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. Andrew Bingman
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist, PsyD
One of my primary specialties is helping clients work through early childhood trauma, and many of the clients who I work with have had experiences early in their lives that affect their relationships and day-to-day experiences in the present. I work with clients to gain insight regarding the role of past trauma in their present-day lives and help develop strategies to manage this.

Middle Path Wellness Collective
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LMSW, LPC, PLPC
We specialize in helping clients heal from trauma and PTSD, including experiences that continue to affect their sense of safety, relationships, and emotional well-being long after the event has passed. Trauma can show up as anxiety, hypervigilance, emotional numbness, intrusive memories, or feeling disconnected from yourself or others. Many clients feel stuck in survival mode, even when they logically know they are safe. Our trauma-informed, attachment-based approach helps clients process these experiences at a pace that feels safe and manageable, rebuild a sense of internal stability, and develop greater trust in themselves and their world. Therapy supports clients in moving from survival toward a life that feels more grounded, connected, and fully their own.

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.

Rising Phoenix Therapy - Dempsey Young, Psy.D.
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
Trauma is my BIGGEST specialty and have worked a lot across my entire career in this area. Trauma affects everyone differently, and I know that each person's journey through it is unique. Over the years, I’ve learned and applied a variety of proven techniques to help people in ways that feel right for them. Trauma can show up in many ways, like struggling with self-esteem, feeling shame, staying in unhealthy relationships, having trouble setting boundaries, times of dissociation, or feeling stuck in fight/flight/fawn mode. It can also lead to anxiety, depression, and nightmares. I believe that, together, we can work toward not just surviving, but truly healing and thriving on your path forward.

Julie Cochrane - Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) Therapist
Hypnotherapist, Clinical Hypnotherapist, RTT-T, Rewind Therapy Practitioner, Integration Coaching
Trauma sits in the body and the subconscious, not in the rational mind. For working with traumatic memories, I use the Rewind Technique, an evidence-informed, content-free approach that allows the nervous system to discharge the residue of a traumatic event without requiring you to relive it in detail. This pairs well with RTT for updating the beliefs that formed inside or after the event. If you have a formal PTSD diagnosis or are in active crisis, please work with a trauma-trained clinician as your primary support. I work alongside other providers and am happy to coordinate where appropriate.

Dr. Sarah Pouliot
Psychologist, PhD, LP
Trauma did not wait for consent; Therapy must. While many different therapeutic modalities exist for the treatment of trauma and PTSD, what remains essential is the thoughtful and careful negotiation of pacing between therapist and client such that the therapeutic process feels as manageable and tolerable as possible. Given that trauma so often results from harmful relational dynamics that force agendas or remove personal agency, trauma therapy must offer a healing space that does not seek to rush, pressure, or impinge. Rather, and in my professional opinion, it's imperative that trauma therapy respect the client's experience of what feels manageable at any given moment in therapeutic time and space, working to avoid unnecessary setback and potential retraumatization. I feel this is best achieved through the development of a reliable therapeutic rapport and relationship that functions to carefully and mindfully co-monitor and co-negotiate the everchanging and expanding dynamics between therapist and client. Put another way, your therapy should not be forced into someone else's timeframe or methodology; it should be allowed to develop in step with your specific history, unique needs, and comfort level. Please refer to my Trauma Blog on my website (pouliotpsychologicalservices.com) for more information on my approach to the treatment of trauma.

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.

Gayle MacBride
Psychologist, PhD, LP
Treating trauma has been a specialty of mine for almost 15 years. I mostly use Cognitive Processing Therapy to understand the impact trauma has had on you and your life and then we use skills to address the thoughts that are keeping you stuck in old patterns. We will talk about important themes like safety, trust, power/control, esteem, and intimacy as a part of your trauma patterns. Changing how you think about trauma can help you get unstuck and live in more peaceful ways.
