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.

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

Dr. Samira Paul Olive Tree Psychology Clinic LLC
Psychologist, PsyD
At Olive Tree Psychology Clinic LLC, we understand that trauma and PTSD can fundamentally reshape how you experience the world, often leaving you in a state of hyper-vigilance or emotional numbness. Our approach is deeply trauma-informed, moving away from "what is wrong with you" to explore "what happened to you." We specialize in treating both acute trauma and the "invisible" wounds of complex and intergenerational trauma, particularly as they intersect with cultural identity and family history. We help you process distressing memories and regain a sense of safety in your own body. Our goal is to provide a secure, compassionate environment where you can move beyond survival mode and reclaim a life defined by your values rather than your past.

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.
