Trauma and PTSD
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.

Kreins Psychological Services
Psychologist, PhD, PsyD
As a psychologist specializing in trauma and PTSD, my treatment approach is rooted in compassion, safety, and evidence-based interventions. Through therapies such as cognitive processing therapy (CPT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), and trauma-focused cognitive-behavioral therapy (TF-CBT), I collaborate with individuals to process traumatic memories, challenge negative beliefs, and develop effective coping strategies. Creating a safe therapeutic environment is paramount, allowing clients to explore their experiences at their own pace while feeling supported and validated. Psychoeducation about trauma responses and self-regulation techniques empowers individuals to manage symptoms and regain a sense of control over their lives. Additionally, I integrate mindfulness practices, relaxation techniques, and grounding exercises to promote emotional regulation and resilience. My goal is to facilitate healing, restore a sense of safety, and empower individuals to thrive beyond their traumatic experiences.

Lea Purczinsky
Pre-Licensed Professional, Licensed Professional Counselor Associate
It may sound weird to say, but trauma is my heart. If you've been hurt in this life and are seeking healing, it would be my honor to navigate that alongside you. I use several trauma informed modalities that keep in mind how trauma affects the brain and body as we collaboratively unpack your life expereinces and work to take away the sting they can still hold many years later, including PTSD symptoms.
