PTSD/Trauma
Susan Lobosco Benner
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Trauma is often at the root of many of the symptoms and struggles that bring people to therapy. I have many tools to offer to facilitate the process of healing from trauma. The first is a safe therapeutic relationship grounded in many years of experience where you will experience compassion, connection and caring that lead to insight and deepened understanding. Others include Accelerated Resolution Therapy which has proven to be a powerful way to reprocess trauma and detach from triggers, leaving you to live a life free from the daily impact of past and recent traumas. The combination of these tools and others lead to healing of both mind and body, which is essential as both are intricately involved in how we carry trauma.

Cicek Erdem
Psychologist, PhD
Complex or relational trauma can leave lasting effects on how we experience emotions, relationships, trust, and ourselves. You may find yourself stuck in hypervigilance, emotional numbness, shame, people-pleasing, difficulty trusting, or repeating painful relational patterns that once served as protection. My approach is relational, attachment-focused, and trauma-informed, helping clients process difficult experiences while building greater self-understanding, emotional resilience, and a stronger sense of safety. For clients interested in deeper therapeutic work, I also offer ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP), thoughtfully integrated with preparation and ongoing psychotherapy.

Dr. Michelle Woogen
Psychologist, PsyD
Trauma causes us to act in ways that are different than how we want to act. Although we are aware of our behavior, trauma makes it difficult for us to act differently, as our body and mind are doing their best to keep us safe from what it fears will harm us (again). Learning how trauma shows up for you and slowly tackling your behaviors and fears, one step at a time, you can overcome the barriers you are experiencing.

PTSD/Trauma
Sexual Recovery Coach
Counselor/Therapist, PhD, CST, CADC-III, CTA-CC
PTSD generally refers to a reaction to a single traumatic event. A memory of the event, conscious or unconscious, rises up and the person believes that it is happening now. Battlefield trauma is the clearest example of this. CPTSD (Complex Post traumatic Stress Disorder) refers to a stress disorder linked to sustained patterns of abuse, trauma and neglect. Sometimes the roots of the trauma are obvious,but not always. There is inter-generational trauma, intrauterine trauma, medical trauma and religious trauma for example. Trauma knows no time. When we are triggered, the pain and discomfort can be as real as it was when the initial events occurred. Exploring whatever adverse experiences occurred in early life, adulthood or in past generations can help you achieve a freedom from these trauma reactions. To help resolve them, I use EMDR, CBT, hypnotherapy and somatic techniques.

PSYCHe, PLLC
Psychologist, PhD, DBT-LBC™, LPC, PsyD, MSW, Marriage and Family Counselor, LCSW
Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can develop from being exposed to a wide variety of traumatic events such as motor vehicle crashes, home accidents, sexual assault, domestic violence, or being involved in a natural disaster. As the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-V) describes it, PTSD happens after “being witness to or being exposed to situations involving threatened or actual serious physical harm or death.” But it’s important to keep in mind that experiencing a trauma doesn’t mean a person will absolutely develop PTSD.

Whether you seek to overcome a specific trauma or to break a chronic life pattern, to work toward achieving your purpose, I will meet you where you are at. Trauma has entered my work quite assertively over the past decade & I‘m always grateful & privileged to help support & bring more peace of mind to those suffering with PTSD as a consequence of trauma.

Jennifer Cain
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I specialize in trauma and PTSD (and attachment, which is often related to trauma). I can help you process through an upsetting event so that it is not so upsetting anymore. I also help you know how to handle different situations that can come up that remind you (or your child, if you are seeking to help your traumatized child) of the traumatic event, and how to handle related fears and reactions. Safety, feeling powerless, and overwhelming emotions are all addressed in a compassionate, supportive, respectful environment.

Dr Laura Soden
Psychologist, PhD, Clinical Psychology
Even though traumatic experiences may have occurred in the past, the effects of those were imprinted in the body and live in the present emotionally and physically. Psychotherapy revisits those, but in the present as adults, with the developed resources of adulthood, and with an experienced guide in the parson of the therapist.
