Dr. Lois Nightingale
Psychologist, MA, Ph.D.
I have been working with PTSD clients for over 30 years. I was trained in EMDR by Dr. Shapiro and have been re-certified over the years. Nightmares, flashbacks, poor concentration, anxiety and avoidant behaviors may all be a part of PTSD. I also offer Ketamine Assisted Therapy in partnership with Journey Clinical, for eligible clients suffering from PTSD.

Trauma can feel like such a “taboo” word that carries emotions like shame, guilt, and confusion. Whatever your experiences may have been, they are true for you. I can help support you in navigating the challenges that trauma can bring through somatic processing and learning skills to help build resilience and develop healing from the pain of trauma.

Marley Cote
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, MS
Shame. Pain. Betrayal. Terror. Panic. Disgust. Rage. These are the common emotions that haunt or plague many survivors of (complex) trauma. Trauma can leave survivors feeling fragmented, dehumanized, and paralyzed. These emotions are often only one part of struggling to survive, with flashbacks and trauma responses often frustrating or flooding survivors. Many survivors often wonder if they will ever feel "normal" again after what has happened, if it is even possible to find safety again within and outside of themselves. In my work with survivors, my clients discover what it means to be grounded again within their bodies, to reclaim safety within their bodies, and to release trauma that has limited them for so long.

Dr. Lynne Logan
Marriage and Family Therapist, Ph.D., Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
Trauma and PTSD can be discovered on several levels. For example -- a one time car crash. A victim or a crime. Abuse of any kind. Chronic child abuse. Relational abuse. Being bullied or humiliated. Past traumas that are not resolved are held in a special organ in the brain called the 'amygdala.' The traumatic memory can be 'triggered' off and on for years -- which can and will ultimately interfere in many aspects of ones life. The great news is that unprocessed traumas and PTSD can be effectively treated. You can be free of disturbing memories and emotional recalls that cause anxiety, flashbacks, nightmares, etc. Help is available.

Adrienne Clements
Counselor/Therapist, MA, LMFT
After surviving a deeply distressing or even life-threatening experience, are you struggling with worry, sadness and fear? Are intrusive flashbacks and disturbing nightmares making it difficult to truly believe that the danger has passed? Although you may go through the motions and get through each day, perhaps you avoid certain places, people or experiences that might trigger overwhelming memories. It may be you are hyper vigilant, always anticipating danger around every corner. As you attempt to protect yourself physically and emotionally, you may feel unable to trust anyone or anything, even yourself. Do you lack a sense of security and stability in every aspect of your world? Do you wish you could find relief from the ongoing worry and dread, engage in the present and claim agency over your life?
No matter how long ago or how recent, a traumatic experience can shake your sense of self and make life seem unpredictable, dangerous and out of control. You may frequently feel helpless, guilty and unable to navigate the world the way you’d like. It may feel as though you are stuck in a loop, falling victim to unbidden and disturbing memories, images, thoughts and physical sensations that force you to relive the past. Although the lingering effects of trauma can make you feel broken, if you are here reading this page, you have already done the hard work of surviving. In truth, you are not broken, and with help and support, you can do more than just survive. I offer a secure, accepting, nonjudgmental space for you to address the aftereffects of trauma, return to your body and claim your life.
