Trauma and PTSD
Gregory Smith
Counselor/Therapist, ALC (Associate Licensed Counselor), BCPC
Since trauma is at the root of PTSD and dissociation, I understand the effects that trauma has upon an individual. In the 1990's, I worked as a North Carolina Paramedic and experienced the effects that trauma can have upon an individual. Whether it is childhood traumas, military experience traumas, or any other unexpected experiences that the flight and fight response system was not an option, and therefore, the freeze response resulted in the trauma; healing requires various approaches. Being a pastor living overseas for 19 years ministering to American military stationed outside of the USA has given me many opportunities to minister to those affected by trauma. Often those who experienced traumatic experiences on more than one occasion develop complex PTSD with dissociation. My experience working with dissociative individuals is very beneficial when understanding and helping those with PTSD and sometime complex PTSD.

Dr. Desiree S. Howell
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Using EMDR, IFS-informed, and somatic (body-based) strategies, we will collaboratively explore what you need and want to feel safe to continue on your healing journey. Your body is wise and many habits were likely effective coping strategies in the past but are now no longer serving you. We will work together to help your body recalibrate its sense of safety and enjoy a regulated nervous system.

Alice Bernstein
Psychologist, PhD.
Except for individuals who have a physical basis for their problems, trauma is always part of the history of an individual's symptoms. Trauma can be a stand-alone experience or a repetitive experience in an individual's life. After taking a thorough history, we will decide on a path to take - either CBT or psychodynamic.
