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.

Strides in Psychotherapy
Psychologist, PSY.D.
An event, that can cause you to fear for your safety or your very life can happen to anyone.
When such an event occurs, we are often so stunned by it, that we think “This isn’t supposed to happen to me or to someone I love. This only happens to other people.”
There are a variety of ways to experience such a trauma: a car accident, sexual assault, robbery, witnessing an illness or death, domestic violence, being a soldier, being left abruptly by your spouse or parents, and experiencing severe weather catastrophes.
Often when this happens, our bodies and minds do predictable things to protect ourselves. These symptoms might seem strange if you have never experienced them before.

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.
