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.

Justine Astacio | Lotus Theory LLC
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Trauma is often held in the body as patterns of tension, reactivity, or shutdown, even when the events themselves are in the past.
Our approach focuses on helping clients safely reconnect with their bodies and process these patterns over time. By combining somatic therapy with structured support, we help clients build a greater sense of safety, stability, and control in their present-day experience.

Thomas Hanna
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, NCC, CCTP, CCATP
Following a traumatic event, everyone experiences certain symptoms. It’s the sleepless nights, the sudden recollections that invade your memories, and the unexpected panic in situations that remind you of the event.
For many of us, that experience fades over time. With PTSD, something blocks that natural recovery. Rather than fading away, those reactions intensify.
It is this intensification that forms many of the symptoms of PTSD. These symptoms include:
- Sudden, unexpected memories
- Avoiding locations and events
- Difficulty sleeping
- Feeling "jumpy" or easily startled
- Feeling perpetually “in danger”
It is estimated that 70% of adults have experienced a traumatic event at some point in their life. Because trauma can be complex and overwhelming, it requires a knowledgable approach to treatment.
Trauma Therapy With Tempest Counseling
The goal of treating trauma is to identify what is “blocking” that ability to recover, overcome those barriers, and facilitate that process of healing.
To accomplish this, Tempest draws from three of the leading evidence-based treatments for trauma. These include Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TFCBT), and Prolonged Exposure Therapy (PE). All three of these are considered the gold standard for PTSD treatment.
Better still, these three approaches have proven to be highly effective online. Each has particular strengths, and some methods work better depending on the unique experiences of the client. At Tempest, we employ a combination of these three protocols, tailored to your specific needs.
This unique, individualized approach is what allows Tempest to be so effective in trauma treatment.

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.

Carey Luker
Licensed Professional Counselor, LMHC, LPC
If you’ve been through painful, overwhelming, or traumatic experiences, it can sometimes feel like your mind and body are still carrying the weight of them long after they’ve happened. Trauma can show up in many ways—anxiety, emotional numbness, overthinking, difficulty trusting others, feeling constantly on edge, people-pleasing, panic, nightmares, or feeling disconnected from yourself. You may find yourself trying to hold everything together on the outside while feeling exhausted internally. In therapy, my goal is to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you don’t have to carry those experiences alone. Together, we’ll move at your pace, focusing on helping you feel more grounded, understood, emotionally safe, and better able to reconnect with yourself and your life.

Trauma is like a infected wound that sometimes the surface layer has healed, but the damage is still continuing within. An unhealed wound can often be reopened by different triggers, and the symptoms and patterns repeat again. As your therapist, my role is guide and help you affectively "clean" and "treat" the wound, so that it can stop the damage and heal properly.

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.

Katherine Coder
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, PhD, LPC, LMHC
Trauma and PTSD are ultimately forms of nervous system dysregulation and where the primitive brain may be holding onto life experience that was too early, too fast or too much ~ all of which overwhelms our natural capacities for processing. We can work with Somatic Experiencing and Deep Brain Orienting to help you move through what overwhelmed you so that your nervous system can return to a regulated state. It is very possible to heal from both trauma and PTSD, and you can do more than manage your symptoms. Our bodies are made to heal!

Heather Champion
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC, Florida Supreme Court Certified Family Court Mediator
Complex trauma is likely the deeper cause of many of our self-esteem and self-harming problems. Complex trauma is referred to this way because of the complexity of how much of our self-concept is affected by these types of traumas. I have received formal training in treating complex trauma and have adapted this training to help those with complex trauma find healing and acceptance.

Danielle Farabaugh
Psychologist, Psy.D.
My approach to treating trauma and PTSD is grounded in evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and trauma-focused interventions, including Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) and Prolonged Exposure (PE). I provide a safe and supportive environment where clients can process traumatic experiences at their own pace while learning skills to reduce distress and re-establish a sense of safety and control. Through structured, collaborative work, clients learn to reframe unhelpful beliefs, manage triggers, and build resilience, promoting healing and recovery from the impact of trauma.

Tampa is a rapidly growing city with a significant military presence at MacDill AFB, creating sustained demand for therapists who specialize in military trauma, deployment-related adjustment, and the challenges of veteran and military family life. The city's growth has brought a large influx of transplants from the Northeast and Midwest, and therapists frequently address the adjustment, social isolation, and identity shifts common among people rebuilding their lives in a new city. Tampa General Hospital and AdventHealth serve as major institutional mental health anchors, with a growing private practice community concentrated in South Tampa, Hyde Park, and the New Tampa corridor. Many Tampa therapists now offer telehealth, making it easier to serve clients spread across Hillsborough and Pinellas counties.
