Dr. Brian M. Berman
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I specialize in the treatment of trauma and posttraumatic stress disorder. Experiencing any trauma can negatively impact quality and leave a person feeling disconnected. By utilizing evidence-based treatments such as prolonged exposure therapy (PE), I will teach you to better manage intrusive trauma memories so you can start living life again.

Allen Wood
Psychologist, Psy.D.
As a psychologist specializing in the full range of trauma, I integrate Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) with Internal Family Systems (IFS) to reinforce a sense of safety, control, and worthiness. I draw upon the principles of Interpersonal Neurobiology to understand how our nervous system is forced to adapt in extreme and overwhelming situations, and how those adaptations can be reinforced or blocked by our relationships, internal conflicts, and past experiences. In our work together, you can expect a high level of collaboration, deeply compassionate understanding, and an abundance of metaphors as we tailor the therapy process to your needs, strengths, and situation.

Dr. Jadah Petty
Psychologist, Ph.D., Licensed Clinical Psychologist
Trauma is an experience that can impact nearly every aspect of someone's life, from relationships/trust, to work, to self-esteem, to mood and the list goes on. Finding someone who specializes in trauma/PTSD is essential to truly getting the help you need. I offer the gold standard treatments for PTSD (e.g. Cognitive Processing Therapy and Prolonged Exposure), as well as treatments like EMDR and STAIR. Building a strong relationship is the first step to help you on your journey to re-engaging in the life you want to lead. I will then help you process your trauma, understand triggers, and develop new coping strategies for managing.

Joe Groninga
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) often creates very painful symptoms and is something for which I use a therapy called Prolonged Exposure (PE). In this therapy, we will revisit traumatic situations, process painful emotions, and change unhelpful beliefs about yourself and the world around you as a result of your trauma. People are often amazed at how quickly this treatment can work and by the very meaningful change that can result. For these reasons, this is one of my favorite treatments to provide.

Dr. Kelsi Clayson
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Trauma has a way of showing up and persisting despite our efforts to keep it at bay. For some, it’s like a thorn that has settled into place and doesn’t hurt too badly as long as you focus your attention elsewhere. For others, it’s an unavoidable, constant source of pain, anger, and fear. Whether it happened recently or decades ago, trauma can take up valuable space in our lives. This may come in the form of unwanted memories, difficulty trusting others, feeling on edge, irritability, avoiding certain situations, or maybe all of the above. Unfortunately, efforts to avoid thinking about past traumatic events often keep people from seeking treatment and finding relief. Although challenging, addressing and resolving emotional wounds can be incredibly liberating and rewarding. Trauma treatment can positively shift the lens through which you see yourself, your relationships, and ultimately the world around you.

Gayle MacBride
Psychologist, PhD, LP
Treating trauma has been a specialty of mine for almost 15 years. I mostly use Cognitive Processing Therapy to understand the impact trauma has had on you and your life and then we use skills to address the thoughts that are keeping you stuck in old patterns. We will talk about important themes like safety, trust, power/control, esteem, and intimacy as a part of your trauma patterns. Changing how you think about trauma can help you get unstuck and live in more peaceful ways.

Julie Cochrane - Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) Therapist
Hypnotherapist, Clinical Hypnotherapist, RTT-T, Rewind Therapy Practitioner, Integration Coaching
Trauma sits in the body and the subconscious, not in the rational mind. For working with traumatic memories, I use the Rewind Technique, an evidence-informed, content-free approach that allows the nervous system to discharge the residue of a traumatic event without requiring you to relive it in detail. This pairs well with RTT for updating the beliefs that formed inside or after the event. If you have a formal PTSD diagnosis or are in active crisis, please work with a trauma-trained clinician as your primary support. I work alongside other providers and am happy to coordinate where appropriate.

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.

Ilyssa Swartout
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Trauma can leave lasting imprints—flashbacks, anxiety, emotional numbness, or a sense of being “stuck.” Healing begins with safety and understanding. In therapy, we’ll use evidence-based trauma approaches such as EMDR, Brainspotting, and DNMS to process and release painful memories at a pace that feels right for you. Together, we’ll work toward restoring trust in yourself and the world, helping you feel more grounded, empowered, and whole.

Inner World Counseling Services PLLC
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
This is the big one—your absolute core specialty. For Trauma and PTSD, we want this description to be the definitive statement of your clinical expertise. It should speak directly to the reality of living with a dysregulated nervous system, Complex PTSD (CPTSD), and the survival habits (like over-functioning and fawning) that people develop just to get through the day.
Here are a few options that firmly establish your expertise and highlight your evidence-based tools:
Option 1: Full-Spectrum & Root-Cause Focused (Recommended)
"I specialize in helping adults heal from the profound, lasting impacts of trauma, PTSD, and Complex PTSD (CPTSD). Trauma fundamentally alters how your nervous system perceives safety, often leaving you trapped in a state of high alert, struggling with intrusive thoughts, or dealing with a relentless inner critic. I look beyond surface-level symptoms to address the root causes of your distress. Utilizing gold-standard, evidence-based trauma modalities—including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)—I provide a highly specialized, structured, yet deeply compassionate space. Together, we will gently process painful past experiences, dismantle the survival habits that keep you stuck, and help your brain and body finally find a true, lasting sense of safety
