Zena Caputo
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Whether you’ve experienced a single, terrible event, a pattern of mistreatment or abuse, or even long-standing difficult and painful relationships with parents, the impact on you doesn’t have to remain so heavy. I have training in several research-informed approaches, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), an evidence-based, extensively researched therapy that offers a different approach to treatment by engaging your brain’s natural healing process.

Dr. Jadah Petty

Trauma is an experience that can impact nearly every aspect of someone's life, from relationships/trust, to work, to self-esteem, to mood and the list goes on. Finding someone who specializes in trauma/PTSD is essential to truly getting the help you need. I offer the gold standard treatments for PTSD (e.g. Cognitive Processing Therapy and Prolonged Exposure), as well as treatments like EMDR and STAIR. Building a strong relationship is the first step to help you on your journey to re-engaging in the life you want to lead. I will then help you process your trauma, understand triggers, and develop new coping strategies for managing.

PTSD/Trauma
Jason Holland
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Trauma can leave your mind and body stuck in survival mode, even long after the event. We start by building steadiness and a sense of safety in daily life, then work at a manageable pace to reduce the ways the past is showing up in the present. My goal is to help you regain control, rebuild trust in yourself, and move forward with a life that is not defined by what happened.

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.

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.

Natalie A Shafer
Counselor/Therapist, MA, NCC, LPC
Trauma often sits at the core of many emotional and relational challenges, shaping how we experience ourselves, others, and the world. It’s natural for the body and mind to respond to reminders of past experiences as if they are still happening. I work with you to gently process and rework these experiences, so they feel more integrated and rooted in the past rather than the present.

Beck Gardner
Pre-Licensed Professional, M.A.
Trauma can have surprising and destabilizing impacts on so many areas of one's life. Understandably so, because it can be scary and painful to talk about, it can often go unexplored, hiding the ways in which it's impacted a person. I work with folks to provide a space where we attempt to understand traumatic experiences they've been through and the various ways that trauma has impacted them.

Susan Spicer
Psychologist, PhD
My background as a licensed psychologist and a trauma survivor uniquely positions me to offer compassionate and effective support to individuals who have experienced trauma, whether it be abandonment or physical, emotional, or sexual abuse. My personal journey through trauma has given me firsthand insight into the complex and often challenging process of healing. This, combined with my education and professional experience, enables me to approach therapy with deep empathy, understanding, and a genuine connection to my clients' experiences. I believe in the power of resilience and the potential for growth in the face of adversity, and I am dedicated to helping survivors on their path to recovery and empowerment.
With EMDR as my primary treatment modality, I bring a wealth of experience and expertise in guiding individuals towards trauma healing. My approach focuses on collaboratively identifying trauma targets for processing while also prioritizing resourcing techniques to reestablish a sense of safety and inner peace. Through EMDR therapy, I help clients transform the way traumatic memories are stored in the brain, ultimately freeing them from flashbacks, nightmares, and avoidance patterns associated with trauma. My commitment is to support individuals on their journey to reclaim their lives and find lasting relief from the effects of trauma.

PTSD/Trauma
Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
For more than 33 years, I’ve worked with adults whose lives have been shaped by experiences that were overwhelming, prolonged, or carried alone for a long time. Many are thoughtful, highly responsible people who have learned to keep going, even when something inside feels stuck, numb, or on edge.
This often includes early family dynamics that were never named as “trauma,” but still live in your body and relationships. When these kinds of experiences are ongoing or rooted in early life, they are often described as complex trauma, C‑PTSD, or developmental trauma.
Difficult or frightening experiences can also arise from single incidents or periods of crisis, such as medical trauma, accidents, or other shocks. These experiences may or may not meet criteria for PTSD, but they can still leave a lasting imprint.
These experiences can influence how you understand yourself, how you move through relationships, and how your nervous system responds to daily life. You may notice changes in mood, concentration, or energy. Some people feel constantly on alert, others shut down, and many move between the two. For some, there is a clear “before and after” in their life; for others, there is a quieter sense of having experienced more than most people realize.
In our work together, we focus on building safety and softening the impact of trauma, including PTSD and C‑PTSD, on your daily life. We pay close attention to how it impacts your body, nervous system, and relationships and to the patterns and roles that once helped you cope but may now feel limiting or costly. We move at a pace that respects your capacity and what feels possible right now, with an emphasis on choice and partnership throughout the process.

Cindy Yu
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
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.
