Brianna Gomez
Pre-Licensed Professional, MS - Bilingual Trauma Informed Therapist
Trauma and PTSD are frequently treated together since one can so frequently lead to the other. One of the most important elements of treating clients who have experienced trauma and PTSD is establishing a therapeutic dynamic that feels safe for clients. Behavioral strategies which may help decrease panic attacks and/or flashbacks is discussed in the beginning of treatment to allow the client time to get acclimated to the therapeutic relationship prior to beginning discussion regarding trauma. In these situations I implement Narrative Therapy which can make the experience of discussing traumatic experiences more comfortable for clients.

Mikela Hallmark
Therapist, MS, LPC, LMHC
Post-traumatic stress isn’t just about flashbacks or nightmares — it’s what happens when overwhelming experiences don’t get to complete their cycle. It’s a nervous system stuck in survival mode, long after the threat is gone. You might feel hyperaware, disconnected, emotionally numb, or easily triggered by things you can’t always explain.
I work with PTSD through a relational, trauma-informed lens that honors the intelligence of your coping strategies while helping you build new experiences of safety, connection, and choice. We don’t rush. We don’t retraumatize. We work gently, at your pace, with deep respect for the ways your body and mind have protected you.
Healing isn’t about forgetting what happened — it’s about reclaiming your sense of self outside of what happened. Together, we’ll create space for your story, your voice, and your right to feel fully alive again.

Nancy Burns
Counselor/Therapist, JD, LMHC, LPC, MA, EMDR Certified
Childhood trauma is a series of experiences that are accumulated over time, and untangling them can feel overwhelming. It doesn’t have to involve physical abuse or be one big recognizable event; repeated instances of emotional neglect and not recieving appropriate support from your caregivers when going through a difficult time can be just as harmful. In fact, complex, developmental trauma (CPTSD) often has emotional neglect at its core. Neglect is what you should have had but didn’t get as a child; what didn’t happen that should have happened. Emotional neglect occurs when parents don’t respond to, acknowledge, or validate their child’s feelings often enough. Repeatedly not being listened to by your parents, being teased for expressing your emotions, or being told “if you don’t stop crying, I will give you something to cry about” all can take a toll. A child growing up in this environment, even if their parents "mean well" and provide for their physical needs, has no room for emotions. This child might have a hard time identifying, understanding and expressing their feelings. These difficulties can last into adulthood. Our childhood traumatic experiences continue to affect how we feel about ourselves when we become adults. Adults who experienced childhood emotional neglect often have life-long negative beliefs about themselves. They often feel lonely, empty, unimportant, different, and unfulfilled in life. This affects how we build relationships with other people, and how we handle conflict and stressful situations. Together, we will work to understand how your past experiences are impacting your current reality. We will chart a path forward, using EMDR, Somatic approaches and others, towards something healthier, more balanced and whole, so that you will feel more comfortable setting necessary boundaries with difficult people and living authentically. - - - “Healing is not about fixing what is broken, but about removing the barriers to what is already whole.” Faisal Ali Sarohi

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 & PTSD: From Survival to Sovereignty
Rewiring the Alarm and Reclaiming the Present
Trauma is not just what happened to you; it is the "residue" left behind in your nervous system. It is a state where your body remains stuck in a past moment of danger, leading to a life of hyper-vigilance, emotional overwhelm, and systemic burnout. In my practice, we approach trauma with radical compassion and clinical precision, working to help your brain finally move "the then" out of "the now."
The Landscape of Traumatic Stress
Trauma often lives in the "wordless" parts of the brain, manifesting in ways that logic alone cannot reach. We work together to address:
The High-Alert System: Navigating the constant state of "fight or flight" that leads to irritability, insomnia, and an inability to relax.
The Shut Down & Dissociation: Addressing the "numbing out" or the feeling of being disconnected from your body—a protective freeze response used to survive the unbearable.
Attachment Trauma: Exploring how early "systemic" wounds in the family or spiritual community have shaped your ability to feel safe in relationships today.
A Specialized Path to Resolution
With over 20 years of experience, I integrate deep-reaching, somatic-based modalities to move beyond "talk therapy" into true neurological healing:
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing): As an EMDRIA-trained clinician, I use this gold-standard treatment to help your brain process traumatic memories so they no longer trigger the same intense physical and emotional distress.
IFS-Informed "Parts" Work: We get curious about the parts of you that are "stuck" in the trauma—the protectors, the exiles, and the managers—helping them find a new role in a safe present.
Systems Theory & Social Inequity: We acknowledge how external forces—power imbalances, systemic inequity, and spiritual trauma—contribute to and sustain a sense of "un-safety."
Sanctuary for the Healer
I have a "special love" for working with therapists and pastors who are carrying their own "unprocessed" trauma while holding the trauma of their communities. You deserve a peer-level space where you can finally put down the armor of the "helper" and address your own wounds with a clinician who understands the weight of your role.

Dr. Howard Chusid
Licensed Professional Counselor, Ed.D, LMHC, NCC, MAC
My other area of specialty is PTSD and Trauma. While I am conversant with EMDR and Rational Trauma Therapy, I have learned a new mode of therapy called Reset Therapy. Reset Therapy uses sound to reset the files in our hippocampus, so the original incident will be distorted and no longer amplify in the same way. It changes the affect that the record has, which is to be less responsive and better controlled. Reset therapy has worked in hundred of cases of military trauma and in cases of extreme physical trauma.

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.

Kreins Psychological Services
Psychologist, PhD, PsyD
As a psychologist specializing in trauma and PTSD, my treatment approach is rooted in compassion, safety, and evidence-based interventions. Through therapies such as cognitive processing therapy (CPT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), and trauma-focused cognitive-behavioral therapy (TF-CBT), I collaborate with individuals to process traumatic memories, challenge negative beliefs, and develop effective coping strategies. Creating a safe therapeutic environment is paramount, allowing clients to explore their experiences at their own pace while feeling supported and validated. Psychoeducation about trauma responses and self-regulation techniques empowers individuals to manage symptoms and regain a sense of control over their lives. Additionally, I integrate mindfulness practices, relaxation techniques, and grounding exercises to promote emotional regulation and resilience. My goal is to facilitate healing, restore a sense of safety, and empower individuals to thrive beyond their traumatic experiences.
