Dr. Sarah Pouliot
Psychologist, PhD, LP
Trauma did not wait for consent; Therapy must. While many different therapeutic modalities exist for the treatment of trauma and PTSD, what remains essential is the thoughtful and careful negotiation of pacing between therapist and client such that the therapeutic process feels as manageable and tolerable as possible. Given that trauma so often results from harmful relational dynamics that force agendas or remove personal agency, trauma therapy must offer a healing space that does not seek to rush, pressure, or impinge. Rather, and in my professional opinion, it's imperative that trauma therapy respect the client's experience of what feels manageable at any given moment in therapeutic time and space, working to avoid unnecessary setback and potential retraumatization. I feel this is best achieved through the development of a reliable therapeutic rapport and relationship that functions to carefully and mindfully co-monitor and co-negotiate the everchanging and expanding dynamics between therapist and client. Put another way, your therapy should not be forced into someone else's timeframe or methodology; it should be allowed to develop in step with your specific history, unique needs, and comfort level. Please refer to my Trauma Blog on my website (pouliotpsychologicalservices.com) for more information on my approach to the treatment of trauma.

Dr. Ingrid Solano
Psychologist, PhD
Making sense of trauma, and the impact of trauma, can be accompanied by the fear that you will never be able to overcome the distress you feel when you remember the experience or when those intrusive nightmares, flashbacks, and negative thoughts come crashing into your awareness. Through trauma-focused therapy we reclaim confidence, hopefulness, intimacy, safety, self-esteem, and trust. I have specific expertise in treating trauma symptoms related to sexual assault, intimate partner violence and emotional abuse, military sexual trauma (MST), childhood and complex sexual trauma, violence, and combat trauma experienced by Veterans. These experiences can impact physical health, and daily life.
Many people will experience a form of trauma in their lives. Trauma can come with feelings of shame, anger, and confusion. Posttraumatic stress is a normal human reaction to traumatic events. However, for some individuals this stress persists and interferes with their ability to live the life that they want. I work with complex cases that sometimes include dissociation, numbness, anger, risky behaviors, and years of avoidance. The treatments I provide are the most powerful and effective treatments available for these conditions. I have expertise in individual, as well as relationship (i.e., with a partner) based trauma-focused therapies. I have experienced many times how these treatments help people gain new perspectives about what happened to them, develop a sense of empowerment over their trauma, and improve their lives. These treatments can also be helpful if you feel stuck following experiences of trauma, even if you don’t have PTSD. If you’re unsure whether you want to discuss your trauma, or unsure which approach feels like a good fit for you, we can discuss your concerns. We will explore trauma-focused care that builds upon your current support, coping skills, and personal experience. I primarily employ time-limited, evidence-based Cognitive-Behavioral Therapies (CBT) such as CPT, PE, and CBCT. (See Individual and Couples Therapy based Trauma-Focused Services.)
In psychological literature, stressors are defined as events and conditions (e.g., losing a job, death of an intimate partner) that cause change and require that the individual adapt to the new situation or life circumstance. Stress processes can include the experience of prejudice events, expectations of rejection, hiding and concealing your authentic self, internalized homophobia, intimate partner violence, discrimination, and ameliorative coping processes that have become bad, ineffective habits. These experiences can be particularly painful when there is social pressure to conceal your experiences, or stigma. I address what it’s like to have no one to talk to about these experiences, and any distress that comes from having nowhere to do this work safely. I practice LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy that considers the impact of minority stress and chronic stress responses. Aside from these stress processes, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and heterosexuals who report any same-sex sexual partners over their lifetime, have greater risk of childhood maltreatment, interpersonal violence, trauma to a close friend or relative, and unexpected death of someone close.

Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
For more than 33 years, I’ve worked with adults whose lives have been shaped by experiences that were overwhelming, prolonged, or carried alone for a long time. Many are thoughtful, highly responsible people who have learned to keep going, even when something inside feels stuck, numb, or on edge.
This often includes early family dynamics that were never named as “trauma,” but still live in your body and relationships. When these kinds of experiences are ongoing or rooted in early life, they are often described as complex trauma, C‑PTSD, or developmental trauma.
Difficult or frightening experiences can also arise from single incidents or periods of crisis, such as medical trauma, accidents, or other shocks. These experiences may or may not meet criteria for PTSD, but they can still leave a lasting imprint.
These experiences can influence how you understand yourself, how you move through relationships, and how your nervous system responds to daily life. You may notice changes in mood, concentration, or energy. Some people feel constantly on alert, others shut down, and many move between the two. For some, there is a clear “before and after” in their life; for others, there is a quieter sense of having experienced more than most people realize.
In our work together, we focus on building safety and softening the impact of trauma, including PTSD and C‑PTSD, on your daily life. We pay close attention to how it impacts your body, nervous system, and relationships and to the patterns and roles that once helped you cope but may now feel limiting or costly. We move at a pace that respects your capacity and what feels possible right now, with an emphasis on choice and partnership throughout the process.

Maggie Reynolds
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, EMDR Certified, NCC
Trauma is not defined by what happened, but by the impact it has on you. It can live in both the mind and body as a wound that hasn’t fully healed, or that keeps getting reopened when something triggers memories, sensations, emotions, or protective survival responses. You may be carrying the effects of a single-event trauma, such as a car accident, assault, medical trauma, or the sudden loss of a loved one. Or you may be healing from repeated experiences over time, such as childhood abuse, emotionally abusive relationships, chronic invalidation, or long-term stress that shaped how you see yourself and relate to others.
I help adults process what happened so they can stop feeling haunted, stuck, or controlled by the past and begin living more fully and confidently in the present. Many of my clients are high-functioning on the outside but privately struggling with anxiety, overwhelm, hypervigilance, shame, emotional numbness, or feeling “too much” and “not enough” at the same time.
In addition to talk therapy, I offer EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), a well-researched and effective treatment for PTSD and trauma. I also integrate parts work (Internal Family Systems/ego state), attachment-focused therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and somatic and nervous system-based approaches to support deep healing and lasting change. For clients who are looking for something more transformational, I also offer Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP), which can be especially helpful when you feel stuck in old patterns, disconnected from yourself, or when traditional therapy hasn’t gone far enough. My goal is to help you build self-trust, feel more grounded in your body, and move forward with clarity and strength.

Alistair Highet
Licensed Psychoanalyst, MA, LP, NCPsyA
Trauma leaves a mark on us, one that sometimes we can't see, but only experience. PTSD is complex, and sometimes the mechanism of our behavior is hard to uncover. We can explore that in an open, compassionate, non-judgmental way. Being human is very difficult, and we are all vulnerable to the wounds the world inflicts on us. But we can move forward. I know myself, and I know others who have done so.

Clear Path Counseling and Wellness Center
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA. LPC
Brad provides trauma-informed counseling for anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, family issues, and a wide range of related emotional and psychological concerns. These difficulties can significantly impact daily functioning, relationships, self-esteem, work performance, and overall quality of life, often leaving individuals feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves and others.
Brad takes a holistic and trauma-focused approach to therapy, integrating evidence-based trauma treatment with a personalized, client-centered framework. Rather than focusing only on symptom management, therapy explores underlying emotional patterns, life experiences, and trauma histories that may be contributing to current distress.
As an experienced trauma therapist and EMDR therapist, Brad integrates EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), trauma-informed counseling, emotional regulation strategies, and holistic therapeutic approaches to support deep and lasting change. Treatment focuses on processing past experiences, reducing emotional reactivity, and helping clients develop healthier, more adaptive ways of thinking, feeling, and relating.
Clients often come to therapy feeling weighed down by anxiety, depression, or unresolved trauma. Brad’s approach helps clients understand how past experiences may still be influencing present-day thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, and works toward resolving these patterns in a structured and supportive way.
Therapy is collaborative and individualized, designed to help clients regain a sense of control, clarity, and emotional stability. The goal is to support meaningful, sustainable change that improves relationships, strengthens resilience, and enhances overall well-being.
Brad also specializes in religious trauma counseling for individuals who have experienced harm in religious or church settings. This may include spiritual abuse, coercion, guilt-based teachings, or other distressing experiences related to organized religion. Therapy provides a safe and non-judgmental space to process these experiences and rebuild a sense of identity, meaning, and emotional safety.
Healing is possible. With the right support, clients can move beyond the impact of trauma and create a more balanced, empowered, and fulfilling life.

Maria Elizabeth LeBlanc
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, M.Ed MSW LICSW
Traumatic experiences can be singular or chronic. Often individuals feel the term trauma is only reserved for catastrophic experiences such as natural disasters, veteran's experiences, accidents, etc. More often than not, trauma can be the result of cumulative experiences throughout one's childhood and beyond (e.g. lack of safety, abuse, neglect, interpersonal violence as an adult, etc). PTSD is one's response to one or multiple traumas and can manifest as nightmares, intrusive re-experiencing of past traumatic event(s), hypervigilance, memory loss, exaggerated startle response, periods of dissociation, and more. I have experience working with both body/mind techniques to assist you in healing your trauma. Together we can come up with a plan that feels comfortable to you.

Gabrielle A. Morreale / Recovered and Restored
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.A. LPC.
Research shows that nearly 69% of women report experiencing some form of trauma in their lifetime, and approximately one in four individuals with eating disorders also experience symptoms of complex PTSD. In fact, PTSD is one of the most common co-occurring conditions alongside eating disorders. Trauma can significantly intensify eating disorder behaviors, often as the nervous system attempts to cope with overwhelming or unresolved experiences.
At Recovered & Restored, we understand that healing from both trauma and an eating disorder is courageous work. We also want you to know clearly: what happened to you was not your fault. Recovery may feel daunting at times, but it is deeply worthwhile. Our clinicians move at a pace that feels safe and manageable for each client, honoring your story and your readiness. We utilize a trauma-informed framework and draw from integrative, evidence-based modalities to support lasting healing.
Our Trauma-Informed Approach
Because trauma and eating disorders are so often interconnected, we prioritize trauma-informed care in all that we do. This approach recognizes the impact of trauma and seeks to create an environment that fosters restoration rather than re-traumatization.
Our work is grounded in five core principles:
Safety – Creating emotional and physical spaces where you feel secure.
Choice – Respecting your autonomy and honoring your voice in treatment.
Collaboration – Working together as partners in your recovery.
Trustworthiness – Maintaining transparency and consistency in care.
Empowerment – Supporting you in reclaiming your strength and resilience.
You deserve healing that feels steady, compassionate, and rooted in dignity.
We are formally trained in EMDR and Brainspotting!
