Trauma and PTSD therapists in Blacksburg, Virginia VA
Heather Clifft
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Trauma is an emotional response to a deeply distressing or disturbing event that overwhelms one's ability to cope, causes feeling of helplessness, and diminishes one's sens of self and the ability to feel a full range of emotions and experiences. The effects of trauma are deeply personal and overwhelming. As a therapist, it is a privilege to hold space for your story and pain. I am certified in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy and will partner with you to carve a path to recovery that is focused on your individual and unique needs.

Jennifer Plumb Vilardaga, PhD
Psychologist, PhD
Humans have a great capacity to survive some of the most horrendous and painful things possible; yet they do take their toll even months or years down the line. Carrying the burden of trauma and PTSD can be heavy, and one that you do not have to do alone. I bring specialized skills and training to help you carry that burden, and begin to learn skills that can serve you now (but probably were not available to you in the past) to help you live more freely. I work from a trauma-informed place with anyone seeking care for these issues. I also bring my expertise having spent years working with military veterans and many others using powerful tools such as Prolonged Exposure therapy to help you live with intention, purpose, and dignity.

Allen Wood
Psychologist, Psy.D.
As a psychologist specializing in the full range of trauma, I integrate Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) with Internal Family Systems (IFS) to reinforce a sense of safety, control, and worthiness. I draw upon the principles of Interpersonal Neurobiology to understand how our nervous system is forced to adapt in extreme and overwhelming situations, and how those adaptations can be reinforced or blocked by our relationships, internal conflicts, and past experiences. In our work together, you can expect a high level of collaboration, deeply compassionate understanding, and an abundance of metaphors as we tailor the therapy process to your needs, strengths, and situation.
