Cecelia Myers
Counselor/Therapist, LCMHC (North Carolina), LPC (Georgia), LPC (South Carolina)
Trauma is experienced differently for everyone. What is identified as trauma is also subjective. Trauma can actually change brain chemistry. Understanding how it affects the client now and why they are experiencing the symptoms can help in the process of coping and living with the trauma.

Molly Halbrooks
Counselor/Therapist, LMFT
I utilize EMDR (Eye-Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) and IFS (Internal Family Systems) to help you identify traumatic wounds and begin your healing journey. Trauma work is incredibly worthwhile but can be taxing, so we will move at the pace that feels safe and manageable for you. We explore the full scope of your life, as you are more than your traumatic experiences; we focus both on what has happened in the past, and how to live your life now in a way that feels fulfilled, peaceful, and balanced.

Ross Kellogg, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Individual, Marriage, and Family Therapist (LMFT)
Single event trauma and long-term developmental trauma in childhood can each be overwhelming experiences that bring about an overwhelming set of symptoms that often end in a lot of isolation for the traumatized person. Therapy can help you re-engage with people and life again. A multi modality approach including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy couples with Object Relations Therapy and Internal Family Systems Therapy can often be an effective method for managing symptoms, getting back to feeling good, and accepting the full impact and meaning of the traumatic event(s).

Dr. Andrew Bingman
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist, PsyD
One of my primary specialties is helping clients work through early childhood trauma, and many of the clients who I work with have had experiences early in their lives that affect their relationships and day-to-day experiences in the present. I work with clients to gain insight regarding the role of past trauma in their present-day lives and help develop strategies to manage this.

Matthew Syzdek
Psychologist, PhD, LP, MBA
If you feel on edge, anxious, irritable, can't relax, or struggle to trust people, there is a path forward towards a more fulfilling life. Don't gamble when choosing a therapist. You deserve a psychologist who will adapt the best science to your specific needs and goals. Many therapists themselves are burned out and can't give the best care to their clients. Dr Syzdek built a small boutique practice where he limits the number of clients he treats, so he can give his clients the time, thought, and dedication that they deserve. Dr Syzdek combines compassion with the science of behavior change to help you make the the difficult decisions in life and take action, so you can live a happier life, thrive at work, love your relationships, and have fun again. Dr Syzdek treats trauma and related conditions typically using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and exposure therapies. These approaches combine mindfulness, acceptance, and cognitive strategies to help you live your life again and find relief from the the struggle.

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.

Sara Fraser
Psychologist, PhD
Trauma work cannot work solely on a verbal level-for years, I worked in verbal therapy alone and observed people coming to better understandings of what happened to them and how it left marks even in the present day while continuing to suffer. But once I integrated EMDR and Deep Brain Reorienting into my work with people with trauma, I began to see true shifts in nervous system functioning and healing that was core deep and not just simply coping, bringing true and lasting relief from the pain of the past.

Jullee Capshaw
Counselor/Therapist, MA, LCMHC, NCC
I treat trauma and PTSD by first building a safe, trusting relationship with my clients. I believe in order to process trauma, people need to feel safe. Trauma impacts the ability to trust and feel safe in the present, even after the trauma has ended. Once the client feels safe and secure, I use Accelerated Resolution Therapy to reduce symptoms of hypervigilance, reduce flashbacks, reduce nightmares, and decrease physiological symptoms like increased heart rate, nausea, etc. Trauma does not have to define you.

Aaron Kapin
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
From the perspective of Somatic Experiencing, trauma isn't the thing that happened 15 years ago (or last week), it's the ongoing effects that that incident continues to have on your body.
We can work together to figure out how your body is still reacting to that incident, and work to help your body 'catch up' to the present moment. If you're safer now than you were then, there are ways we can help your body 'complete' the threat response from so long ago, and land in the comparative safety of the present moment.
I can't treat PTSD, so if you've been diagnosed with PTSD you should still work with a licensed mental health professional, even as you work with me. What I can do is support your body in turning down the volume on that threatened feeling that has been coming up since the trauma-inducing events.

Nicole Merrigan, LPA, PLLC
Psychologist, MA, LPA
When you carry trauma or PTSD, the past doesn't stay in the past—it constantly intrudes on your present, leaving you feeling hyper-vigilant, exhausted, or disconnected from your own body. I use a combination of mindfulness and Prolonged Exposure (PE) to help you safely heal. We start with mindfulness to give you a solid anchor. With PE, we safely face the things you've had to push away, so your brain can finally digest the trauma, allowing the memories to lose their painful grip so you can move forward freely.

Carrie Torn
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Carrie often treats trauma using EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) as a Certified EMDR therapist. EMDR is an evidence-based practice used in psychotherapy to treat trauma and other distressing life experiences, including PTSD, anxiety, depression, and phobias. EMDR helps facilitate the brain's natural healing processes through bilateral stimulation, such as eye movements or tapping.
During a traumatic or stressful event, the brain does not process information as it normally would. When overwhelmed, information can get stuck or stored in the brain in unhelpful ways allowing past events to negatively affect you in the present. The old stored information can be triggered in the present and can cause you to have flash backs or be triggered by similar thoughts, feelings, or bodily sensations from when the trauma occurred. This can impact the way a person views the world and how they relate with others.
EMDR uses eye movements (similar to what occurs during REM sleep) to help facilitate information processing and reduce the effects of trauma and the underlying negative beliefs.

JAMES COLVIN
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, M.DIV.
Internal Family Systems is an effective tool in healing trauma. I work with clients to identify their protective parts that have tried for decades in many instances to protect the wounded parts but have not healed them because they cannot. It takes the real Self to create a healing process that works. It may also take ketamine or other medication as well as energy work to heal trauma. In addition developing a spiritual connection to God and the Universe can boost healing as well(even if the tauma may have had religious roots.) The foundation of healing is a solid and trusting relationship between client and gtherapist.

Mary Jean Elder
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MA, Ed. S, LCMHC
There is hope for those struggling with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Trauma can come from abuse as a child, near death events, victim of a crime, natural disasters, as well as many other ways either by experiencing yourself or seeing/hearing things happen. Together we will work through the pieces as you are ready. The story does not need to be told from beginning to end to fully heal. We can look at those intrusive thoughts, nightmares and the pieces that stand out the most to you. We look at how your thoughts, feelings and behaviors are today and explore the parts you need to change. Often we have the belief that the world is not safe and that other bad things are going to happen. Learning to love ourselves and not allowing the events dictate our future. We deserve a happy future!
