Trauma and PTSD therapists in Swampscott, Massachusetts MA
Elizabeth Tener
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
PTSD, trauma, and dissociative defenses are the result of abuse or shocking events. Vulnerable parts of us still carry that terror despite the fact that the abusive situations may be far in the past. Using IFS I can access those hurting parts with minimum pain and bring them compassion, curiosity, appreciation and eventually the freedom of transformation.

In trauma therapy sessions, I offer a collaborative and narrative approach designed to help you heal from past traumatic experiences. With specialized training in trauma-focused therapies, I provide a safe and supportive space to explore the narratives surrounding your trauma, understanding how they impact your thoughts, feelings, and relationships. Through compassionate dialogue and evidence-based interventions, we work together to process your experiences, build coping skills, and cultivate resilience. Whether you're recovering from childhood trauma, interpersonal violence, or a traumatic event, my goal is to empower you to reclaim your sense of safety and agency. Through this collaborative journey of self-discovery and healing, you'll find support, validation, and hope as you move towards healing and reclaiming your life.

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.

Kelly Kirby
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
If you have experienced trauma in your life, you know how incredibly debilitating and fragmented life can become. It is often misunderstood in how these experiences bleed into every part of one’s life. I support my clients in the emotional release and healing to break free from the limitations currently holding them back, consciously and subconsciously. Understanding the mind, body energy connection and how the body and emotions intersect is a tool that is essential to learn in creating awareness and evolution in one’s growth and healing.

Vida Mendez
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LICSW, EMDR II
It’s like a video stuck on a loop that keeps playing over, and over, and over… You can’t get the images out of your head. Looking over your shoulder, being easily frightened; it wasn’t you before, but it is now. Things look bleaker than they did before it happened. Remembering or not remembering, you’re unsure of which is worse. Is this your new normal? To others, you look like you’re keeping it together. It couldn’t be farther from the truth. You’re hiding behind a thin veil of normalcy and you're worried about what would happen if the curtain were pulled back. It’s barely masking the complex emotions that you fear will come flooding out of you.
So is there any good news? Yes! With the right therapy, trauma-related struggles are some of the most treatable mental health conditions. I am trained in an approach called EMDR which helps you recall disturbing experiences and reprocess them. This causes your memories to feel more neutral or even peaceful when recalled- bringing harmony back to your life.
It’s time to deal with the past and that’s why you’re still reading. Give me a call today to schedule a free 20-minute phone call. It's not too late to get back to who you are and what you want your life to be.
