Trauma and PTSD
Abby Cobey
Psychologist, PsyD
Treatment for trauma and PTSD is really hard. It doesn't feel good to remember the things we most want to forget and unfortunately there is no easy way to heal. You've likely already discovered that avoidance won't work. What we will work on together is feeling the feelings in session so that they are less likely to creep up on you when you don't expect or want them. We'll look at your thinking surrounding the event and how your thinking has changed over time. It will get better.

Trauma and PTSD
Melanie Lewis
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
I work with folks who feel overwhelmed by their past experiences even if the experiences are, well... in the past. But trauma doesn't seem to respect space and time. Traumatic experiences can linger in us for many years, making us relive those moments, or those relationships over and over. If you become overwhelmed with memories, or resentful of how other people's actions affected your life, I would like to work with you. I walk alongside clients who feel haunted by their past. Together, we allow blocked feelings to run their course so that they don't keep reoccurring over and over. At times we might talk about what happened. However, I also use creative interventions that don't require you to put the unspeakable into words. We'll find strategies to deal with the overwhelm, and we'll learn how to leave the past in the past. However, we won't completely discard the past because what will remain is your personal growth. Eventually you will be able to think about the past, maybe even talk about it, without feeling the overwhelm. You will find strength inside that you didn't know existed... But it does. I'd feel honored to walk this path with you!

New Leaf Counseling and Wellness
Psychologist
Treating trauma and PTSD requires a comprehensive and compassionate approach that prioritizes safety, trust, and empowerment. Drawing from evidence-based therapies such as cognitive processing therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), and somatic experiencing, I work with clients to process and integrate traumatic memories in a supportive therapeutic environment. Through psychoeducation, skill-building, and experiential techniques, I help clients regain a sense of control over their lives while addressing symptoms such as hypervigilance, flashbacks, and avoidance. My specialized expertise enables me to tailor treatment to each individual's unique needs, fostering healing, resilience, and a renewed sense of hope for the future.
