Ashley Pinto
Therapist, LCPC, CCTP
Trauma isn’t necessarily something that happens to you—it’s what happens inside you as a result of an overwhelming experience. It can leave the body stuck in survival mode, the mind cut off from its natural rhythms, and a person disconnected from their true self. It can show up as tension, emotional overwhelm, feeling numb, or reacting to everyday situations as if the danger is still present. While trauma affects both the body and the brain, the good news is that healing is possible. Approaches that help people reconnect with their bodies, understand their emotional and relational patterns, and restore a sense of safety can gradually release old survival responses and rebuild a felt sense of wholeness and resilience.
Trauma can impact us following a single incident (e.g., a car accident, attack, or medical procedure) or ongoing patterns of abuse, neglect, never feeling seen and heard by caregivers. Without adequate resources or treatment, the effects can linger long past the experience. Through integrative somatic trauma therapy, I help women develop a deeper understanding of their internal responses and expand their capacity to engage with life more fully. Together, we will work toward greater clarity, connection, and the ability to move forward in ways that feel more grounded, intentional, and aligned with who you truly are.
I no longer offer weekly insurance-based 53 minute sessions. After a decade of seeing clients under this model, I've shifted my practice to private pay customized services that better meet the needs of my niche clients. My customized Therapy Intensives are specially designed to offer you a more a more spacious, efficient, and streamlined for a deeper and more transformative experience. They are intended to be short-term and can serve as an adjunct to ongoing therapy with your already established therapist, such as in the case that you really enjoy the work you are doing with them but they do not specialize in an area that I do. I also offer monthly extended sessions (90 minutes to 2 hours) for those looking for a hybrid option, that allows for deeper work as well as ongoing support.

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.

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.

Danielle Keys at Headway
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, M.S.ED, LCPC
Trauma is sometimes unknown or related to a specific event in one's life. During the assessment, you'll be asked specific questions in order to capture if there is trauma known in your life. Sometimes trauma is carried around through no fault of the client, however, the client has to choose to do something about it. I use Person-Centered, Dialectical Behavior, or Trauma-Focused CBT approaches with clients. The goal is to help client's express themselves without judgement, to be heard, validated, and encouraged to make choices to minimize and accept certain types of distress.

Matthew Syzdek
Psychologist, PhD, LP, MBA
If you feel on edge, anxious, irritable, can't relax, or struggle to trust people, there is a path forward towards a more fulfilling life. Don't gamble when choosing a therapist. You deserve a psychologist who will adapt the best science to your specific needs and goals. Many therapists themselves are burned out and can't give the best care to their clients. Dr Syzdek built a small boutique practice where he limits the number of clients he treats, so he can give his clients the time, thought, and dedication that they deserve. Dr Syzdek combines compassion with the science of behavior change to help you make the the difficult decisions in life and take action, so you can live a happier life, thrive at work, love your relationships, and have fun again. Dr Syzdek treats trauma and related conditions typically using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and exposure therapies. These approaches combine mindfulness, acceptance, and cognitive strategies to help you live your life again and find relief from the the struggle.

Hannah Muetzelfeld
Psychologist, PhD
I specialize in Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), an evidence-based treatment for PTSD and trauma-related symptoms. CPT helps individuals process and reframe unhelpful beliefs related to their trauma, allowing them to regain a sense of safety, trust, and control in their lives. I work collaboratively with clients to adaptively apply this modality to each unique case.

PTSD/Trauma
Lenny Gallo
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Trauma isn’t just about what happened—it’s about how your nervous system responded. When trauma remains unresolved, it can show up as anxiety, shame, anger, numbness, flashbacks, sleep disturbance, relationship struggles, or chronic tension. Even long after the event is over, your body may still feel stuck in survival mode.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a powerful, evidence-based therapy that helps your brain process traumatic experiences so they no longer carry the same emotional intensity. Rather than reliving the past, EMDR helps your system integrate it—so it stops disrupting your present.
Healing doesn’t mean forgetting. It means loosening trauma’s grip so you can feel safer, more grounded, and more like yourself again.
When appropriate, we may integrate other approaches such as IFS or talk therapy—but EMDR is often the foundation of trauma treatment in my practice.
