PTSD/Trauma
Elizabeth Hammond
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
Trauma—whether from a specific event, religious upbringing, or the systemic "small t" traumas of living in a marginalized body—lives in the nervous system. When we’ve experienced trauma, our bodies often stay in a state of high alert, making it difficult to feel safe or present. I use a polyvagal-informed approach to help you understand your body’s unique stress responses. Together, we work to move you out of "fight, flight, or freeze" and into a place of groundedness, where you can finally process the past without being held captive by it.

Kerline Theodore
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
I specialize in working with adults experiencing trauma and PTSD, including high-functioning, high-achieving individuals who may appear “put together” on the outside but feel overwhelmed internally. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and integrate trauma-informed, attachment-focused approaches to help clients process overwhelming experiences and understand how past events impact emotions, relationships, and daily functioning.
In a safe and supportive space, we work to identify triggers, process difficult memories, and build emotional regulation and nervous system stability. My approach emphasizes self-compassion, resilience, and empowerment—helping you move out of survival mode.

PTSD/Trauma
Beth Kurland
Psychologist, Ph.D.
When traumatic things happen in our past, sometimes these memories are not fully processed, and they get stored in our brain and nervous system as unprocessed events. Because the brain and nervous system act in the service of survival and protection first, these unprocessed memories can continue to impact our current behaviors and can keep us feeling stuck in our lives. If you're struggling with recurrent, stuck patterns that may be connected to situations from your past, we can work with a modality called EMDR to help you reprocess old memories and experience healing, resilience and freedom and flexibility to move forward in renewing ways.

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.

Soma Aloia, SoulWork Somatics & Somatic Counseling
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LCST, HES
Complex trauma and CPTSD stem from more than just events in our adult years. These are usually foundational from early developmental trauma and childhood trauma, and can be worked with and healed at any age.
Trauma is not only what happened to you. It is also how those experiences continue to live within the body and nervous system long after events have passed. Using a gentle, body-centered approach, we'll work at a pace that feels safe - restoring connection, resilience, and the freedom to live more fully in the present.
Therapy helps restore safety, connection, and the capacity to move forward without remaining organized around survival. You will learn how to reparent the little ones inside and have an easier relationship with yourself and your body.

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.

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.
