Jacqueline Elster
Psychologist, PsyD, HSPP, LP
Helping you process, integrate and reduce the emotional impact of traumatic experiences in a safe and controlled environment is my goal. This may involve identifying and altering distressing thoughts and behaviors that have followed a traumatic experience. Working with you to gradually desensitize yourself to trauma-related triggers, can help reduce avoidance and dramatically decrease anxiety. My area of expertise is the treatment of trauma and PTSD. Working in residential rehabilitations for substance use disorders and then working at the VA laid the foundation for expertise in this area. I am trained in Cognitive Processing Therapy, Prolonged Exposure, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Seeking Safety, Accelerated Resolution Therapy and Written Exposure Therapy.

Rising Calm Center
Life Coach, MA, CMHC
I help individuals impacted by trauma and PTSD gently process overwhelming experiences that may still be affecting their thoughts, emotions, body, and sense of safety. Through a compassionate, trauma-informed, and faith-based approach, I support clients in understanding their nervous system responses, reducing symptoms of hypervigilance and distress, and safely working through painful memories at a tolerable pace. My desire is to help individuals experience healing, restoration, and renewed safety—both internally and in their relationship with God—so they can move forward with greater peace, stability, and freedom.

Resilient Counseling, Coaching & Consulting
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
You might consider therapy for trauma or PTSD if you notice that something painful from your past still feels very present in your life. This could look like having unwanted memories or flashbacks, nightmares, feeling “on edge” or jumpy, or avoiding people, places, or situations that remind you of what happened. Some people feel numb or disconnected, have trouble trusting others, or feel sudden waves of fear, shame, or anger that don’t seem to match what’s happening in the moment. You don’t have to have a specific diagnosis or a “big” event for your experience to matter; if what you went through is still affecting your sleep, your relationships, your mood, your body, or your ability to get through the day, that’s an important sign that extra support could help.
Therapy for trauma and PTSD offers a safe, steady space to begin making sense of what you’ve been carrying, at a pace that feels manageable for you. Eve will work with you to help you learn grounding and calming skills so you can feel more in control of your body and emotions before you dive into the harder memories. Over time, you might gently process what happened, challenge the painful beliefs you may have taken on about yourself (“It was my fault,” “I’m not safe,” “I’m broken”), and build new ways of relating to yourself and others. Therapy can also help you reconnect with things that bring you comfort and meaning, set healthier boundaries, and feel less alone with your story. Many people find that, while trauma is still part of their history, it no longer runs their whole life—and there is more room for relief, connection, and hope.

David Essel, M.S., O.M.
Counselor/Therapist, Master's Degree Psychology, Ordained All Faiths Minister
When most people think of PTSD, they think of veterans returning from war. Which is very true.
Others might think of someone who had a near-drowning experience. And that will create PTSD as well.
But there are other events in life that can create ongoing PTSD, that we may not even recognize. Childhood trauma. Losing a pet. Or a job. or a relationship. Divorce trauma. Addiction trauma. Car accident trauma. The list is endless.
For the past 30 years, number one best-selling author, counselor, master Life Coach and minister David Essel has been helping people to understand the power of trauma, PTSD, and the stress of trying to live with either.

Maria Barber
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
I take a gentle, IFS‑informed approach to trauma and PTSD, helping you understand the protective parts of you that have worked hard to keep you safe. Trauma isn’t a sign of weakness—it’s the imprint of overwhelming experiences that your system adapted to in the best way it could. In therapy, we slow down and build enough safety for those protective parts to soften so we can access the wounded, burdened places that still carry fear, shame, or overwhelm.
IFS offers a compassionate, non‑pathologizing way to work with trauma. Instead of forcing change or revisiting memories before you’re ready, we honor the internal system that developed to help you survive. As you build more connection with your Self—your calm, grounded, wise center—your parts begin to trust that healing is possible. Over time, the intensity of triggers decreases, emotional reactivity settles, and you gain more clarity and choice in how you move through the world.
Whether trauma shows up in your relationships, your nervous system, or your sense of self, I provide a steady, attuned space to help you heal at a pace that feels safe and sustainable.

Trauma is actually a really big umbrella. Everyone experiences trauma in their life, some are severe and some are not and how they affect people will vary from person to person. Many don't even realize that they have actually experienced trauma and don't recognize how it is truly showing up in their relationships, work and life in general. Trauma and PTSD related issue can affect EVERY area of your life.

Sumer Statler Aeed
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
Trauma is the experience not just of what happened to us, but by how our bodies, neurology, and hearts respond to what happened to us. Traumas of 'small t' and traumas of 'big T' both create adaptions to our true selves that can lead in our being 'stuck' in ways that don't serve us, that may create more trauma, or disconnection from our true selves and to our relationships with others. We have multiple ways of healing trauma, including complex traumas, including Flash Therapy, EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), clinical hypnosis, somatic work, art therapy and more. Coming back to your true self, perhaps for the first time, is not a journey to be missed.

Adela Stone
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LPCC
Unhealed trauma and grief can quietly shape relationships, creating distance, misunderstandings, or reactivity. I provide a supportive, trauma-informed space where couples can navigate loss, address the lingering impact of past wounds, and rebuild a sense of safety and closeness. My goal is to help you face pain together, so it becomes a source of resilience rather than disconnection.

Jenelle N. Ashley
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC, MCAP, CCTP
Trauma can leave you feeling disconnected, on edge, or unsure why certain emotions or reactions show up so strongly. You may notice patterns like shutting down, feeling overwhelmed, or avoiding situations that once felt easy. These responses aren’t flaws, they’re learned forms of protection that made sense at the time.
In therapy, we work together to understand these patterns with clarity and compassion. My approach is steady, supportive, and paced to your comfort. We focus on helping you feel more grounded in your body, more present in your daily life, and more connected to yourself. You don’t have to revisit every detail of the past; instead, we explore how those experiences show up now and build healthier ways to respond.
Healing is possible, and you don’t have to navigate it alone.
