Joe Groninga
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) often creates very painful symptoms and is something for which I use a therapy called Prolonged Exposure (PE). In this therapy, we will revisit traumatic situations, process painful emotions, and change unhelpful beliefs about yourself and the world around you as a result of your trauma. People are often amazed at how quickly this treatment can work and by the very meaningful change that can result. For these reasons, this is one of my favorite treatments to provide.

This may also include chronic experiences such as childhood neglect/abuse, prolonged exposure to big and little "T" traumas such as those experienced by service members, first responders, survivors of war, human trafficking, domestic violence, and other long-standing environmental stressors.

PTSD/Trauma
Dr. Jenny Shields
Psychologist
Trauma has a way of rewriting your story without your permission. Even when you tell yourself you’ve moved past it, memories can suddenly feel overwhelming, trust becomes harder, and your mind and body stay on high alert. Dr. Shields understands how exhausting and isolating this experience can be. She provides compassionate, specialized support grounded in highly effective trauma-specific approaches, including Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Prolonged Exposure (PE), and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). With care, empathy, and patience, she’ll help you rebuild your sense of safety, regain your clarity, and reclaim your story—on your own terms.

Danielle Farabaugh
Psychologist, Psy.D.
My approach to treating trauma and PTSD is grounded in evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and trauma-focused interventions, including Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) and Prolonged Exposure (PE). I provide a safe and supportive environment where clients can process traumatic experiences at their own pace while learning skills to reduce distress and re-establish a sense of safety and control. Through structured, collaborative work, clients learn to reframe unhelpful beliefs, manage triggers, and build resilience, promoting healing and recovery from the impact of trauma.

PTSD/Trauma
Jenna Poppe
Pre-Licensed Professional, MA, NNC, PLPC | ADHD + Relationship Therapist
Trauma and ADHD have a complicated and deeply intertwined relationship. Many neurodivergent individuals carry significant trauma from childhood experiences of feeling different, broken, or not enough, to the cumulative weight of years of shame, rejection, and misunderstanding. And trauma has a way of living in the body long after the event has passed, showing up in ways that feel confusing, overwhelming, and sometimes impossible to explain.
I specialize in trauma and PTSD using EMDR, one of the most well-researched and effective trauma treatments available, alongside other evidence-based approaches. I work with clients to untangle trauma from neurodivergence, process what has been too heavy to carry alone, and rebuild a genuine sense of safety, self-worth, and peace.

Dr. Brian Sharpless
Psychologist, Ph.D., Clinical Psychology; M.A., Philosophy

Trauma can result from various situations or events that are life threatening. While some individuals might have survived a traumatic upbringing or recent incident, they might find themselves still struggling in new ways or even repeating similar trauma patterns in their lives. If you're still struggling with deep pain from childhood or recent traumatic events, it's ok to reach out for help in your healing journey.

Anita D. Cohn, LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW
Trauma may be understood in different ways. Professionally, understanding trauma stems from individuals who are seeking help. Another way to learn about trauma is through research or reading. Experiencing personal trauma provides an inside means of understanding and feeling someone's trauma. I combine professional and personal trauma experiences in helping others.

Kieri Olmstead
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Trauma isn't just what happened to you — it's what happened inside you in response, and how your system has been organizing itself around that ever since. At Simple Empathy I bring a trauma-informed, depth-oriented approach that draws on Narrative Therapy, IFS and somatic and EMDR-informed techniques to help you process what happened, understand how it shaped you, and build a life that isn't still being run by the past. This work is done at your pace, with your full agency. You've already survived the hard part. This is about finally being free of it.

Restoration Counseling Ministries
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT-S
Everyone has experienced trauma, but not everyone experiences PTSD. PTSD is, basically, when trauma gets "stuck" in us and forces its way into everyday life. Healing from trauma doesn't mean we forget the bad stuff. Healing is that the bad stuff gets bound in a book and put on the bookshelves of our life. It no longer intrudes into our present. We can take the book off the shelf and open it, remembering all the details, but then close it back up and put it back on the shelf, and it stays there.

Melanie Collins
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, LPC, LCMHC, Coach
If your nervous system feels like it’s running the show—overreacting, shutting down, or keeping you stuck—you’re not broken. You adapted.
I help people with trauma and PTSD understand why their system responds the way it does, and how to work with it instead of constantly fighting it. We focus on practical tools, real-life application, and building a sense of stability that actually holds up outside the therapy room.
No pressure to go faster than your system is ready for. But also no staying stuck forever.
