Healing the Roots of Trauma
Whether you have experienced a single overwhelming event or years of chronic stress (complex trauma), we provide a safe, regulated environment where you can finally begin to process and release the weight of the past.
Our Specialized Trauma Tools
Traditional talk therapy can sometimes reach a plateau when it comes to trauma. That is why we utilize advanced, "bottom-up" neurological approaches that work directly with the brain’s survival centers:
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing): A gold-standard treatment that helps the brain "reprocess" traumatic memories so they no longer trigger intense emotional or physical pain.
Brainspotting: A powerful method that uses your field of vision to find where trauma is held in the subcortical brain, allowing for deep emotional release and healing.
DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy): Focuses on emotional regulation and distress tolerance, giving you the skills to manage "triggers" in your daily life.
Youth-Focused Trauma Care (Ages 10+): We use specialized interactive software to help children and teens express and process difficult experiences in a way that feels safe and manageable.
Our Collaborative Healing Process
We never rush the trauma process. You are the leader of your journey, and we are your expert guides.

Inner World Counseling Services PLLC
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
This is the big one—your absolute core specialty. For Trauma and PTSD, we want this description to be the definitive statement of your clinical expertise. It should speak directly to the reality of living with a dysregulated nervous system, Complex PTSD (CPTSD), and the survival habits (like over-functioning and fawning) that people develop just to get through the day.
Here are a few options that firmly establish your expertise and highlight your evidence-based tools:
Option 1: Full-Spectrum & Root-Cause Focused (Recommended)
"I specialize in helping adults heal from the profound, lasting impacts of trauma, PTSD, and Complex PTSD (CPTSD). Trauma fundamentally alters how your nervous system perceives safety, often leaving you trapped in a state of high alert, struggling with intrusive thoughts, or dealing with a relentless inner critic. I look beyond surface-level symptoms to address the root causes of your distress. Utilizing gold-standard, evidence-based trauma modalities—including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)—I provide a highly specialized, structured, yet deeply compassionate space. Together, we will gently process painful past experiences, dismantle the survival habits that keep you stuck, and help your brain and body finally find a true, lasting sense of safety

Counselor/Therapist, LPC
Healing from trauma is a complex process and requires a strong relationship with a therapist so that you feel safe enough to unpack your experiences and emotions. I offer a relational framework, focusing on validating your experience and discussing options you have for working through trauma to empower you to choose your own treatment. I use a variety of tools, including brainspotting and internal family systems, to help you learn how to regulate your nervous system and integrate past trauma experiences so they no longer have a hold on you and you can move forward in your life.

Chad T. Allen
Licensed Psychoanalyst, MA, LPCC
I am a psychoanalyst in private practice in the Minneapolis–St. Paul area, working with adults who have experienced trauma or continue to feel affected by overwhelming or distressing events. Trauma can shape emotional experience in ways that include anxiety, emotional numbing, intrusive memories, or difficulties with trust and safety in relationships.
My work is grounded in the belief that traumatic experiences require careful and respectful attention over time. Psychoanalytic psychotherapy provides a space to approach these experiences gradually, allowing individuals to develop understanding and meaning without pressure to revisit experiences before they feel ready. As the impact of trauma becomes more understandable, individuals often experience greater emotional stability and freedom in their relationships and daily lives.
I also work with couples when the effects of trauma influence intimacy or communication within the relationship.

Brent Peak
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is a powerful and efficient approach to healing trauma and PTSD, often bringing significant relief in just one session, with most clients needing no more than 3-5. Unlike traditional talk therapy, ART helps your brain rapidly process and reframe traumatic memories, so they no longer feel overwhelming or intrusive. You don’t have to relive the details of what happened—ART works gently and effectively to reduce distress, ease triggers, and restore a sense of calm. If you’re struggling with flashbacks, anxiety, or the lingering effects of trauma, ART can help you find lasting relief and move forward with confidence.
Trauma isn’t just something that happened in the past—it’s something your body and mind are still carrying. If you’ve experienced trauma, whether from childhood, relationships, or a specific event, you might feel stuck in patterns of fear, anxiety, or emotional numbness. Maybe you struggle with flashbacks, nightmares, or an inability to fully relax, as if your nervous system is constantly bracing for danger. Even when you try to move forward, certain triggers can bring the past rushing back, making it feel like it’s happening all over again. This isn’t just in your head—your brain has stored trauma in a way that keeps it feeling fresh and unresolved.
Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) helps your brain reprocess trauma so it no longer controls you. Unlike traditional therapy that requires talking about painful experiences over and over, ART works quickly to change how trauma is stored in the brain—without reliving the pain. In just a few sessions, ART can reduce the emotional intensity of traumatic memories, allowing you to move forward without being constantly triggered. Therapy isn’t about forgetting the past—it’s about breaking free from its grip, so you can feel safe, present, and in control of your life again. You don’t have to stay trapped in survival mode—healing is possible, and you deserve peace.

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.

Allen Wood
Psychologist, Psy.D.
As a psychologist specializing in the full range of trauma, I integrate Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) with Internal Family Systems (IFS) to reinforce a sense of safety, control, and worthiness. I draw upon the principles of Interpersonal Neurobiology to understand how our nervous system is forced to adapt in extreme and overwhelming situations, and how those adaptations can be reinforced or blocked by our relationships, internal conflicts, and past experiences. In our work together, you can expect a high level of collaboration, deeply compassionate understanding, and an abundance of metaphors as we tailor the therapy process to your needs, strengths, and situation.

Kristen Jackson Banister
Counselor/Therapist, M.A. LPC SEP
Trauma and PTSD can impact how you feel in your body, how you relate to others, and how safe the world feels. You may experience hypervigilance, shutdown, reactivity, or patterns that feel hard to change. My approach is somatic and trauma-informed, meaning we work gently with your nervous system to build a sense of safety, regulation, and capacity before processing deeper experiences. Healing happens at a pace that your body can sustain.

Peter Hoistad
Drug and Alcohol Counselor, LADC
This is the diagnosis that I have the most experience working with. I prefer meeting a client where they are at and what level of comfortability they are with sharing their traumatic experiences. If someone doesn't want to relive the past over and over again, then we can focus on the current and future to see how we can work together to lower the symptoms.
