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.

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.

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.

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 symptoms include: flashbacks, sleep troubles, negative beliefs about yourself, feeling unsafe, dissociation, hypervigilence, and more.

EMDR and IFS can be helpful in addressing these memories and helping your brain and body feel safe again.

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.

Jay Shaw
Hypnotherapist, CHt (Certified Hypnotherapist)
Unresolved trauma doesn't stay in the past it runs in the background of every decision, relationship, and stress response you have today. Identity 2.0 hypnotherapy works to neutralize the subconscious charge attached to past events, reducing triggers and rebuilding a nervous system baseline that isn't controlled by what happened before. This isn't about reliving the pain. It's about removing its authority over your present identity.
