Hypnotherapist, Diploma in Clinical and Applied Hypnosis, Diploma in Life Coaching
PTSD can be effectively treated or managed using hypnotherapy, often as an adjunct to traditional therapies, as evidenced by studies indicating significant improvements in symptoms like nightmares and flashbacks. It is used to address root causes and provides controlled access to memories, lowering physiological reactivity.Key Details on Hypnotherapy for PTSD:How it Works: Hypnosis helps individuals with PTSD access a deep state of relaxation, making the subconscious more receptive to positive suggestions, which reframes the emotional response to trauma.Targeted Symptoms: Hypnotherapy can reduce PTSD-related anxiety, flashbacks, nightmares, and emotional numbing.Techniques: Approaches include clinical hypnosis, solution-focused hypnotherapy, and self-hypnosis techniques to help patients manage anxiety on their own.
Trauma and PTSD are not as bad as they sound.I will help you cope with the symptoms. I will help you revisit your trauma and have closure once and for all.

Dr. Kimberly E. Johnson
Psychologist, PsyD, HSPP, APIT
I have worked with clients who have been traumatized as a child, teenager, adult or older adult. Trauma can occur due to emotional, physical, sexual or psychological assault. Everyone experiences and manages their trauma exposure in their own unique way. Sometimes we are not even aware of events that have happened to us or have spent a lifetime trying not to remember. Regardless, that experience can impact how we think about and treat ourselves and others. Depending on the severity and duration of that trauma, it is not uncommon for it to affect our ability to work, parent, maintain relationships, function and even tolerate being around others. I work with clients who have experienced physical and psychological abuse, sexual abuse or exploitation, combat or military trauma, racism, discrimination and marginalization, sexism and violence. Everyone's story is unique and I work to help that individual process those experiences at a pace that they can manage to reclaim the life they deserve.

Dr. Adam Shafer (Chicago, IL)
Psychologist, Psy. D., M.A.
When the foundation of trust shaken (if not feeling broken) through experiences of trauma, the approach to restoring one's life must always be one of sensitivity, patience, and compassion. Without this, there will always be a risk that it will never feel safe enough to heal.

Dr. Tracy Mallett
Psychologist, Psy.D., L.M.F.T., Licensed Psychologist
Experiencing trauma can have lasting effects on your emotions, thoughts, and relationships. I specialize in helping adults, adolescents, and families who have experienced traumatic events, including childhood adversity, accidents, medical trauma, abuse, or other significant life stressors.
Therapy provides a safe, structured environment to process distressing experiences, understand how trauma affects daily functioning, and develop coping strategies to regain control and stability. I integrate evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused CBT, and EMDR-informed strategies, tailored to each client’s needs and pace.
In our work together, you will learn tools for managing anxiety, hypervigilance, intrusive thoughts, and emotional dysregulation. Therapy also focuses on rebuilding trust, enhancing self-compassion, and improving relationships that may have been impacted by trauma.
My goal is to help clients move from surviving to thriving—reducing the hold of traumatic experiences while fostering resilience, empowerment, and a sense of safety in daily life. Recovery is a process, and I guide each client with compassion, structure, and clinically grounded support throughout the journey.

MindOverHealing Therapies
Hypnotherapist, CHt
Hypnotherapy can be instrumental in addressing trauma and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Trauma often leaves deep emotional scars that manifest as anxiety, flashbacks, nightmares, and heightened stress responses. Traditional therapeutic approaches may not always reach these deeply embedded issues, but hypnotherapy offers a unique avenue to access and heal the subconscious mind where trauma is often stored. Furthermore, hypnotherapy can help individuals build positive coping mechanisms and resilience. Techniques such as guided imagery and positive suggestion can instill a sense of safety and empowerment, replacing the negative emotions tied to traumatic events.

Jonathan Schmalz
Psychologist, PhD, HSP-P
A trauma-informed approach underlies all of my work as a therapist. I know that many clients come to therapy not specifically because of trauma, but because they feel lonely or inadequate, they are depressed or anxious, or just cannot seem to have the intimacy they crave. Sometimes acknowledging trauma comes later in the therapy work and that is okay. Just know that I trust that you will talk about it when you are ready.
I would like to join you in acknowledging how the past has affected your present and in charting a course to healing that works for you. You may wish to talk about particular pains from the past and you may wish to focus on the future. We will work together to find the balance that is right for you, so that you can live the life that you really want to live.

Dr. Michael M. Grant
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist PhD, MBA
Bad things happen to us all. If they are so frightening and life-threatening that we have nightmares about them, flashbacks to them, and find ourselves avoiding anything that reminds us of them such that our lives become smaller and smaller, then it's time to deal with the trauma and the stress we feel after the trauma (post-traumatic stress). There are ways to lessen the pain of the memory and I can help you do that.

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.

Chuck Gray, Ph.D.

Rather than limit counseling to only one approach, I offer my clients what I think is best specifically for them from a wide array of expert approaches in my marriage and other counseling. In addition to leading seminars to train other professionals in marriage counseling, I have benefited by receiving extensive professional training from most of the leading marriage counseling experts in the country, including but not limited to John Gottman, Susan Johnson, John Gray, Harville Hendrix, Virginia Satyr, Ellyn Bader and Peter Pearson, Gary Brainard, Frank Pittman, Shirley Glass, Janice Abrahms Spring, and Neil Jacobson. In conducting counseling, I am fortunate to be able to choose from numerous resources including principles from Gottman's research, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Mars & Venus Counseling, Imago Therapy, Positive Therapy, Interpersonal Therapy, Systems Therapy, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Rogerian Therapy, Integrative Therapy, Humanistic Therapy, Transactional Analysis, Reality Therapy, Rational Emotive Therapy, Gestalt Techniques, NLP, and EMDR. I also offer counseling tools that I personally developed here in Houston.
