals to explore their trauma narratives at their own pace. Therapists may employ grounding techniques, mindfulness, and relaxation exercises to assist clients in managing overwhelming emotions associated with trauma. Psychoeducation about the effects of trauma on the brain and coping strategies is another component of therapy. The goal of trauma work is to empower individuals to integrate and make sense of their experiences, fostering resilience, healing, and a renewed sense of control over their lives.

Marissa Cashman
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
My overall approach to treatment is through a trauma-informed lens as I understand how childhood and adolescent experiences can shape self-image and relationships with the self, others, and the world around them. I'm also in the process of becoming certified in EMDR.

Greta Cowles Consulting
Life Coach, LMFT, SEP, PIT, Trauma Stress Studies
Trauma and PTSD are symptoms experiences due to an event or a series of events. Somatic therapy will guide and support the process of discharging the trauma from the body so that it doesn't affect one's present behavior any longer. It is not a life sentence.
