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.

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.

Dayna Nelson, PsyD, LP

EMDR therapy is an integrative psychotherapy and uses a technique called bilateral stimulation to repeatedly activate opposite sides of the brain. Dr Nelson uses EMDR to facilitate the bilateral stimulation. EMDR seems to help the brain reprocess the trapped memories is such a way that normal information processing is resumed. Dr. Nelson uses EMDR to help clients uncover and process beliefs that developed as the result of relational traumas, or childhood abuse and/or neglect

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.

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.

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.

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.
