PTSD/Trauma
Jason Holland
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Trauma can leave your mind and body stuck in survival mode, even long after the event. We start by building steadiness and a sense of safety in daily life, then work at a manageable pace to reduce the ways the past is showing up in the present. My goal is to help you regain control, rebuild trust in yourself, and move forward with a life that is not defined by what happened.

Sara Deese
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MA, MCAP, LMHC-QS
Trauma can leave lasting imprints—but healing is possible. If you find yourself stuck in patterns of fear, anxiety, or emotional overwhelm, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) can help you process those painful memories and regain a sense of peace. I specialize in trauma-informed care using EMDR to support individuals in moving beyond past experiences and reclaiming their lives.

Sharon Davern MSED, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed in Minnesota, Tennessee
Trauma and PTSD should only be treated by someone who has extensive experience with it. I spent many years working with people who have suffered trauma and developed PTSD. I rely on an approach called Prolonged Exposure therapy which does not mean that you are actively exposed to the source of your trauma but rather we work through these issues both in looking at the trauma and in what ways it has affected your life.

Alignment Psychotherapy, PLLC
Psychologist, LP, PhD
Dr. Sypher is highly experienced in Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), an evidence-based treatment for Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). CPT is designed to help individuals process and make sense of traumatic experiences by identifying and challenging unhelpful beliefs that can develop in the aftermath of trauma. Through a structured and collaborative approach, Dr. Sypher supports clients in examining how trauma has impacted their thoughts about themselves, others, and the world, and in developing more balanced and adaptive perspectives. This work can lead to meaningful reductions in symptoms such as intrusive memories, avoidance, guilt, shame, and hypervigilance. With a focus on both clinical expertise and compassionate care, Dr. Sypher helps clients move toward recovery, regain a sense of control, and reconnect with their lives in a more grounded and empowered way.

New Leaf Counseling and Wellness

Treating trauma and PTSD requires a comprehensive and compassionate approach that prioritizes safety, trust, and empowerment. Drawing from evidence-based therapies such as cognitive processing therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), and somatic experiencing, I work with clients to process and integrate traumatic memories in a supportive therapeutic environment. Through psychoeducation, skill-building, and experiential techniques, I help clients regain a sense of control over their lives while addressing symptoms such as hypervigilance, flashbacks, and avoidance. My specialized expertise enables me to tailor treatment to each individual's unique needs, fostering healing, resilience, and a renewed sense of hope for the future.

PTSD/Trauma
Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
For more than 33 years, I’ve worked with adults whose lives have been shaped by experiences that were overwhelming, prolonged, or carried alone for a long time. Many are thoughtful, highly responsible people who have learned to keep going, even when something inside feels stuck, numb, or on edge.
This often includes early family dynamics that were never named as “trauma,” but still live in your body and relationships. When these kinds of experiences are ongoing or rooted in early life, they are often described as complex trauma, C‑PTSD, or developmental trauma.
Difficult or frightening experiences can also arise from single incidents or periods of crisis, such as medical trauma, accidents, or other shocks. These experiences may or may not meet criteria for PTSD, but they can still leave a lasting imprint.
These experiences can influence how you understand yourself, how you move through relationships, and how your nervous system responds to daily life. You may notice changes in mood, concentration, or energy. Some people feel constantly on alert, others shut down, and many move between the two. For some, there is a clear “before and after” in their life; for others, there is a quieter sense of having experienced more than most people realize.
In our work together, we focus on building safety and softening the impact of trauma, including PTSD and C‑PTSD, on your daily life. We pay close attention to how it impacts your body, nervous system, and relationships and to the patterns and roles that once helped you cope but may now feel limiting or costly. We move at a pace that respects your capacity and what feels possible right now, with an emphasis on choice and partnership throughout the process.

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.

Allison Gildner
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LPCC, PMH-C
Trauma is one of my top specialties. I often work with clients who have experienced horrific events; I am inspired by their ability to survive and move forward with such experiences. Yet, I know that trauma can have a lifelong impact. You may have experienced trauma years ago that continues to haunt you, or perhaps recently you endured something unexpected that has left you reeling and living a reality you never prepared for. Whatever the situation, I am prepared to work with you through the trauma to regain a sense of control, restore peace, and move forward with confidence.

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.

Developmental trauma stems from early childhood abuse from a trusted caregiver, usually repeated over time. Sensorimotor Psychotherapy and Trauma-Informed Stabilization Treatment are particularly helpful in helping clients heal from these disorders.

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.

Karen Baumstark, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., CMHIMP, CTACC
None of us can escape some level of trauma; inevitably, it will be a part of life. How much it affects us, however, depends on many factors including the nervous system we were born with, our outer resources, and how much relational support we receive to help us recover from the trauma. Many people do not have access to adequate resources to help them recover from trauma (and this is very subjective and personal, varying from person to person), and the trauma continues to affect them in (sometimes subtle, but still) impactful ways. If certain factors come together, PTSD may develop out of trauma. Often clients feel like they have failed because they can't completely "get over" their PTSD reactions. I have often reminded clients that PTSD is "the gift that keeps on giving". It can be very hard, perhaps impossible, to completely eradicate PTSD reactions, because the reaction is not just of the mind, it is of the whole body. My approach to helping clients with trauma and PTSD involves looking at it holistically and working to understand how the trauma changed you, your reaction across many facets of your life (thoughts, feelings, habits, behaviors, self-care or lack thereof, expectations, how you view the world), and then working on replacing what is harmful with what is helpful. The goal isn't to completely get rid of the PTSD symptoms (which is likely impossible) but rather to dramatically reduce its effect on you, so you can live your best life, and so an occasional symptom breaking through will not derail you.

Mike Kosim
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
I am here to tell you that you are enough. I can help you through EMDR and family-of-origin work to help uncover and rebuild the life patterns that may not be serving you well. Sometimes these patterns show up as Anxiety. Sometimes these patterns show up as depression. Sometimes you know or suspect you have post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Does it feel like sometimes you just keep looking for words describing what's wrong with you?
Diagnoses are not you. You're not broken. I can help you build the life you want to lead.
