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.

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.

Emily Blitz
Psychologist, PsyD
Trauma doesn’t always come from one big event—small, repeated experiences can quietly shape how safe, seen, or steady you feel in the world. In our work, we create a supportive space to notice these patterns, understand how they affect your relationships and sense of self, and gently foster healing. Approached with curiosity and care, you can find greater safety, insight, and self-understanding.

Dr. Meghan Miller
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
Trauma can impact the nervous system long after the event has passed, affecting relationships, work performance, emotional regulation, and your sense of safety. You may notice heightened anxiety, emotional numbness, difficulty trusting others, or feeling stuck in patterns that don’t make logical sense. In therapy, I take a structured, evidence-based approach grounded in CBT and trauma-informed care to help you process painful experiences safely and at your own pace. Our work focuses on restoring a sense of control, strengthening coping skills, and helping your mind and body move from survival mode toward greater stability and integration.

Kari Carter
Life Coach, APSATS certified, ACC, CPC, ADOH
Betrayal Trauma cam present with symptoms similar to PTSD - intrusive thoughts, hypervigilance, emotional flooding, sleep disruption, anxiety, and difficulty feeling safe. When trust has been shattered through infidelity, sexual addiction, or chronic deception, the nervous system often remains in a prolonged state of threat response.
I specialize in trauma-informed, partner-sensitive care that focuses first on stabilization and nervous system regulation before deeper processing. My work helps clients understand their trauma responses, reduce symptom intensity, establish protective boundaries, and regain a sense of internal safety. Healing is possibly when trauma is acknowledged and treated with informed, compassionate support.

Kreins Psychological Services
Psychologist, PhD, PsyD
As a psychologist specializing in trauma and PTSD, my treatment approach is rooted in compassion, safety, and evidence-based interventions. Through therapies such as cognitive processing therapy (CPT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), and trauma-focused cognitive-behavioral therapy (TF-CBT), I collaborate with individuals to process traumatic memories, challenge negative beliefs, and develop effective coping strategies. Creating a safe therapeutic environment is paramount, allowing clients to explore their experiences at their own pace while feeling supported and validated. Psychoeducation about trauma responses and self-regulation techniques empowers individuals to manage symptoms and regain a sense of control over their lives. Additionally, I integrate mindfulness practices, relaxation techniques, and grounding exercises to promote emotional regulation and resilience. My goal is to facilitate healing, restore a sense of safety, and empower individuals to thrive beyond their traumatic experiences.

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. Samira Paul Olive Tree Psychology Clinic LLC
Psychologist, PsyD
At Olive Tree Psychology Clinic LLC, we understand that trauma and PTSD can fundamentally reshape how you experience the world, often leaving you in a state of hyper-vigilance or emotional numbness. Our approach is deeply trauma-informed, moving away from "what is wrong with you" to explore "what happened to you." We specialize in treating both acute trauma and the "invisible" wounds of complex and intergenerational trauma, particularly as they intersect with cultural identity and family history. We help you process distressing memories and regain a sense of safety in your own body. Our goal is to provide a secure, compassionate environment where you can move beyond survival mode and reclaim a life defined by your values rather than your past.

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.
