Juliana Sloane
Hypnotherapist, CHT
Hypnotherapy for trauma can be an incredible tool for healing. Whether you're grappling with the long term effects of childhood or developmental trauma, or trying to find relief after a more recent event, hypnosis offers a proven path for freedom and relief. A life with fewer triggers and more ease is possible. One of my clients recently shared with me:
"Just a couple years ago, there were so many moments with my trauma responses where I felt like “This is never going to change.” And it has completely changed. My nervous system is completely different."
It may not have been a magic bullet that fixed her in one session, but over time, as we worked on the triggers, the reactions, and the patterns locked away in the body and mind, it became more and more possible to change behaviors, feelings, thoughts, and so much more. Not only that, but we managed to have fun along the way- embracing hope, strength, joy, and laughter - all while healing trauma. This is my goal for every client I work with - to feel more free, more themselves, more able to live the life they really choose.

Tara Murphy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Trauma leaves lasting imprints on the body, mind, and relationships, and no two experiences of healing look the same. I have extensive experience working with military members, children in the foster care system facing complex trauma, and adults recovering from childhood neglect or abuse. My approach is trauma-informed and highly individualized, integrating IFS, attachment-focused therapy, mindfulness, somatic awareness, family systems, and psychodynamic work. I draw on a range of evidence-based and relational approaches to fit each client’s needs. I also collaborate closely with prescribers when helpful and provide careful diagnostic clarity to distinguish trauma from dissociative disorders, depression, or personality patterns.

The effects of trauma can last for years and years. There is no cookie cutter way to approach trauma as each case is unique. However, we utilize CBT techniques that have been shown to be effective in helping people live well in the aftermath of trauma and other very difficult life events.

Deborah Ejiofor
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, NCC
Treating trauma in therapy focuses on helping individuals process and heal from past traumatic experiences. Therapeutic approaches are commonly used to help clients confront and reframe painful memories in a safe, supportive environment. Therapy also teaches coping strategies for managing triggers, reducing anxiety, and building emotional resilience. The goal is to help individuals regain a sense of control, rebuild self-worth, and work through the emotional and psychological effects of trauma at their own pace. With time and support, therapy helps individuals heal, find closure, and move toward a healthier, more balanced life.

Libby Shaw
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, ATR-BC, LPAT, ACS
What happened to you does not have to define you, but it is something that you have to work through, process, cope with, and make sense of. Trauma is multifaceted, and in my experience every situation is unique. Trauma work requires that we work together to establish a safe therapeutic relationship in order to explore the trauma, at your pace, and find ways to integrate what happened into your history, while not allowing it to define who you are or how you operate in the world.

Lenny Gallo
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Trauma isn’t just about what happened—it’s about how your nervous system responded. When trauma remains unresolved, it can show up as anxiety, shame, anger, numbness, flashbacks, sleep disturbance, relationship struggles, or chronic tension. Even long after the event is over, your body may still feel stuck in survival mode.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a powerful, evidence-based therapy that helps your brain process traumatic experiences so they no longer carry the same emotional intensity. Rather than reliving the past, EMDR helps your system integrate it—so it stops disrupting your present.
Healing doesn’t mean forgetting. It means loosening trauma’s grip so you can feel safer, more grounded, and more like yourself again.
When appropriate, we may integrate other approaches such as IFS or talk therapy—but EMDR is often the foundation of trauma treatment in my practice.

As a somatic psychotherapist, I help women heal not only through talk therapy but also by working directly with the body, where trauma is often stored. Together, we'll explore patterns held in your nervous system, fostering safety, regulation, and resilience.
