Sumer Statler Aeed
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
Trauma is the experience not just of what happened to us, but by how our bodies, neurology, and hearts respond to what happened to us. Traumas of 'small t' and traumas of 'big T' both create adaptions to our true selves that can lead in our being 'stuck' in ways that don't serve us, that may create more trauma, or disconnection from our true selves and to our relationships with others. We have multiple ways of healing trauma, including complex traumas, including Flash Therapy, EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), clinical hypnosis, somatic work, art therapy and more. Coming back to your true self, perhaps for the first time, is not a journey to be missed.

Shira Collings
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
Many people seeking counseling for mental health issues have experienced trauma. I feel that it is very important to acknowledge the wide variety of difficult experiences that can have the impact of trauma. Trauma can be caused by not only physical and sexual violence but also emotional abuse, bullying, oppression/discrimination, body shaming, microaggressions, religious and spiritual abuse, and more. Some of the approaches I use to treat trauma include Cognitive Processing Therapy and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

Elana Blumenthal
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I work with clients on some of their traumatic histories, memories, their strength and survival and what continues to come up for them. If a client wishes some more specialized treatment such as EMDR I can always refer them to someone and/or work in conjunction with another specialist.

Dr. Colby Cohen-Archer
Psychologist, PhD
Trauma lives in our bodies, wreaking havoc on your nervous system, emotional reactivity, and relationships. Whether your trauma comes from early childhood experiences or a traumatic childbirth experience, we can work together to help you heal. I will help you tell your story in a setting of safety. If you prefer not to rehash what happened, we can help your body and mind process the lingering emotions, body sensations, and intrusive images using an eye movement therapy called Accelerated Resolution Therapy. This helps reduce symptoms in just a few sessions, often only one session. Clients says they are surprised at the quick relief from ART. Using traditional talk therapy or ART, we can continue to process what happened and help you learn to relate to the world in a different way, or help you prepare for future situations that are similar. Many women who have experienced traumatic births find ART helpful in enabling them to decide whether to have more children from a clear mind and not from a place of fear.

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.

Gabrielle A. Morreale / Recovered and Restored
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.A. LPC.
Research shows that nearly 69% of women report experiencing some form of trauma in their lifetime, and approximately one in four individuals with eating disorders also experience symptoms of complex PTSD. In fact, PTSD is one of the most common co-occurring conditions alongside eating disorders. Trauma can significantly intensify eating disorder behaviors, often as the nervous system attempts to cope with overwhelming or unresolved experiences.
At Recovered & Restored, we understand that healing from both trauma and an eating disorder is courageous work. We also want you to know clearly: what happened to you was not your fault. Recovery may feel daunting at times, but it is deeply worthwhile. Our clinicians move at a pace that feels safe and manageable for each client, honoring your story and your readiness. We utilize a trauma-informed framework and draw from integrative, evidence-based modalities to support lasting healing.
Our Trauma-Informed Approach
Because trauma and eating disorders are so often interconnected, we prioritize trauma-informed care in all that we do. This approach recognizes the impact of trauma and seeks to create an environment that fosters restoration rather than re-traumatization.
Our work is grounded in five core principles:
Safety – Creating emotional and physical spaces where you feel secure.
Choice – Respecting your autonomy and honoring your voice in treatment.
Collaboration – Working together as partners in your recovery.
Trustworthiness – Maintaining transparency and consistency in care.
Empowerment – Supporting you in reclaiming your strength and resilience.
You deserve healing that feels steady, compassionate, and rooted in dignity.
We are formally trained in EMDR and Brainspotting!

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.

ANEW Christian Counseling
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MTS, MSW, LCSW
We all experience painful events in life, but some of us experience traumatic events that seem to paralyze us and resurfaces in our minds over and over again. A traumatic event is an incident that causes physical, emotional, spiritual, or psychological harm. When individuals experience a horrible event, the emotional impact and response to that event is referred to as trauma. Some examples of traumatic events include: war, death of a loved one, serious illness, natural disasters, physical pain or injury such as a severe car accident, terrorism, experiencing acts of violence, abuse or neglect, witnessing a death, domestic abuse, and prison stay. Trauma can have debilitating effects on us but we can heal. I walk clients through trauma therapy with empathy, care and an approach that aims not to re-traumatize my clients as they heal. With great caution and care, I help my clients face, address, and recover from past trauma.

Skylark Somatic Therapy
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
Relational trauma—wounds caused by betrayal, neglect, or abuse in close relationships—can leave deep emotional and physical imprints. 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.

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.

Lionel Latouche - Kairos Psychotherapy & Wellness
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Trauma has a profound way of impacting how we see, think, and navigate the world around us. It is also incredibly sensitive because, often, we are re-traumatized by things, people, or events we may encounter. In therapy, we analyze those triggers and the defense mechanisms we developed to cope with them. We gain a better understanding of our unspoken needs regarding the trauma, as well as its visible and invisible impacts on our bodies. As we process the trauma that exists in our bodies, we concurrently work to reframe the events in healthy, meaningful ways, developing coping skills to better manage our bodies and emotions should we encounter a future trigger.

Cook Counseling and Consulting Inc.
Counselor/Therapist, LISW-S, LCSW-QS, CCTP
The purpose of therapy for trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is to assist individuals in recovering from the emotional and psychological effects of traumatic experiences. Various events, including accidents, abuse, violence, natural disasters, and witnessing traumatic events, can cause trauma. PTSD is a trauma-related disorder characterized by intrusive and distressing memories, avoidance of trauma-related stimuli, negative mood and cognitive changes, and heightened arousal.
The selected therapeutic approach for trauma and PTSD may vary depending on the individual's specific requirements, the nature of the trauma, and their treatment objectives. Numerous clinicians may combine therapeutic approaches to develop a comprehensive, individualized treatment plan.
It is essential to recognize that trauma therapy can be emotionally taxing, as individuals may be required to confront distressing memories and emotions. Consequently, working with a qualified and experienced trauma therapist who can provide a secure and supportive environment throughout the recovery process is crucial.
Suppose you or someone you know is experiencing trauma or PTSD symptoms. In that case, it is strongly recommended that you seek assistance from a mental health professional trained in trauma therapy to begin the healing and recovery process.
