Carolyn Murphy, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Counseling Psychology
I have many years of experience helping clients who have experienced physical, emotional, and/or sexual trauma, particularly in their childhood. My approach to therapy is interactive and supportive, with an overall goal of increasing self-awareness and coping skills to help promote the kind of changes that you would like to see. I believe that the quality of the therapist/client relationship is paramount to our work together, and because of this I highly encourage you to choose a therapist that feels like a "good fit" for you. I always start with an initial consultation appointment where I can learn more about your background and reasons for seeking therapy, answer any questions you may have, and then plan together from there. Starting therapy can feel daunting or overwhelming for many people, so it is important that we work at a pace that feels comfortable to you.

I work with individuals carrying the weight of past trauma, painful relationships, and experiences that still live in the body as anxiety, numbness, or feeling constantly on guard. I bring compassion and relief to the places that feel stuck or overwhelmed. . My goal is to offer a steady, caring space where you don’t have to do it alone and where healing becomes possible not just in your mind, but in your body and relationships too.

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.

Tim Jenkins
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC
Painful memory and trauma can be very difficult things to overcome. They can rewire our brain's reward system and highjack our sleep, appetite and balance. At times to correct this, we have to re-experience traumatic events, but live them differently this time around. You need support, kindness and understanding to go though this. Just do not go though it alone.

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.

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.
