Brent Peak
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is a powerful and efficient approach to healing trauma and PTSD, often bringing significant relief in just one session, with most clients needing no more than 3-5. Unlike traditional talk therapy, ART helps your brain rapidly process and reframe traumatic memories, so they no longer feel overwhelming or intrusive. You don’t have to relive the details of what happened—ART works gently and effectively to reduce distress, ease triggers, and restore a sense of calm. If you’re struggling with flashbacks, anxiety, or the lingering effects of trauma, ART can help you find lasting relief and move forward with confidence.
Trauma isn’t just something that happened in the past—it’s something your body and mind are still carrying. If you’ve experienced trauma, whether from childhood, relationships, or a specific event, you might feel stuck in patterns of fear, anxiety, or emotional numbness. Maybe you struggle with flashbacks, nightmares, or an inability to fully relax, as if your nervous system is constantly bracing for danger. Even when you try to move forward, certain triggers can bring the past rushing back, making it feel like it’s happening all over again. This isn’t just in your head—your brain has stored trauma in a way that keeps it feeling fresh and unresolved.
Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) helps your brain reprocess trauma so it no longer controls you. Unlike traditional therapy that requires talking about painful experiences over and over, ART works quickly to change how trauma is stored in the brain—without reliving the pain. In just a few sessions, ART can reduce the emotional intensity of traumatic memories, allowing you to move forward without being constantly triggered. Therapy isn’t about forgetting the past—it’s about breaking free from its grip, so you can feel safe, present, and in control of your life again. You don’t have to stay trapped in survival mode—healing is possible, and you deserve peace.

PTSD/Trauma
Growth Counseling
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
As Bessel Van Der Kolk says "The Body Keeps the Score". This statement refers to the now scientifically proven notion that trauma is not just the "bad things" that happen to us, but what happens in our bodies as well. Trauma is the lump in our throats, the heaviness in our chests, the anxiety in our stomachs, and tension in our muscles. In order to help heal from trauma and PTSD, we need to connect to our bodies and bring the body into the therapeutic experience. I am certified in EMDR which is proven to help process and heal past trauma of all kinds, including "shock trauma" (war, natural disasters, car accidents) and "relational/developmental trauma" (emotional abuse, neglect, sexual abuse).

Jasmine Wilson
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, SEP-IT
You may carry the effects of trauma even if you don’t always think of your experiences as “trauma.” Many people living with complex trauma struggle with anxiety, shame, people-pleasing, emotional numbness, relationship difficulties, hyper-independence, or feeling constantly on edge. Often, these patterns began as ways to survive difficult environments or relationships.
Healing from trauma is not about forcing yourself to revisit everything at once. In our work, we’ll move at a pace that feels safe while helping your nervous system learn that the past is not happening now. Together, we can work toward greater emotional regulation, healthier relationships, deeper self-understanding, and a stronger sense of safety within yourself.

Gina Majestro
Psychologist, PsyD, HSP, HSPP
Sometimes it feels like you’re doing everything “right” — but inside, you still feel stuck, anxious, or disconnected from the person you want to be. Maybe you’ve been carrying old wounds for a long time, trying to hold it all together, and you’re just ready for something to finally shift.
I work with adults who are ready to move beyond survival and start truly living. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in deep respect for your story. Together, we’ll explore the patterns and protective parts that once kept you safe — and help you build new ways of feeling grounded, connected, and at home in yourself.
You don’t have to keep doing this alone. Healing is possible, even if you’ve tried before and nothing seemed to work.
I offer in person therapy in Louisville, KY and virtual therapy for adults in Kentucky, Indiana, and across 42 PSYPACT states.
If you’re ready to take that next step — I’d be honored to walk with you.

Shannon Gorres
Life Coach, MDiv, MA
My understanding of trauma has shifted along with international research on why some events create lasting challenging effects for some people but not for others. Our collective awareness has gone from thinking, “What's wrong with you?” to asking, “What happened to you?” and now focusing on, “Who was there for you?”
A simple retelling of a traumatic experience does not always deeply heal the one who suffers. While it can feel good to be truly heard, especially for those who have never told it before and need real empathy, repeatedly telling the story does not often change the subconscious beliefs implanted during the trauma or the nervous system’s reactivity.
Instead, we build a new relationship with a traumatic experience by re-approaching the memory and inviting a shift. Often the shift is around “Who could have been there for you.” While in factual reality, no one may have stopped the trauma, we can access another perspective that enables our bodies, hearts, and minds to feel supported. We can do this many ways: through role play, through calling in ancestors or pop stars or our highest selves, or by letting our wise adult-self take over the situation. Or we may use drawing materials or nature to discover a new part of the experience we didn’t realize before.
I've taken many trainings in the origins and effects of trauma and PTSD, and I find working with the nervous system and imaginal realm (creative liminal space) highly effective. I'm not a licensed mental health therapist; I'm a spiritual life coach, so my work is integrative. I offer: calm spaciousness & empathy as you talk, embodied processing options (drawing, clay work, self soothing), and inner parts work (mediated inner dialogue or a “committee of voices,” similar to Soulwork or Internal Family Systems).
Then we make a plan to implement the new shift into everyday life.

Claire Karakey
Therapist, LPC, MC
Traumatic experiences often involve a physical threat to life or safety but any situation that leaves a person feeling isolated, helpless, and overwhelmed can result in Trauma. Traumatic events include accidents, abuse, bullying, neglect, breakups, humiliation, chronic illness, or the sudden death of a loved one.
Trauma can often manifest in destructive behaviors such as substance abuse, self-harm, and codependency. An individual struggling with past traumas can experience insomnia, irritability, aches and pains, fear, anxiety, and hopelessness. Trauma can affect work performance and relationships, cause one to withdraw and isolate from others, and potentially resort to using drugs or self-harm in order to cope with the intense emotions.
Whatever the cause of the trauma – and whether it happened recently or in childhood – therapy can help. A therapist can use a variety of modalities including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Talk Therapy, and Mindfulness techniques to help reprogram and heal the traumatic memories so a healthier, happier life can be realized.
