Trauma occurs when someone experiences one or more events that threaten their physical, mental and/or emotional well-being. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is an anxiety disorder that is a direct consequence of experiencing trauma and can include flashbacks, nightmares, intrusive thoughts, avoidance of reminders of the trauma and mood disturbances. PTSD can be treated in a variety of ways including medication, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, Exposure Therapy, Emotional Freedom Technique (tapping), and mindfulness practices.

Catherine Quiring
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MA, LMHC, LPC, LCPC
I am skilled in helping people resolve trauma on a deep bodily level. IFS and EMDR are superb modalities to address trauma. You don't have to relive the trauma or delve into all the details. You just have to address what is still living in you day to day that feels unresolved.

Margo Tirado MA LCPC
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LCPC
Trauma and PTSD can leave lasting effects that show up in thoughts, emotions, and the body—often long after the original experience has passed. Many people feel stuck in patterns of fear, self-blame, or hypervigilance, even when they understand logically that they’re no longer in danger. In therapy, I offer a steady, compassionate space to make sense of these responses, helping you understand how trauma shaped both your beliefs about yourself and your sense of safety in the world.
My approach to trauma healing weaves together insight, somatic body-based practices, and Emotion-Focused Tapping (EFT). We work gently with the body to release stored stress while also addressing the beliefs that trauma leaves behind—such as feeling powerless, unsafe, or unworthy. True healing happens when both the mind and body are included in the process. Over time, clients often experience greater calm, self-trust, and a renewed sense of control, allowing life to feel more grounded, connected, and whole again.

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.

Joe Groninga
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) often creates very painful symptoms and is something for which I use a therapy called Prolonged Exposure (PE). In this therapy, we will revisit traumatic situations, process painful emotions, and change unhelpful beliefs about yourself and the world around you as a result of your trauma. People are often amazed at how quickly this treatment can work and by the very meaningful change that can result. For these reasons, this is one of my favorite treatments to provide.
