Kari Carter
Life Coach, APSATS certified, ACC, CPC, ADOH
Betrayal Trauma cam present with symptoms similar to PTSD - intrusive thoughts, hypervigilance, emotional flooding, sleep disruption, anxiety, and difficulty feeling safe. When trust has been shattered through infidelity, sexual addiction, or chronic deception, the nervous system often remains in a prolonged state of threat response.
I specialize in trauma-informed, partner-sensitive care that focuses first on stabilization and nervous system regulation before deeper processing. My work helps clients understand their trauma responses, reduce symptom intensity, establish protective boundaries, and regain a sense of internal safety. Healing is possibly when trauma is acknowledged and treated with informed, compassionate support.

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder can result from various traumas. 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.

When the Past Still Feels Present
You may know, logically, that a painful experience is behind you — yet your body and mind don’t always agree. A sound, a tone of voice, or even a smell can suddenly bring back the rush of fear, shame, or helplessness. Trauma can make you feel like you’re living in survival mode, constantly alert, exhausted, or detached from yourself and others. Healing from trauma isn’t about “getting over it.” It’s about helping your brain and body learn that you are safe again.
In therapy, we’ll use a structured, evidence-based approach called TEAM-CBT combined with the Trauma Resiliency Model (TRM) to calm your nervous system, rebuild trust in your body, and process painful memories at a pace that feels safe. Together, we’ll:
Understand how trauma reshapes the brain and body’s threat response
Learn grounding tools to bring the body back to the present moment
Release shame, guilt, and self-blame that often follow trauma
Rebuild a sense of safety, strength, and connection in your daily life
Transform survival skills into sources of resilience and wisdom
Our work focuses on restoring balance — helping you feel more in control, more connected, and more alive. Healing happens not by reliving the past, but by reclaiming your power in the present.
I BELIEVE:
Trauma changes how we survive, not who we are.
Safety and connection are the foundation of healing.
Your symptoms are not weakness — they’re evidence of strength and adaptation.
You can feel safe in your body again.
Compassion, not confrontation, is what restores the nervous system.
Also Integrated In Our Work:
• Interpersonal Work – to strengthen connection and empower you to be yourself using The 5 Secrets of Effective Communication
• Mindful Self-Compassion – to cultivate a gentler, kinder inner voice through the work of Dr. Kristin Neff

Victoria Miller
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
CPT helps people recognize how trauma has changed their view about themselves, others, and the world. CPT teaches people to recognize the negative thoughts that are created by the trauma. These thoughts are called "stuck points" in CPT because they keep people stuck and get in the way of recovery from PTSD (from the National Center for PTSD (.gov))

Cindy Lee Collins
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
I specialize in working with adults experiencing trauma and PTSD, including symptoms such as intrusive memories, emotional reactivity, avoidance, hypervigilance, dissociation, and difficulty feeling safe in relationships or in one’s own body. Trauma can result from a single overwhelming event or from repeated or developmental experiences that shape how the nervous system responds to stress over time.
My approach is trauma-informed, paced, and focused on resolving symptoms at their root rather than only managing them. I use EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and the Comprehensive Resource Model (CRM) to help process traumatic experiences in a way that reduces emotional intensity and supports integration. These modalities work directly with how trauma is stored in the brain and nervous system, allowing for meaningful change without requiring you to repeatedly relive distressing material.
I also integrate nervous system regulation and attachment-based work, with a strong emphasis on establishing internal safety, increasing capacity for emotional tolerance, and rebuilding a sense of stability and trust in self and others. Therapy is carefully paced and collaborative, with attention to maintaining regulation throughout the process.
Many clients come to me feeling stuck in survival responses that persist long after the trauma has ended. Through this work, clients often experience fewer trauma symptoms, improved emotional regulation, and a greater sense of groundedness, safety, and connection in daily life.

California Center for Change
Psychologist, PhD
Many people who struggle with addiction are also carrying the weight of experiences that were never fully processed, childhood wounds, losses, or events that left a lasting mark on how they see themselves and the world. Substances can become a way of managing the pain, the numbness, or the hypervigilance that trauma leaves behind. We are trained in trauma-informed approaches and work gently and carefully to help you make sense of what happened, reduce the hold it has on your present life, and build a stronger foundation for lasting change.

Hilary Stokes
Therapist, PHD, LCSW
We experience trauma when the stress or fear of threat overwhelm our system and we are not able to consciously process everything that is happening. Our instincts take over and our nervous system goes into survival mode to help us deal with the situation. This is a process known as neuroception, where we assess risks and react via our primal instincts. This looks like the part of our nervous system that is capable of survival and takes a primary role and we either fight, flight, freeze, appease or collapse in response to what is happening. Our rational thinking brain takes a back seat to let our instinctual emotional brain take over. Once we experience an event as traumatic, our nervous system makes it difficult to get out. The part of our brain responsible for memory of details, time, space and basic facts becomes far less active and our sensory memory takes over. We can lose track of the details making it challenging to recall what happened after the fact. The traumatic experiences get stored at a sensory, visceral, and often nonverbal level in our implicit memory. We may experience this at more of an unconscious level making it difficult to fully process at a more cognitive or conscious level.
These memories tend to get suspended or stuck in time leaving a residue of unresolved distressing energy. This puts a lot of stress on the mind-body system, is exhausting and inevitably is not sustainable. Healing as a result requires accessing the implicit memories that exist outside of our ability to verbalize and rationally process our thoughts about what happened. Brainspotting, EMDR , somatic therapy and other mind body therapies known to access implicit memory networks are vital to healing. They help move memories from an unconscious and unresolved state to a more conscious and adaptive state.

Using a compassionate, trauma-informed approach, I provide a safe and supportive space to help you process difficult experiences, understand the impact of trauma on your mind and body, and develop healthier ways of coping and healing.
