Sophie Pierce
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I understand trauma responses as the nervous system’s adaptive attempts to cope with overwhelming experiences, rather than simply symptoms to be eliminated. Healing occurs through safe, supportive relationships that help restore a sense of connection, regulation, and trust. I work collaboratively with children, and families to build understanding, strengthen resilience, and support meaningful growth.

Clark Thompson, PsyD, MA
Psychologist, PsyD, MA
I offer comprehensive virtual neuropsychological assessments for individuals experiencing trauma-related symptoms, helping clients across PSYPACT states understand how traumatic experiences have impacted their cognitive and emotional functioning. My trauma and PTSD evaluations examine not only classic symptoms like intrusive memories and hypervigilance but also assess how trauma affects concentration, memory, executive functioning, and emotional regulation—providing crucial insights often missed in standard clinical interviews. With specialized training in neuropsychology and years of experience across various clinical settings, I create thorough assessment reports that validate your experiences, differentiate PTSD from other conditions, and provide clear pathways toward healing through targeted treatment recommendations and practical coping strategies.

Jonathan Schmalz
Psychologist, PhD, HSP-P
A trauma-informed approach underlies all of my work as a therapist. I know that many clients come to therapy not specifically because of trauma, but because they feel lonely or inadequate, they are depressed or anxious, or just cannot seem to have the intimacy they crave. Sometimes acknowledging trauma comes later in the therapy work and that is okay. Just know that I trust that you will talk about it when you are ready.
I would like to join you in acknowledging how the past has affected your present and in charting a course to healing that works for you. You may wish to talk about particular pains from the past and you may wish to focus on the future. We will work together to find the balance that is right for you, so that you can live the life that you really want to live.

Dorothy Brown
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I believe that most people who come to therapy, have some form of trauma in their life. Often people don't recognize the " little t traumas". I also work with people who have been through traumas such as sexual abuse and assault. I am able to use EFT with clients to help to clear the trauma from their body.

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.

Lisa Cleary
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Trauma can show up in ways that are hard to explain—feeling constantly on edge, emotionally overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself and others. Even when you “know” you’re safe, your body may still react as if the past is happening now. I specialize in trauma-informed therapies such as EMDR and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), which help process and resolve past experiences so they no longer feel as intense or intrusive.
In our work together, we move at a pace that feels safe and manageable, helping you build resilience, regain a sense of control, and feel more grounded in your present life.

Caitlin Derouen
Licensed Professional Counselor, NCC, LPC, EMDRT
I specialize in treating trauma and PTSD utilizing safe, integrative and trauma informed approaches. I am trained in EMDR, a highly effective method for treating complex and deeply rooted trauma to alleviate symptoms and remove the impact of triggers that may be affecting your daily life. EMDR seeks to use our brain's natural healing ability to alter the unhealthy internal narratives that became a part of our story when the trauma occurred. For this reason, EMDR is my preferred method for addressing trauma of almost any kind. I am also certified in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), a technique that allows me to quickly provide patients with some relief from their symptoms through guiding them through their internal process in a creative way to encourage desensitization to triggers and alleviation of difficult symptoms.

Gayle MacBride
Psychologist, PhD, LP
Treating trauma has been a specialty of mine for almost 15 years. I mostly use Cognitive Processing Therapy to understand the impact trauma has had on you and your life and then we use skills to address the thoughts that are keeping you stuck in old patterns. We will talk about important themes like safety, trust, power/control, esteem, and intimacy as a part of your trauma patterns. Changing how you think about trauma can help you get unstuck and live in more peaceful ways.

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.
