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.

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.

Nicole Houde
Pre-Licensed Professional
I work with individuals experiencing trauma and PTSD by providing a safe, supportive, and trauma-informed space to process difficult experiences at a pace that feels manageable. Trauma can impact thoughts, emotions, relationships, and the sense of safety in the world, and may show up as anxiety, hypervigilance, intrusive memories, or emotional numbing. In therapy, I use Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) to help identify and work through unhelpful beliefs related to the trauma, along with supporting coping skills and emotional regulation. The focus is on reducing the ongoing impact of trauma, strengthening resilience, and helping you move forward with a greater sense of safety, control, and self-understanding.

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.

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.

Sarah Eisenhauer Counseling
Counselor/Therapist, LCMHC, LCPC, LPC, AADC
If you struggle with complex PTSD and/or developmental trauma, I can work with you to move past not only the symptoms you likely struggle with in every day life, but also accompany you on a path of self discovery. For most individuals who have trauma, living in survival mode means we do not get a chance to tend to our own identity and create the life that we want. I believe you can manage difficult symptoms and discover your true self, living in alignment with who you feel you truly are. I utilize behavioral techniques (CBT, DBT, ACT) as well as a depth, psychodynamic approach.

Trauma doesn’t happen in isolation—it’s shaped by relationships, community, and larger social systems.

I provide a grounded, compassionate space to help you understand your nervous system, process painful memories at a pace that feels safe, and rebuild a sense of trust in yourself and others. Using evidence based approaches like CBT and mindfulness‑based strategies, along with faith integrated support for clients who desire it, we work together to reduce triggers, strengthen emotional regulation, and create lasting healing. You don’t have to navigate trauma alone — recovery is possible, and you deserve support that honors both your story and your strength.

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.

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.

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.
