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 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.

Nathan Ely, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, MDiv, LMFT
As an EMDR certified therapist, I help people recover from traumatic experiences. Even though our mind knows the trauma happened in the past, our bodies can relive these experiences in the present. EMDR allows the mind and body to heal and reconnect as you process traumatic experiences and move toward a place of wholeness and restoration.

Trauma and PTSD
Stephanie Brumfield
Therapist, MSW, ASW, PPSC
In navigating the healing journey from trauma and PTSD, my practice honors the profound insight that healing transcends the physical and psychological realms, reaching deep into the spiritual fabric of our being. Guided by Peter Levine's understanding that trauma's impact is less about the events themselves and more about what we hold inside without an empathetic witness, I integrate a spiritual lens that enriches the therapeutic process. This approach is not only about storytelling and witnessing but also involves the sacred work of soul retrieval—reclaiming the pieces of the self that were lost or disassociated in the wake of traumatic experiences.
Specializing in childhood trauma, complex trauma, and PTSD, I offer a compassionate, spiritually informed space where individuals can explore and articulate their deepest wounds and embark on a path of profound transformation. This journey is about giving voice to the inner child's silenced pain and facilitating soul retrieval, which empowers healing at the most integral levels of one's being. By incorporating spiritual practices and perspectives, I help clients connect with their inner wisdom and the universal energies that support their healing process.
For parents navigating the dual challenges of healing their trauma while breaking cycles of pain, my approach provides not just therapeutic support but spiritual guidance, aiding them in reparenting themselves and fostering a healing environment for their families. Echoing Maya Angelou's words on the agony of untold stories, my aim is to ensure these stories are not only heard but deeply seen through a spiritual lens, facilitating a healing process that leads to liberation, soul retrieval, and a reconnection with one's authentic self. This holistic, spiritually enriched approach invites individuals to reclaim their story, their spirit, and their path forward, embodying resilience and renewal.

Philip Starkman
Registered Psychotherapist, MSW, RSW
In my practice, I approach the delicate areas of trauma and PTSD with a deep sense of empathy and understanding, recognizing the profound impact these experiences can have on an individual's life. By employing a holistic and integrative strategy, including Mindfulness, the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Role-Playing, I provide a supportive environment where clients can safely explore and process their experiences. Mindfulness encourages a non-judgmental awareness of the present moment, helping to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories. EFT serves as a tool for managing emotional responses, while IFS offers insights into the multiplicity of the self, fostering internal healing. CBT helps in challenging and changing unhelpful patterns of thought related to trauma, and Role-pPlaying can be particularly effective in rehearsing coping strategies and building confidence in handling triggering situations. My role is to guide and support you through your healing journey, offering compassionate care and tailored therapeutic interventions to help you navigate the complexities of trauma and PTSD, with the goal of fostering resilience, recovery, and a return to a sense of safety and well-being in your life.
