Dr. Thomas Ballas
Psychologist, PhD; PSYPACT
I am a clinical psychologist with specialized expertise in treating trauma and PTSD. My professional background includes working in hospital settings, private practice, and serving as a medical officer in the U.S. Army, where I gained significant experience addressing the profound impact of trauma and related mental health challenges. Through advanced training at leading military treatment facilities working with complex trauma, I have refined my skills in evidence-based approaches such as Prolonged Exposure Therapy (PE), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).
These experiences have given me a deep understanding of the complexities of trauma and PTSD and a strong commitment to delivering compassionate, effective care. My goal is to help you process and heal from trauma, regain a sense of safety, and build a fulfilling and resilient life. Together, we will develop a personalized therapeutic plan tailored to your unique needs, ensuring you feel supported and empowered throughout your healing journey.

Soma Aloia, SoulWork Somatics & Somatic Counseling
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LCST, HES
Complex trauma and CPTSD stem from more than just events in our adult years. These are usually foundational from early developmental trauma and childhood trauma, and can be worked with and healed at any age.
Trauma is not only what happened to you. It is also how those experiences continue to live within the body and nervous system long after events have passed. Using a gentle, body-centered approach, we'll work at a pace that feels safe - restoring connection, resilience, and the freedom to live more fully in the present.
Therapy helps restore safety, connection, and the capacity to move forward without remaining organized around survival. You will learn how to reparent the little ones inside and have an easier relationship with yourself and your body.

Sumer Statler Aeed
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
Trauma is the experience not just of what happened to us, but by how our bodies, neurology, and hearts respond to what happened to us. Traumas of 'small t' and traumas of 'big T' both create adaptions to our true selves that can lead in our being 'stuck' in ways that don't serve us, that may create more trauma, or disconnection from our true selves and to our relationships with others. We have multiple ways of healing trauma, including complex traumas, including Flash Therapy, EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), clinical hypnosis, somatic work, art therapy and more. Coming back to your true self, perhaps for the first time, is not a journey to be missed.

Clear Path Counseling and Wellness Center
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA. LPC
Brad provides trauma-informed counseling for anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, family issues, and a wide range of related emotional and psychological concerns. These difficulties can significantly impact daily functioning, relationships, self-esteem, work performance, and overall quality of life, often leaving individuals feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves and others.
Brad takes a holistic and trauma-focused approach to therapy, integrating evidence-based trauma treatment with a personalized, client-centered framework. Rather than focusing only on symptom management, therapy explores underlying emotional patterns, life experiences, and trauma histories that may be contributing to current distress.
As an experienced trauma therapist and EMDR therapist, Brad integrates EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), trauma-informed counseling, emotional regulation strategies, and holistic therapeutic approaches to support deep and lasting change. Treatment focuses on processing past experiences, reducing emotional reactivity, and helping clients develop healthier, more adaptive ways of thinking, feeling, and relating.
Clients often come to therapy feeling weighed down by anxiety, depression, or unresolved trauma. Brad’s approach helps clients understand how past experiences may still be influencing present-day thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, and works toward resolving these patterns in a structured and supportive way.
Therapy is collaborative and individualized, designed to help clients regain a sense of control, clarity, and emotional stability. The goal is to support meaningful, sustainable change that improves relationships, strengthens resilience, and enhances overall well-being.
Brad also specializes in religious trauma counseling for individuals who have experienced harm in religious or church settings. This may include spiritual abuse, coercion, guilt-based teachings, or other distressing experiences related to organized religion. Therapy provides a safe and non-judgmental space to process these experiences and rebuild a sense of identity, meaning, and emotional safety.
Healing is possible. With the right support, clients can move beyond the impact of trauma and create a more balanced, empowered, and fulfilling life.

Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
For more than 33 years, I’ve worked with adults whose lives have been shaped by experiences that were overwhelming, prolonged, or carried alone for a long time. Many are thoughtful, highly responsible people who have learned to keep going, even when something inside feels stuck, numb, or on edge.
This often includes early family dynamics that were never named as “trauma,” but still live in your body and relationships. When these kinds of experiences are ongoing or rooted in early life, they are often described as complex trauma, C‑PTSD, or developmental trauma.
Difficult or frightening experiences can also arise from single incidents or periods of crisis, such as medical trauma, accidents, or other shocks. These experiences may or may not meet criteria for PTSD, but they can still leave a lasting imprint.
These experiences can influence how you understand yourself, how you move through relationships, and how your nervous system responds to daily life. You may notice changes in mood, concentration, or energy. Some people feel constantly on alert, others shut down, and many move between the two. For some, there is a clear “before and after” in their life; for others, there is a quieter sense of having experienced more than most people realize.
In our work together, we focus on building safety and softening the impact of trauma, including PTSD and C‑PTSD, on your daily life. We pay close attention to how it impacts your body, nervous system, and relationships and to the patterns and roles that once helped you cope but may now feel limiting or costly. We move at a pace that respects your capacity and what feels possible right now, with an emphasis on choice and partnership throughout the process.

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
