PTSD/Trauma
New Path Therapy
Licensed Professional Counselor
Our therapists provide compassionate support to individuals who have experienced distressing events that continue to affect their emotional well-being. Trauma can take many forms, whether from abuse, accidents, loss, or other life-altering experiences, and PTSD can leave lasting impacts on thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Our approach is trauma-informed, focusing on creating a safe and supportive space for clients to process their experiences at their own pace. We utilize evidence-based therapies like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), trauma-focused therapy, and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to help clients heal from the emotional and physical effects of trauma. We help individuals regain control of their lives, reduce the impact of traumatic memories, and move toward healing, resilience, and a renewed sense of safety and self.

Armanda Morel (Latino Healing Partners)
Registered Social Worker, MSW, LSW (Bilingual, English-Spanish)
Trauma has a way of staying with us long after the event has passed — showing up in our bodies, our triggers, our relationships, and our sense of safety in the world. Post-traumatic stress is a very real and very human response to overwhelming experiences, and healing from it requires patience, compassion, and specialized care. I'm here to provide a trauma-informed, bilingual (English-Spanish) space where you can begin to process what happened, reclaim your sense of safety, and move forward — not by forgetting the past, but by freeing yourself from its grip.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) A type of talk therapy, is one of the most recommended treatments for PTSD. CBT examines a client's thought patterns and how they influence behavior and choices.

PTSD/Trauma
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.

PTSD/Trauma
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.

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!

Christina Song
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT-S
I work with individuals experiencing trauma and PTSD from a trauma-informed, relational, and strengths-based perspective. Trauma can result from a single event, repeated experiences, or ongoing stress, and its effects often extend beyond memory—impacting relationships, the nervous system, and daily functioning. In therapy, we move at your pace, focusing on safety, stabilization, and your personal goals.
Our work may include processing traumatic experiences, building coping skills, regulating the nervous system, and strengthening resilience. Therapy is a collaborative space where you can reclaim a sense of safety, reconnect with your body and emotions, and develop strategies to navigate triggers and stressors while honoring your unique experiences. My approach emphasizes empowerment, self-compassion, and sustainable healing rather than rushing toward “closure” or forcing outcomes.

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.

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.
