Tiffany O'Toole
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LCMHC, LPCC
Most of my professional experience has been working with military service members and their spouses. I've worked at several Marine Corps bases and am very familiar with Marine culture. In addition, I have five years of experience as a military spouse which allows me to connect and understand the military community’s issues from both a personal and professional level.
I utilize EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing), yoga, breathing techniques, meditation, and mindfulness as wellness tools. I am passionate about helping survivors of trauma reconnect with their bodies. I have provided free trauma sensitive yoga classes to sexual assault survivors and volunteer with local sexual assault service programs.

Mia Turner
Therapist, MA, RYT, ASDCS, LMFT, NPT-C, CMNCS, CMIP
Specialized support for trauma, complex trauma (C-PTSD), developmental trauma, attachment trauma, racial trauma, medical trauma, religious trauma, identity-based trauma, intergenerational trauma, and the impacts of systemic oppression, marginalization, and chronic invalidation. This work is particularly attuned to the experiences of neurodivergent, disabled, chronically ill, LGBTQIA2S+, BIPOC, multicultural, and other multiply marginalized individuals whose trauma often exists at the intersection of personal experiences and larger social systems.
My approach integrates EMDR, somatic therapy, polyvagal-informed practices, mindfulness, parts work, expressive arts, neuropsychotherapy, attachment-focused work, and liberation-oriented healing. Rather than asking what is wrong with you, we explore what happened to you, what happened around you, what happened within you, and the ways your nervous system, body, relationships, and sense of self adapted in order to survive.
Trauma often lives far beyond conscious memory. It is carried in the nervous system, muscles, breath, sensory experiences, patterns of tension, hypervigilance, perfectionism, people-pleasing, over-functioning, shutdown, dissociation, emotional overwhelm, chronic self-monitoring, difficulty resting, difficulty trusting, or a persistent feeling of being disconnected from yourself, your body, or your needs. Many of these responses reflect the intelligence of a system that learned how to survive under difficult circumstances rather than evidence that something is wrong with you.
This work invites a deeper understanding of the body's role in both survival and healing. Through attention to sensation, emotion, movement, breath, imagery, nervous system states, and the wisdom held by different parts of self, space is created for greater regulation, flexibility, self-compassion, and choice. Healing is not approached as fixing, erasing, or becoming someone different, but as gently reconnecting with the parts of yourself that may have been hidden beneath protection, adaptation, or survival.
As a multiply marginalized clinician whose work is informed by both professional expertise and lived understanding of trauma, culture, gender, neurodivergence, disability, chronic illness, and systemic oppression, I recognize that healing is rarely about symptom reduction alone. It is often about reclaiming connection to your body, your voice, your needs, your culture, your values, your relationships, your joy, your interests, your communities, and your capacity to move through life with greater authenticity, agency, and self-trust. The goal is not to return to who you were before trauma, but connecting with safe-enough states and reclaiming connection to self, community, embodiment, joy, agency, and the parts of you that existed long before survival became necessary.

Chris Tickner
Marriage and Family Therapist, PhD, MFT
Trauma is what happens when we experience something that is overwhelming or life-threatening. Sexual or physical abuse, neglect, accidents, natural disasters, crime, loss of loved ones... All of these things can leave a mark. Our brain responds to trauma the way it has for thousands and thousands of years. And while that helped us survive in more primitive times, today it can leave us unable to function, riddled with fear and anxiety, avoiding the very things that used to bring us pleasure. At its worse, trauma becomes Posttraumatic Stress Disorder. The good news is that the field of psychology, through the use of brain imaging, has developed powerful treatment approaches to the resolution of trauma and PTSD. The field of Somatic Psychology has been a hotbed for the development of effective treatments including EMDR, Brainspotting, Somatic Experiencing, and Sensori-Motor Psychotherapy. With 25 years of experience, training in many of these approaches, and both an MA and Ph.D. in Somatic Psychology, I am eager to help you recover from the devastating impact of trauma.

Shadi Souferian
Psychologist, Psy.D
Traumatic events can have long-term effects on an individual. When someone experiences a traumatic event, the primitive, part of their brain becomes overactive, which can lead to a persistent state of hypervigilance. Therapy can help process the trauma a, become aware of the triggers that get set off because of the trauma, and learn skills to self-regulate, self-soothe, and overcome the grip the trauma has on you.

Allie Michie, MS
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT159347
Trauma reshapes the way we see ourselves, our relationships, and the world around us. It can show up as hypervigilance, disconnection, patterns that feel impossible to break, or a sense that you're never quite safe. I work with clients using a trauma-informed approach, meaning we move at your pace, with your sense of safety always in mind, and we never go further than you're ready to go.

Scheyden Herold
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT #137593, MS
Trauma and PTSD are so incredibly common and underrecognized. People often go decades in their lives with undiagnosed PTSD and trauma without even realizing it. It is important to unveil the traumatic experiences we have gone through in our lives. Some people can experience trauma and not develop PTSD. However, there are many people who experience trauma and don't recognize they have. I am here to work with you through that. I can provide you a safe place to explore the traumatic experiences that are causing you pain, and we can begin to get your life back in order, one piece at a time.

Marcelle Little
Marriage and Family Therapist, MPH, MA
My belief is that we all have experienced some sort of trauma whether it is chronic or acute. The vicious cycle of repeating the same experience over and over again, whether in the mind or physically, is exhausting, not to mention harmful. Through a trauma-informed approach, we take it slow to activate the parasympathetic nervous system, our calm state, to change the chemistry in our mind and body, learning self-regulating techniques to eventually integrate the experience.

Tara McGrath
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I have a special focus on religious trauma and related issues. I am EMDR trained and for some, this will be the main approach to therapy. However, it is not my only approach. Religious trauma is usually a complex trauma, or as I often say, trauma by 1000 paper cuts. Therefore, it's important for us to build trust and rapport, and to go slow.

Christian Holmes
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., Associate Marriage and Family Therapist
Trauma can feel so overwhelming. It has a way of infecting every area of one's life. In my work with those who experience trauma I take a collaborative approach where we assess and address the trauma from all angles. We use talk therapy to process what has gone unaddressed and discover together the meaning made and the effect it had on you in your relationship with yourself and others. I also use evidence-based practices like EMDR and TF-CBT (Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral) Therapy which allows us to address cognitive distortions and negative beliefs you hold about yourself so that you can overcome the pain and suffering and experience more joy and freedom.

Arielle Grossman
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Trauma is the invisible wound we all carry. Working with me, I will help you understand what trauma is, how it impacts the body, build active body awareness and coping skills around it. Trauma can feel like a scary word and meaning. But what happened to you, does not define you and you have the power to change the story surrounding this trauma wound.

Laura Anderson LPCC, Eff Shame Therapy
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
Trauma just means wound — and most of us are carrying more than we realize. It shows up in our relationships, our bodies, our patterns, the ways we shrink or explode or go numb. The question isn't whether you've been affected but how deeply, and what's possible on the other side of actually healing it.
I bring extensive experience working with trauma and PTSD and am honored to offer some of the most effective trauma-focused approaches available — including EMDR, Flash Technique, ketamine-assisted EMDR, and psychedelic-assisted therapy — alongside the foundational skills and relational work that make deeper healing possible. Intensives available for those ready to go further, faster.
This work can give you back parts of yourself you may have forgotten existed.

There are different types of traumas, one incidental trauma or repeatedly experienced traumas, such as from negative relationship patterns with a family member. Usually understanding and resolving the effects of trauma can be complex. This is why consulting with a trained professional in relationships and other systems, a marriage and family therapist can be very helpful.
