Christopher McDowell, PsyD
Psychologist, PsyD
I have extensive experience treating children, adolescents, and adults for PTSD and trauma. I performed most of this work with families in the impoverished areas of Boston while I was with The Home for Little Wanderers Counseling Center. I would estimate that over 70% of my cases, during this eight-year job, were children and adolescents who were struggling with PTSD.

Dawn McCarthy
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
When you are living with the aftermath of trauma or PTSD, the past never truly feels like it’s in the past. Whether you are navigating childhood neglect, relational trauma, or a specific life-shattering event, trauma remodels both the brain and the body—leaving you trapped in a state of hypervigilance, emotional numbness, or chronic anxiety. I specialize in helping individuals safely process these painful experiences and reclaim their lives. Moving beyond traditional talk therapy, I utilize advanced, evidence-based brain-body modalities like EMDR and Brainspotting to access and gently release trauma stored deep within the nervous system. By pairing these techniques with Internal Family Systems (IFS), we honor the protective parts of you that helped you survive, while finally healing the root wounds. You don't have to carry the weight of what happened to you forever; together, we can help your nervous system find genuine safety and lasting peace.

Kristy Harrington
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
If you've experienced trauma in the context of relationships, I can help you understand how it impacted you as it occurred, how it continues to impact you in adulthood and to develop strategies to manage that impact in a productive and healthy way. I approach working with trauma starting with the inquiry of "what happened to you?", instead of the common inquiry of "what's wrong with you?". Self-awareness, self-compassion and healthy coping and relationship skills can support you in living a satisfying life after experiencing trauma.

Aaron Kapin
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
From the perspective of Somatic Experiencing, trauma isn't the thing that happened 15 years ago (or last week), it's the ongoing effects that that incident continues to have on your body.
We can work together to figure out how your body is still reacting to that incident, and work to help your body 'catch up' to the present moment. If you're safer now than you were then, there are ways we can help your body 'complete' the threat response from so long ago, and land in the comparative safety of the present moment.
I can't treat PTSD, so if you've been diagnosed with PTSD you should still work with a licensed mental health professional, even as you work with me. What I can do is support your body in turning down the volume on that threatened feeling that has been coming up since the trauma-inducing events.

Shawna Stillwell
Marriage and Family Therapist, IMFT-S
Trauma has a way of living in the body and shaping the way we see ourselves and other long after the vents themselves have passed. Using Internal Family Systems (IFS), I help clients approach their trauma gently and at their own pace, without having to relive or force anything. The goal is not just to cope, but to genuinely heal, and I'm in it for the long-run.

Tenikka Denard
Counselor/Therapist, MA, LCMHC
Unfortunately terrible things happen that open the door for trauma to enter our lives. Trauma can feel frightening and paralyzing. It can interfere with your ability to regulate your mood, connect with yourself or others, and engage in normal physical functioning. I provide trauma focused care to help survivors live beyond their past traumas. In my practice I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and yoga practices to help individuals recover from trauma. Additionally, I am certified to use Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to treat trauma in children and adolescents. Let's connect and explore if my approach is a good fit for your healing.

Shauna Farabaugh
Life Coach, Certified Somatic Sex Educator, Board Certified Sexologist, Certified TRE provider
I am a certified Tension and Trauma Releasing Exercises (TRE) practitioner, offering sessions in person or online. TRE can be a great adjunct to other therapies or a primary modality for addressing shock trauma, chronic stress, and compassion fatigue. TRE® accesses the body's inherent mechanism of shaking or vibrating to discharge long held stress and activation. Since we work directly with the nervous system, it is possible to experience relief from symptoms without ever talking about the source of trauma or stress. And once you learn how to self-regulate the technique, you can access it on your own as an ongoing self-care practice, enjoying increased benefits over time without the cost of ongoing appointments. Questions? Curious if TRE is right for you? Contact me today for your FREE consultation.

Alana Morazzini
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I work with a healing approach called Internal Family Systems (IFS), which gently explores the different "parts" of you that have been shaped by past experiences. This work is especially meaningful for those who have navigated relational trauma or PTSD — and for anyone who simply wants a safe, compassionate space to make sense of their story and move toward healing.

Trauma doesn’t happen in isolation—it’s shaped by relationships, community, and larger social systems. I work with individuals to understand the personal and systemic impacts of trauma and PTSD, including historical, cultural, and structural oppression. Together, we focus on reclaiming safety, resilience, and agency while navigating the complex ways trauma shows up in the body, mind, and relationships.

Mary Mesiha
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
If you’ve experienced trauma, it can leave a lasting impact—sometimes in ways that are hard to put into words. You might feel anxious, disconnected, or easily overwhelmed, even when things seem “fine” on the outside.
In therapy, we’ll create a safe and supportive space where you can begin to make sense of your experiences at your own pace. Together, we’ll focus on helping you feel more grounded, regain a sense of stability, and move toward healing in a way that feels manageable and respectful of your process.

Jennifer Masters
Life Coach, Ba Psychology, CF Thanatology, D Kessler – Grief Grief Coach Certif,M Devine – Grief Coach Certif
Traumatic grief can happen when a death is sudden, unexpected, violent, unexplained, or impossible to make sense of. This may include losses connected to suicide, overdose, accidents, homicide, sudden medical events, or deaths where the cause or circumstances feel unclear. Any death can feel traumatic, but traumatic grief often carries an extra layer of shock because the person was here, and then suddenly they were not.
I support adults navigating traumatic grief, including the fear, confusion, anger, guilt, unanswered questions, looping thoughts, and emotional overwhelm that can follow this kind of loss. When a death feels random, preventable, unclear, or deeply unfair, the mind often tries to search for reasons, blame, facts, or something that will make the loss feel less unbearable.
As a certified grief coach, I help clients understand why traumatic grief can feel different from other grief experiences. I acknowledge and normalize what they are thinking and feeling, explain these reactions in plain language, and offer practical tools to help manage triggers, intrusive thoughts, overwhelm, guilt, anger, and the search for answers after a traumatic or unclear death.

Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC-S, LMHC
Trauma symptoms include: flashbacks, sleep troubles, negative beliefs about yourself, feeling unsafe, dissociation, hypervigilence, and more. Trauma symptoms can arise from moments of danger or threats to safety, or moments in childhood that caused great emotional distress. EMDR and IFS can be helpful in addressing these memories and helping your brain and body feel safe again.
