Christine Highfill
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC-S
Trauma can leave lasting effects, whether from a single event or ongoing experiences. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) may show up as flashbacks, nightmares, hypervigilance, or feeling emotionally numb and disconnected. These symptoms can interfere with daily life, relationships, and your sense of safety in the world. In therapy, I provide a trauma-informed, compassionate space where healing is possible. Using approaches like EMDR, somatic techniques, and evidence-based trauma therapies, we’ll work together to reduce distress, restore a sense of calm, and help you reclaim your life with greater balance, resilience, and strength.

Dr. Kelsi Clayson
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Trauma has a way of showing up and persisting despite our efforts to keep it at bay. For some, it’s like a thorn that has settled into place and doesn’t hurt too badly as long as you focus your attention elsewhere. For others, it’s an unavoidable, constant source of pain, anger, and fear. Whether it happened recently or decades ago, trauma can take up valuable space in our lives. This may come in the form of unwanted memories, difficulty trusting others, feeling on edge, irritability, avoiding certain situations, or maybe all of the above. Unfortunately, efforts to avoid thinking about past traumatic events often keep people from seeking treatment and finding relief. Although challenging, addressing and resolving emotional wounds can be incredibly liberating and rewarding. Trauma treatment can positively shift the lens through which you see yourself, your relationships, and ultimately the world around you.

Nikita Pion-Klockner, Holistic Therapy, LLC
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LICSW, LCSW-C
Trauma can live in the body and nervous system long after an event has passed, showing up as anxiety, emotional numbness, hypervigilance, or feeling stuck in old patterns. I provide trauma-informed therapy that helps you gently process painful experiences while building safety, stability, and resilience. Our work focuses on restoring a sense of control, connection, and wholeness — at a pace that honors your nervous system and your story.

Mikela Hallmark
Therapist, MS, LPC, LMHC
Post-traumatic stress isn’t just about flashbacks or nightmares — it’s what happens when overwhelming experiences don’t get to complete their cycle. It’s a nervous system stuck in survival mode, long after the threat is gone. You might feel hyperaware, disconnected, emotionally numb, or easily triggered by things you can’t always explain.
I work with PTSD through a relational, trauma-informed lens that honors the intelligence of your coping strategies while helping you build new experiences of safety, connection, and choice. We don’t rush. We don’t retraumatize. We work gently, at your pace, with deep respect for the ways your body and mind have protected you.
Healing isn’t about forgetting what happened — it’s about reclaiming your sense of self outside of what happened. Together, we’ll create space for your story, your voice, and your right to feel fully alive again.

Jonathan Schmalz
Psychologist, PhD, HSP-P
A trauma-informed approach underlies all of my work as a therapist. I know that many clients come to therapy not specifically because of trauma, but because they feel lonely or inadequate, they are depressed or anxious, or just cannot seem to have the intimacy they crave. Sometimes acknowledging trauma comes later in the therapy work and that is okay. Just know that I trust that you will talk about it when you are ready.
I would like to join you in acknowledging how the past has affected your present and in charting a course to healing that works for you. You may wish to talk about particular pains from the past and you may wish to focus on the future. We will work together to find the balance that is right for you, so that you can live the life that you really want to live.

Taylor Allie
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC
You are not the experiences you've encountered, but sometimes it doesn't feel that way. I employ IFS techniques to help you better understand and compassionately reshape your relationship to each of the parts of you that make up the whole of who you are, including those intertwined with core memories that still elicit feelings of grief, resentment, or frustration.
