Ashley Ray
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-S, CCTP, TIYT
It's not your fault! That overwhelming feeling that you just want to crawl out of your skin... The challenges you experience communicating and socializing with others... Your thoughts racing and feeling stuck in the past... Feeling emotionally overwhelmed by the smallest of things... Not being able to sleep at night. None of it's your fault.
I specialize in helping men and women heal from their traumatic past... and guess what! I'm not going to make you talk about it... definitely not at first... and maybe never. The first thing we are going to do is get clear on your symptoms and triggers and work together to help you rewire your trauma-response so that you can feel at peace, calm and happy again. First, I help you to understand what's happening with your nervous system, and then we utilize holistic evidence-based somatic and CBT techniques to bring your body, mind and emotions back into balance. Then, once you feel strong, steady and an ability to achieve calm whenever you like, and if you like, we can revisit the past. Don't worry, the past is not where we start. We start in the present. We help you feel safe so that you are no longer afraid of falling apart.
Give me a call. I offer a free 20 minute phone consultation!

Mike Jeffcoat
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I can guide the client to better understanding of their PETS: physical response, emotional response, and thoughts by exploring the triggers and learning to manage our responses to perceived threat. Once healing has started, we can explore spirituality and how it can be a tool for recovery into true inner peace and self-empowerment. To that purpose, I use positive psychology, integrative holistic theories and practices, meditation, and breathwork so that my clients can experience a fulfilling life and become the authentic person they've wanted to be.

Emily Sledge
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LMSW
My clients will learn to become aware of their physical, emotional, and thought behaviors in order to manage their responses
to triggers from past trauma and perceived threat. Once the healing has begun, we can explore spirituality and how it can be incorporated in order for the client to experience a fulfilling life wholeheartedly. To that purpose, I use Eastern and Western practices to assist in the healing process including CBT, DBT, and ACT as well as meditation, breathwork, and yoga.

Janette Cross
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, EMDR
Trauma does NOT need to be a lifelong burden. There is so much that we now know about the body and brain connection in healing trauma. With compassion and a plan, I help you get unstuck, get past triggers, and handle future stressors. I have extensive training in understanding and healing trauma whether it is recent or from long ago.

Elizabeth Starnes
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC-S, ATR, REAT
Trauma impacts every area of our lives - how we see ourselves, others and the world. It can destroy our sense of safety, trust, esteem, intimacy, and power/control. We create stories that are untrue and cause ourselves pain. I enjoy adding Expressive Arts Therapy to Cognitive Processing Therapy. Expressive arts can be a way to express oneself non-verbally which has helped many clients access their connection to their body and emotions. Trauma creates a disconnect from the mind and body. Almost as if we become a floating head. I have witnessed several clients reconnect to their feelings and body through keeping an art journal and sharing in session. In addition, overtime they were able to access their own insight and inner wisdom. Working on trauma is scary for many people. There is no pressure to follow a prescribed course or use art. I understand how difficult it is to share the story and trust a new therapist. I work at a client's comfort level and pace.

I am trained in EMDR, an evidence-based treatment for trauma. My purpose is to help others transform their lives by discovering different perspectives on old hurts, to develop new ways to face and cope with existing challenges, and to assist in navigating your way towards a brighter future. I am best suited to address areas of childhood trauma, depression, anxiety and how it affects your relationship with self and others.
