Trauma and PTSD
Mr. Dan Pugel
Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and other types of trauma occur circumstantially and can often be debilitating and often seem insurmountable. A person suffering with PTSD has experienced or has been a witness to a traumatic event where a threat of death or serious injury occurs to self or others. During the experience or observing of such trauma the individual senses "intense fear, helplessness or horror".
PTSD symptoms may include voluntary and involuntary recurrent thoughts and dreams about the event, intense associations with the event - both externally and internally, intentional avoidance of associations with event, isolation, loss of interest in activities, anger, loss of concentration sleep disruptions among others. (DSM-V)
Other trauma occurs that may not be as pervasive as PTSD yet still interfers with the healthy social, occupational and general functioning of daily life. Both are experiences that can be processed through with outcomes of growth and healing

Trauma and PTSD
Jonathan Schmalz
Psychologist, PhD, HSP-P
A trauma-informed approach underlies all of my work as a therapist. I know that many clients come to therapy not specifically because of trauma, but because they feel lonely or inadequate, they are depressed or anxious, or just cannot seem to have the intimacy they crave. Sometimes acknowledging trauma comes later in the therapy work and that is okay. Just know that I trust that you will talk about it when you are ready.
I would like to join you in acknowledging how the past has affected your present and in charting a course to healing that works for you. You may wish to talk about particular pains from the past and you may wish to focus on the future. We will work together to find the balance that is right for you, so that you can live the life that you really want to live.

I specialize in the assessment and treatment of PTSD and cPTSD. As mentioned elsewhere here, I utilize a multifaceted approach that is customized to the needs of each individual person I work with. When suitable, and with sufficient preparation, I emphasize EMDR as my treatment approach of choice.

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.
