Chuck Gray, Ph.D.
Psychologist
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.

Dr. Ashley Gulden
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
Trauma and PTSD can profoundly disrupt your life, affecting relationships and leading to avoidance in work and home life. It’s important to know that PTSD is treatable, and you can feel safe again. I have published research on the impact of trauma and mind-body approaches to alleviating its symptoms. I also have formal training in EMDR, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Prolonged Exposure Therapy, Rhythms in Regulation Polyvagal Certification, and trauma-informed Mind-Body Medicine. Together, we can reduce the impact of trauma and effectively treat PTSD. Healing from trauma and processing difficult moments is a journey I consider an honor to support. I look forward to creating a safe space for you to heal.

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.

PTSD/Trauma
Shannon Gorres
Life Coach, MDiv, MA
My understanding of trauma has shifted along with international research on why some events create lasting challenging effects for some people but not for others. Our collective awareness has gone from thinking, “What's wrong with you?” to asking, “What happened to you?” and now focusing on, “Who was there for you?”
A simple retelling of a traumatic experience does not always deeply heal the one who suffers. While it can feel good to be truly heard, especially for those who have never told it before and need real empathy, repeatedly telling the story does not often change the subconscious beliefs implanted during the trauma or the nervous system’s reactivity.
Instead, we build a new relationship with a traumatic experience by re-approaching the memory and inviting a shift. Often the shift is around “Who could have been there for you.” While in factual reality, no one may have stopped the trauma, we can access another perspective that enables our bodies, hearts, and minds to feel supported. We can do this many ways: through role play, through calling in ancestors or pop stars or our highest selves, or by letting our wise adult-self take over the situation. Or we may use drawing materials or nature to discover a new part of the experience we didn’t realize before.
I've taken many trainings in the origins and effects of trauma and PTSD, and I find working with the nervous system and imaginal realm (creative liminal space) highly effective. I'm not a licensed mental health therapist; I'm a spiritual life coach, so my work is integrative. I offer: calm spaciousness & empathy as you talk, embodied processing options (drawing, clay work, self soothing), and inner parts work (mediated inner dialogue or a “committee of voices,” similar to Soulwork or Internal Family Systems).
Then we make a plan to implement the new shift into everyday life.

Carolyn Murphy, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Counseling Psychology
I have many years of experience helping clients who have experienced physical, emotional, and/or sexual trauma, particularly in their childhood. My approach to therapy is interactive and supportive, with an overall goal of increasing self-awareness and coping skills to help promote the kind of changes that you would like to see. I believe that the quality of the therapist/client relationship is paramount to our work together, and because of this I highly encourage you to choose a therapist that feels like a "good fit" for you. I always start with an initial consultation appointment where I can learn more about your background and reasons for seeking therapy, answer any questions you may have, and then plan together from there. Starting therapy can feel daunting or overwhelming for many people, so it is important that we work at a pace that feels comfortable to you.

Gina Majestro
Psychologist, PsyD, HSP, HSPP
Sometimes it feels like you’re doing everything “right” — but inside, you still feel stuck, anxious, or disconnected from the person you want to be. Maybe you’ve been carrying old wounds for a long time, trying to hold it all together, and you’re just ready for something to finally shift.
I work with adults who are ready to move beyond survival and start truly living. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in deep respect for your story. Together, we’ll explore the patterns and protective parts that once kept you safe — and help you build new ways of feeling grounded, connected, and at home in yourself.
You don’t have to keep doing this alone. Healing is possible, even if you’ve tried before and nothing seemed to work.
I offer in person therapy in Louisville, KY and virtual therapy for adults in Kentucky, Indiana, and across 42 PSYPACT states.
If you’re ready to take that next step — I’d be honored to walk with you.

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.

Raber Hamad
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, NCC, LPC
Trauma can make it feel like the past is still controlling your life. You might find yourself on edge, struggling to relax, or feeling disconnected from the people you love. Maybe certain situations trigger overwhelming emotions, or you shut down to avoid the pain. Even when things seem “fine” on the outside, you might feel stuck, exhausted, or like you're just trying to get through the day.
Healing isn’t about forcing yourself to “move on” or rehashing the past over and over. It’s about helping the parts of you that are still carrying pain feel safe, heard, and unburdened. Using gentle, research-backed approaches like Internal Family Systems (IFS), we’ll work together to process what happened without reliving it, so you can finally feel more grounded, connected, and in control of your life.
