Gemstone Wellness, Inc.
Psychologist, PsyD, LCPC, LCSW, LPC
At Gemstone Wellness, trauma is understood not as something that simply “happened in the past,” but as something that continues to live in the body, the nervous system, and the way you move through the world. We approach trauma with the recognition that your responses—whether anxiety, numbness, hypervigilance, or shutdown—are not dysfunctions, but adaptive strategies your system developed to survive.
Our work is deeply trauma-informed and grounded in nervous system regulation. Rather than pushing you to revisit painful experiences before you’re ready, we prioritize safety, trust, and pacing. Therapy begins with building a relationship where you feel genuinely seen and supported, allowing your system to settle enough for deeper work to unfold. From there, we gently help you process what you’ve been carrying so it no longer holds the same intensity or control over your present life.
We integrate approaches such as Trauma Focused CBT and relational, insight-oriented therapy to support healing without re-traumatization. The goal is not to erase your past, but to help you relate to it differently—so memories can be held without overwhelming your body, and triggers no longer dictate your reactions.
Throughout this process, therapy remains collaborative and attuned. You are never rushed, pushed, or expected to move faster than your system allows. Over time, many clients begin to feel a shift: less reactivity, more presence, a greater sense of safety in their body, and a reconnection to themselves and others.
Trauma therapy at Gemstone Wellness is not about forcing change—it is about creating the conditions where healing can happen naturally, at a pace that honors what you’ve been through.

What an honor it is to be a supportive companion on your path to deeper wellness!

* Are survivors of complex trauma, interpersonal, generational and/or collective trauma

Anne Zakaras
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC, ATR-BC, PMH-C
Trauma changes how we experience the world, often leaving the body in a state of constant hyper-vigilance, anxiety, or emotional numbness. Anne provides a deeply safe, predictable, and collaborative space to help you gently process past experiences and reclaim your sense of safety. As a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, she utilizes a trauma-informed, integrative approach to help individuals unpack the impact of relational trauma, adverse life events, and systemic stress without forcing them to re-live the pain.
Because trauma is often stored deep within the nervous system where words cannot easily reach, Anne’s approach goes beyond traditional talk therapy. She pairs evidence-based trauma practices with Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and art therapy. These somatic and creative tools allow clients to safely externalize and process traumatic memories, somatic tension, and overwhelming emotions at their own pace. Whether you are healing from childhood trauma, navigating the heavy weight of grief and bereavement, coping with the trauma of a medical diagnosis, or processing birth and reproductive trauma, Anne is dedicated to helping you move from survival to genuine, deep-rooted healing.

Shawna Stillwell
Marriage and Family Therapist, IMFT-S
Trauma has a way of living in the body and shaping the way we see ourselves and other long after the vents themselves have passed. Using Internal Family Systems (IFS), I help clients approach their trauma gently and at their own pace, without having to relive or force anything. The goal is not just to cope, but to genuinely heal, and I'm in it for the long-run.

Dr. JD Wright
Psychologist, PhD, Licensed Psychologist
When working with trauma I pull from EMDR, somatic approaches, and parts work. A primary goal of the work is to reduce shame and self-judgments, and for you to feel like you can understand and provide compassion to yourself. Through those processes, trauma can be transformed and your experience of yourself and those around you naturally reshaped.

PSYCHe, PLLC
Psychologist, PhD, DBT-LBC™, LPC, PsyD, MSW, Marriage and Family Counselor, LCSW
Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can develop from being exposed to a wide variety of traumatic events such as motor vehicle crashes, home accidents, sexual assault, domestic violence, or being involved in a natural disaster. As the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-V) describes it, PTSD happens after “being witness to or being exposed to situations involving threatened or actual serious physical harm or death.” But it’s important to keep in mind that experiencing a trauma doesn’t mean a person will absolutely develop PTSD.

Best Therapies, Inc.
Therapist
There are three main types of trauma: Acute, Chronic, or Complex. Acute trauma results from a single incident. Chronic trauma is repeated and prolonged such as domestic violence or abuse. Complex trauma is exposure to varied and multiple traumatic events, often of an invasive, interpersonal nature. Sometimes people experience post traumatic responses to adverse childhood experiences, a single event or living as marginalized identities in our society. That is, some people experience trauma response by dealing with recurring microaggressions, discrimination, bullying from individuals, communities and macro aggressions such as systemic oppression. We need to consider the impact traumatic experiences have on our mind, body and overall experience as a human navigating uncertain and challenging times.

Brandon Guin
Marriage and Family Therapist, PhD, LMFT
Traumatic experiences can leave us paralyzed and pessimistic about our future. It doesn't have to be that way. I have training in using EMDR, an evidenced-based approach to treating trauma and PTSD. This approach helps the mind and body process what has happened while decreasing the risk of re-traumatizating the individual. In this manner, the individual is able to access internal and external supports and resources for the mind and body that may not have been available during the traumatic event or events.
