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.

PSYCHe, PLLC
Psychologist, PhD, DBT-LBC™, LPC, PsyD, MSW, Marriage and Family Counselor, LCSW
Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can develop from being exposed to a wide variety of traumatic events such as motor vehicle crashes, home accidents, sexual assault, domestic violence, or being involved in a natural disaster. As the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-V) describes it, PTSD happens after “being witness to or being exposed to situations involving threatened or actual serious physical harm or death.” But it’s important to keep in mind that experiencing a trauma doesn’t mean a person will absolutely develop PTSD.

Restoring authentic right connection to self in spite of trauma
In treating Trauma and PTSD, we use sandplay and somatic focusing to discharge survival energy that talk therapy often can't reach. We move at the pace of your nervous system, ensuring that the "Deep-Sea Diving" we do stays within your window of tolerance. Our goal is to move you from a state of constant surveillance to a state of prophetic peace.

I have experience working with those who have a history of trauma or a diagnosis of PTSD. I am compassionate and have a naturally calm demeanor that encourages clients to relax and open up. I will not pressure a client, but instead I listen and lead. There are many sources and types of trauma, and no two people are alike. Together we will explore the path to healing.

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.

Abelee Groff
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
I work with adults experiencing trauma and PTSD, helping clients process overwhelming experiences and understand how past events may affect their emotions, relationships, and daily functioning. I provide a safe, supportive space to explore triggers, navigate difficult memories, and build resilience.
I integrate trauma-informed, somatic, and parts-based approaches, as well as attachment-focused strategies, to support emotional regulation, nervous system stabilization, and self-compassion. Therapy emphasizes empowerment, safety, and gradual healing, helping clients reclaim a sense of control, stability, and connection with themselves and others.

Vida Mendez
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LICSW, EMDR II
Time doesn’t heal all wounds. You may have moved forward with your life, but still find yourself reacting in ways that don’t fully make sense—overthinking, shutting down, feeling on edge, or carrying emotional weight that never fully lifted.
Trauma can continue to affect how you feel and respond long after the experience is over. I help clients work through traumatic experiences so they no longer have the same hold on them. Using EMDR, we help the brain fully process what happened so it no longer carries the same emotional and physiological impact.

Root & Rise Clinical Specialists
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-R
Healing trauma requires approaches that reach beyond traditional talk therapy. At Root & Rise, we use modalities specifically designed to calm the nervous system, reprocess traumatic memories, and reduce the emotional and physiological intensity that keeps past events alive in the present. Our clinicians offer RTM (Reconsolidation of Traumatic Memories) for rapid relief from fear-based symptoms, EMDR to help the brain safely reprocess trauma and build adaptive beliefs, and EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) to release stored emotional and somatic tension. Each method targets trauma from a different angle, allowing us to tailor treatment to your symptoms, history, and level of readiness. Whether you’re dealing with acute trauma, chronic PTSD, or the long-term impact of neglect, abuse, or fear-based experiences, this integrative approach helps you feel safer, more regulated, and more in control of your life again.

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.

Trauma and PTSD varies from person to person. Each person experiences the same situation differently.

When the World Shatters, Healing Begins With Understanding
Trauma shakes everything—your sense of safety, your sense of self, your trust in the world. Your body responds in ways you might not expect, and suddenly life feels divided into “before” and “after.”
You’re not broken. You’re responding to something that broke your sense of safety.
In our work together, we’ll begin to make sense of what happened—not to erase it, but to integrate it. I offer a space to feel, to process, and to gently move toward acceptance and growth. You don’t have to go back to who you were. We’ll help you become who you are now.
You survived. Now let’s help you feel safe again.

Rachel Miller
Marriage and Family Therapist, PhD, LMFT
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.

Kerline Theodore

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.

Treatment Center, LCMHC
Scheduling at AYC is easy - schedule an intake as soon as next week. Finding the courage to be true to yourself despite the challenges you have to overcome is the ultimate goal of therapy. I believe one of the greatest grievances is living an inauthentic life with who you are. Regardless of what you’ve been through, if something is stopping you from living your truth - if fear prevents you from engaging in life the way you want or you are attempting to live up to some societal or personal expectation so far out of reach it hurts - If something is preventing you from living your fullest life, you can make a difference!
I want to help you reach your fullest potential according to your personal truth, values and beliefs. If we embark on this journey together, you will be the driver. I will simply help you see the different paths to reaching your end goal. In the end, you must be true to yourself in choosing the path you wish to take - or none at all.
Finding your truth sometimes means making a decision about whether or not to live your full truth. We can work together to help you explore your options to make the right choice for You. Making the call (or email) to start your journey is the first step - Let us start your journey together!
