My collaborative, evidence-based approach prioritizes safety, trust, and pacing care in a way that feels manageable for each individual. Treatment focuses on reducing symptoms such as hypervigilance, intrusive memories, anxiety, mood instability, and emotional distress while supporting clients in rebuilding a sense of safety and control. When appropriate, I integrate medication management with supportive therapy and coping strategies to promote healing, resilience, and long-term emotional recovery.

Carter Doyle
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, PMHNP-BC, EMT-P
Trauma shows up in the body, in relationships, and in the stories we tell about ourselves. I specialize in trauma and PTSD, including complex trauma, spiritual/religious harm, and SOGICE-related experiences. Using Internal Family Systems (IFS), EMDR-informed and other trauma-responsive approaches, we move at your nervous system’s pace to reduce triggers, shame, and dysregulation so you can live from your core Self again. This space is LGBTQ+ affirming.

PTSD/Trauma
Shannon Gorres
Life Coach, MDiv, MA
My understanding of trauma has shifted along with international research on why some events create lasting challenging effects for some people but not for others. Our collective awareness has gone from thinking, “What's wrong with you?” to asking, “What happened to you?” and now focusing on, “Who was there for you?”
A simple retelling of a traumatic experience does not always deeply heal the one who suffers. While it can feel good to be truly heard, especially for those who have never told it before and need real empathy, repeatedly telling the story does not often change the subconscious beliefs implanted during the trauma or the nervous system’s reactivity.
Instead, we build a new relationship with a traumatic experience by re-approaching the memory and inviting a shift. Often the shift is around “Who could have been there for you.” While in factual reality, no one may have stopped the trauma, we can access another perspective that enables our bodies, hearts, and minds to feel supported. We can do this many ways: through role play, through calling in ancestors or pop stars or our highest selves, or by letting our wise adult-self take over the situation. Or we may use drawing materials or nature to discover a new part of the experience we didn’t realize before.
I've taken many trainings in the origins and effects of trauma and PTSD, and I find working with the nervous system and imaginal realm (creative liminal space) highly effective. I'm not a licensed mental health therapist; I'm a spiritual life coach, so my work is integrative. I offer: calm spaciousness & empathy as you talk, embodied processing options (drawing, clay work, self soothing), and inner parts work (mediated inner dialogue or a “committee of voices,” similar to Soulwork or Internal Family Systems).
Then we make a plan to implement the new shift into everyday life.

PTSD/Trauma
Dr. Mona E Stribling
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Most of us will experience trauma at some point in our lives, whether from an accident, a disaster, an assault, abuse, war, or the loss or death of a loved one.
While many people recover from trauma over time with the support of family and friends, many others have lasting effects and feel deep emotional pain, fear, and confusion long after the event happened.
Post-traumatic stress can be extremely debilitating, as you continue to relive the experience. It can also leave you feeling very isolated, as very well-meaning people don’t understand what you have been and continue to go through. But it is important that you know you are definitely not alone and that there is help.
A number of evidence-supported therapies have shown to significantly improve post-traumatic stress and the quality of life. Beyond healing, many people find a strength and sense of meaning and purpose that they may otherwise not have discovered. I have specialized training and extensive experience in treating trauma/PTSD, and I’m confident that together we will help you heal, and with hard work even grow and thrive beyond your trauma.

PTSD/Trauma
Aaron Kapin
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
From the perspective of Somatic Experiencing, trauma isn't the thing that happened 15 years ago (or last week), it's the ongoing effects that that incident continues to have on your body.
We can work together to figure out how your body is still reacting to that incident, and work to help your body 'catch up' to the present moment. If you're safer now than you were then, there are ways we can help your body 'complete' the threat response from so long ago, and land in the comparative safety of the present moment.
I can't treat PTSD, so if you've been diagnosed with PTSD you should still work with a licensed mental health professional, even as you work with me. What I can do is support your body in turning down the volume on that threatened feeling that has been coming up since the trauma-inducing events.

Dr Jody Eiser
Therapist, Doctorate in Psychology
Trauma is not only about what has happened, but how the mind and body have adapted in order to survive. Through a trauma-informed lens and a focus on trauma endurance, I work with the patterns that develop in response to these experiences, patterns that often continue to shape how you relate, cope, and experience yourself. Together, we support gradual, meaningful, and lasting change.

MindOverHealing Therapies
Hypnotherapist, CHt
Hypnotherapy can be instrumental in addressing trauma and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Trauma often leaves deep emotional scars that manifest as anxiety, flashbacks, nightmares, and heightened stress responses. Traditional therapeutic approaches may not always reach these deeply embedded issues, but hypnotherapy offers a unique avenue to access and heal the subconscious mind where trauma is often stored. Furthermore, hypnotherapy can help individuals build positive coping mechanisms and resilience. Techniques such as guided imagery and positive suggestion can instill a sense of safety and empowerment, replacing the negative emotions tied to traumatic events.

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.

Jay Shaw
Hypnotherapist, CHt (Certified Hypnotherapist)
Unresolved trauma doesn't stay in the past it runs in the background of every decision, relationship, and stress response you have today. Identity 2.0 hypnotherapy works to neutralize the subconscious charge attached to past events, reducing triggers and rebuilding a nervous system baseline that isn't controlled by what happened before. This isn't about reliving the pain. It's about removing its authority over your present identity.

Soma Aloia, SoulWork Somatics & Somatic Counseling
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LCST, HES
Complex trauma and CPTSD stem from more than just events in our adult years. These are usually foundational from early developmental trauma and childhood trauma, and can be worked with and healed at any age.
Trauma is not only what happened to you. It is also how those experiences continue to live within the body and nervous system long after events have passed. Using a gentle, body-centered approach, we'll work at a pace that feels safe - restoring connection, resilience, and the freedom to live more fully in the present.
Therapy helps restore safety, connection, and the capacity to move forward without remaining organized around survival. You will learn how to reparent the little ones inside and have an easier relationship with yourself and your body.
