HUGH R STEWART III
Hypnotherapist, Ph.D., ACHt.
I was trained in Advanced clinical Hypnotherapy and as a Breathwork Release Therapist to work with trauma, both childhood trauma and adult trauma like PTSD. It is important to get to the root or source of our trauma and emotionally release anything in that period of trauma back to the person(s) or circumstance(s) in order not to be triggered and project it onto someone or something else, and, not the original cause.

Cook Counseling and Consulting Inc.
Counselor/Therapist, LISW-S, LCSW-QS, CCTP
The purpose of therapy for trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is to assist individuals in recovering from the emotional and psychological effects of traumatic experiences. Various events, including accidents, abuse, violence, natural disasters, and witnessing traumatic events, can cause trauma. PTSD is a trauma-related disorder characterized by intrusive and distressing memories, avoidance of trauma-related stimuli, negative mood and cognitive changes, and heightened arousal.
The selected therapeutic approach for trauma and PTSD may vary depending on the individual's specific requirements, the nature of the trauma, and their treatment objectives. Numerous clinicians may combine therapeutic approaches to develop a comprehensive, individualized treatment plan.
It is essential to recognize that trauma therapy can be emotionally taxing, as individuals may be required to confront distressing memories and emotions. Consequently, working with a qualified and experienced trauma therapist who can provide a secure and supportive environment throughout the recovery process is crucial.
Suppose you or someone you know is experiencing trauma or PTSD symptoms. In that case, it is strongly recommended that you seek assistance from a mental health professional trained in trauma therapy to begin the healing and recovery process.

I specialize in trauma and PTSD using evidence-based treatments including EMDR, Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and Prolonged Exposure (PE). Trauma often drives anxiety, anger, compulsive behavior, and emotional shutdown without being obvious. Treatment is structured and intentional, aimed at resolving trauma responses rather than managing symptoms indefinitely.

Dr. Meghan Miller
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
Trauma can impact the nervous system long after the event has passed, affecting relationships, work performance, emotional regulation, and your sense of safety. You may notice heightened anxiety, emotional numbness, difficulty trusting others, or feeling stuck in patterns that don’t make logical sense. In therapy, I take a structured, evidence-based approach grounded in CBT and trauma-informed care to help you process painful experiences safely and at your own pace. Our work focuses on restoring a sense of control, strengthening coping skills, and helping your mind and body move from survival mode toward greater stability and integration.

XaHara A. MeGod
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LCPC, R-DMT, CPT
Trauma lives in the body, not just the memory. My approach to PTSD is gentle, paced, and deeply respectful of your nervous system. Using somatic therapy, cultural awareness, and trauma-informed principles, we help you release stored activation, reduce hypervigilance, and reclaim safety in your own skin. You don’t have to relive it to heal it.

Maria Jose Rendon
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I work with adults navigating trauma and PTSD, including the kind that doesn't always fit a single dramatic event, ongoing racialized stress, immigration-related trauma, or the accumulated weight of navigating institutions and environments not built with you in mind. My approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, trained through the Beck Institute, to help process what happened and rebuild a sense of safety and stability. Many of my clients are first-generation professionals or Latinx adults for whom trauma is layered with cultural and immigration history. I offer sessions in English or Spanish.

Karen Baumstark, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., CMHIMP, CTACC
None of us can escape some level of trauma; inevitably, it will be a part of life. How much it affects us, however, depends on many factors including the nervous system we were born with, our outer resources, and how much relational support we receive to help us recover from the trauma. Many people do not have access to adequate resources to help them recover from trauma (and this is very subjective and personal, varying from person to person), and the trauma continues to affect them in (sometimes subtle, but still) impactful ways. If certain factors come together, PTSD may develop out of trauma. Often clients feel like they have failed because they can't completely "get over" their PTSD reactions. I have often reminded clients that PTSD is "the gift that keeps on giving". It can be very hard, perhaps impossible, to completely eradicate PTSD reactions, because the reaction is not just of the mind, it is of the whole body. My approach to helping clients with trauma and PTSD involves looking at it holistically and working to understand how the trauma changed you, your reaction across many facets of your life (thoughts, feelings, habits, behaviors, self-care or lack thereof, expectations, how you view the world), and then working on replacing what is harmful with what is helpful. The goal isn't to completely get rid of the PTSD symptoms (which is likely impossible) but rather to dramatically reduce its effect on you, so you can live your best life, and so an occasional symptom breaking through will not derail you.

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.
