Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LICSW, NATC, TCTSY-F
My specialty is working with adults who have experienced traum and are easily triggered throughout their day. They are often finding that it is difficult to manage their job, home, family and relationships without overreacting, overanalzying and their nervous system becoming dysregulated.

Peter D. Ruffini
Licensed Professional Counselor, EdS, MA, LPC, LPCMH, ACS, EMDRPT-II
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.

CHRISTIE BAUR PSYCHOTHERAPY
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LPC
Experiencing trauma—whether recent or from the past—can be incredibly painful and leave lasting effects on your emotions, relationships, and sense of safety in the world. You might notice anxiety, flashbacks, avoidance, or feeling “stuck” in patterns that are hard to break. Healing is possible, and therapy can help you reclaim your life.
In our work together, we create a safe, compassionate space to process and make sense of your experiences. Using evidence-based approaches, we’ll focus on helping you feel grounded, regulate emotions, and gradually reduce the impact of trauma on your daily life. You’ll learn tools to cope with triggers, challenge unhelpful beliefs, and build resilience, so you can feel more in control and more connected to yourself and others.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LPC, LCSW, LAPC
At Full Being Services, we provide trauma-informed care for individuals experiencing the lasting effects of traumatic events, including PTSD, complex trauma, or cumulative stress. Trauma can impact emotional regulation, relationships, self-perception, and daily functioning, and it often intersects with systemic and cultural factors that influence healing.
Our clinicians create a safe, culturally responsive space to process trauma at your own pace. We use evidence-based approaches to help clients reduce symptoms, build resilience, and reclaim a sense of safety and agency. Therapy focuses on understanding triggers, regulating emotional responses, processing memories, and integrating experiences in ways that support long-term healing.
Trauma and PTSD counseling at Full Being Services is compassionate, empowering, and holistic—helping clients restore balance, rebuild trust in themselves and others, and move toward a life defined by resilience, purpose, and well-being.

Kelli Hall
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Trauma is relative to the individual. Many clients come in not even realizing that what they’re experiencing is connected to earlier wounding—and that awareness alone can be a powerful starting point.
I work with both what is often referred to as “little t” trauma—ongoing relational wounding—and “Big T” trauma, such as abuse, neglect, loss, or other significant life events. Whether these experiences are obvious or more subtle, they can shape how you see yourself, relate to others, and respond to stress.
Many of the challenges clients face—such as difficulty setting boundaries, emotional overwhelm, or feeling stuck in patterns that don’t seem to change—are often rooted in these earlier experiences.
Our work focuses on helping you understand these patterns with greater clarity while also developing the ability to regulate your nervous system. I incorporate both insight-based and somatic approaches to support you in creating new, more grounded and adaptive ways of responding.
The goal is not just to cope—but to move toward a greater sense of freedom, stability, and self-trust.

Libby Shaw
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, ATR-BC, LPAT, ACS
What happened to you does not have to define you, but it is something that you have to work through, process, cope with, and make sense of. Trauma is multifaceted, and in my experience every situation is unique. Trauma work requires that we work together to establish a safe therapeutic relationship in order to explore the trauma, at your pace, and find ways to integrate what happened into your history, while not allowing it to define who you are or how you operate in the world.

Stephanie Miodus
Psychologist, PhD, NCSP
I have extensive experience conducting therapy and assessments for children, teens, and adults affected by trauma, including those involved in foster care and adoption, survivors of childhood sexual abuse, bullying, chronic health conditions, and interactions with the justice system. My training includes trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT), and I have delivered cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) for PTSD to trauma-impacted college students as part of a federally funded clinical treatment study. My work also focuses on tailoring trauma therapy to meet the needs of autistic individuals, a topic I have presented on at the Philadelphia Trauma Training Conference. Further, I have presented at The American Professional Society on the Abuse of Children Colloquiums. I have also published peer-reviewed research on trauma and PTSD and their relationship to ADHD.

Shannon Mick
Counselor/Therapist, NCC, LPC
Trauma can leave lasting imprints—making you feel jumpy and on high alert (hyperarousal), numb or disconnected (hypoarousal), or like you’re no longer yourself. For endurance athletes, this might show up as hypervigilance on trails, difficulty recovering from injuries or setbacks, emotional overwhelm during hard efforts, or old memories that intrude when you’re trying to push forward. Whether the trauma is recent or from years ago, it can steal safety, trust, and joy from both running and everyday life.
In our work together, we create a safe, paced space to process what happened without becoming overwhelmed. Using CBT to reframe trauma-related thoughts, DBT skills for distress tolerance and emotion regulation, ACT to rebuild a meaningful life, and movement-informed approaches to regulate your nervous system, we focus on gentle, body-based tools that help you feel grounded and in control again.
Many clients experience meaningful healing such as:
Reduced hypervigilance and fewer intrusive memories or flashbacks.
Better nervous system regulation—shifting out of fight/flight/freeze more easily.
Renewed ability to feel safe and present during runs and in daily life.
Stronger self-trust and confidence after setbacks (injury, DNFs, or life challenges).
Feeling more like themselves—calmer, more connected, and hopeful.
I share practical resources like Distress Tolerance Coping Skills (DBT) and nervous system regulation strategies that we can personalize and practice between sessions.
Healing from trauma is courageous work, and you don’t have to do it alone. You can process the past, regulate your body and mind, and move forward with greater strength and freedom—on the trails and in life. Together, we’ll help you finish stronger.

PTSD/Trauma
Modern Behavioral Health Recovery Center
Psychiatrist, MD, 432409
Contrary to what some people may tell you, there is no “order” to how you should grieve. Each person will move through such feelings in their own time and in their own order. It is the grieving process that allows us to move forward and learn to accept the reality of the loss.
People with unresolved trauma will notice themselves being triggered easily (when a small event triggers an oversized reaction), having flashbacks/nightmares, unable to perform some “normal” life tasks, or difficulty participating in “normal” life experiences because they are suddenly overwhelmed.
Trauma therapy helps survivors to safely process and heal from a wide range of trauma.

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.

Dr. Adam Shafer (Chicago, IL)
Psychologist, Psy. D., M.A.
When the foundation of trust shaken (if not feeling broken) through experiences of trauma, the approach to restoring one's life must always be one of sensitivity, patience, and compassion. Without this, there will always be a risk that it will never feel safe enough to heal.

Kevin J. Drab
Counselor/Therapist, Licensed Professional Counselor, Certified EMDR Therapist, Certified Advanced Alcohol & Drug Counsel
My approach is grounded in empathy, compassion, and a deep understanding of the very personal experiences of PTSD and Complex Trauma. I use evidence-based therapies with you such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), EMDR, and trauma-informed therapy to help you manage and resolve the symptoms of PTSD, including flashbacks, anxiety, and avoidance behaviors. Following the current research into approaches which do and do not work, I do not use exposure approaches, and do not require a client to go through the details of their trauma. Working through Traumas, is challenging, but with motivation and commitment recovery is very possible.
