Trauma and PTSD
Ashley Evans
Counselor/Therapist, Licensed Professional Counselor, Certified Personal Coach
I work with clients recovering from trauma, whether it is something recent or from long ago. Trauma can leave a long lasting stain on our thoughts and behaviors which shapes our unconscious behaviors. This can have a disturbing impact on our current day relationships as we react when we are unknowingly triggered. Your time with me is your safe, confidential space to release the stranglehold past hurts have had on your life.

Trauma and PTSD
Leslie Ginger
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
So many of us don't even realize that we have been through trauma or don't want to call it that. Truth is everyone has been through some sort of trauma. Some of those traumas are what we refer to as little T's, which may not resonate with most as traumas yet they have a significant impact on our lives and have the potential for attaching to a negative belief. Others of us have experienced what we refer to as big T's, which are the ones that most people think of when they think of trauma.
Regardless of whether it is a big T or little T, together we can navigate the healing process that needs to occur in order to process those memories so that they no longer have the power that they have now. When we bring things into the light, it no longer has the power in the darkness.
I know that it won't be easy and that there is a part of you that does not even want to face it. You will not be alone and you do have the power inside to overcome these negative beliefs.
My hope is to provide a space where you feel safe to begin or continue your journey toward healing and restoration.

Cara Waters
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LCDC-I
I am trained in EMDR, an evidence-based treatment for trauma. My purpose is to help others transform their lives by discovering different perspectives on old hurts, to develop new ways to face and cope with existing challenges, and to assist in navigating your way towards a brighter future. I am best suited to address areas of childhood trauma, depression, anxiety and how it affects your relationship with self and others.

Ryan Holliman
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, LPC-S
You don’t talk much about that day, but it still upsets you. That traumatic experience has infected all the other parts of your life. You find yourself avoiding situations and people that remind you of it. It’s getting to the point that your spending most of your life avoiding things. And that memory hurts. Sometimes you feel like your broken, and wonder if your life will ever feel “normal” again. You’ve tried to talk to family, but they can’t do much more than lend a sympathetic ear. And you’ve been to therapy, but you just talked about the trauma over and over, and that didn’t really seem to help anything. So is this it?
When I work with clients struggling with trauma I use an intervention called Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). While I could tell you all the neuroscience, what really happens in EMDR is we drain all of the emotions from your traumatic memory and install a positive belief about yourself.
Through EMDR we help you finally recover from the past. You can discard the negative beliefs about yourself that traumatic experience made you believe, and you can recapture a healthy and positive life. You need a trusted guide to help you through your trauma, and I can help. Call today to schedule a free initial 15 minute consultation.

Kailynn Klepfer
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-S, CCTP
I obtained my certification in treating trauma last year. I focus on how the traumatic experience (or experiences) are affecting you now and decreasing those symptoms. I was trained to not retraumatize clients so I do not not need detail of events in order to effectively treat your current symptoms. I help my clients reach their goals in treating symptoms of traumatic experiences through a variety of approaches, including CBT, psychoeducation around nervous system, inner child work, sensorimotor techniques, narrative therapy, and creative arts. Many of my current clients are struggling with Complex-PTSD and insecure attachment styles.
