PTSD/Trauma
Sarah J Thompson
Counselor/Therapist, MEd, LPC, LCMHC
Most people will experience trauma in their lifetime whether it’s a car accident, abuse or neglect, the sudden death of a loved one, a violent criminal act, exposure to the violence of war, or a natural disaster.
While many people can recover from trauma over time with the love and support of family and friends and bounce back with resiliency, others may discover effects of lasting trauma, which can cause a person to live with deep emotional pain, fear, confusion, or post-traumatic stress far after the event has passed.
In these circumstances, the support, guidance, and assistance of a therapist is fundamental to healing from trauma.

Carey Luker
Licensed Professional Counselor, LMHC, LPC
If you’ve been through painful, overwhelming, or traumatic experiences, it can sometimes feel like your mind and body are still carrying the weight of them long after they’ve happened. Trauma can show up in many ways—anxiety, emotional numbness, overthinking, difficulty trusting others, feeling constantly on edge, people-pleasing, panic, nightmares, or feeling disconnected from yourself. You may find yourself trying to hold everything together on the outside while feeling exhausted internally. In therapy, my goal is to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you don’t have to carry those experiences alone. Together, we’ll move at your pace, focusing on helping you feel more grounded, understood, emotionally safe, and better able to reconnect with yourself and your life.

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.

PTSD/Trauma
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.

Tomeki Davis
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, NCC, LPC
Traumatic events often leave a lasting imprint on your life. Sometimes emotional healing from trauma can occur somewhat naturally, as life goes on. At other times, trauma leaves a more indelible impression on a person’s life by causing frequent bouts of emotional distress, impaired judgement, and even physiological symptoms. I employ Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, a form of psychotherapy developed for and scientifically proven to help people suffering from the effects of trauma and PTSD.

Cecelia Myers
Counselor/Therapist, LCMHC (North Carolina), LPC (Georgia), LPC (South Carolina)
Trauma is experienced differently for everyone. What is identified as trauma is also subjective. Trauma can actually change brain chemistry. Understanding how it affects the client now and why they are experiencing the symptoms can help in the process of coping and living with the trauma.

Emotional abuse and physical abuse are traumatic. They result in triggers to chronic anxiety and depression. Recovery requires the processing of trauma. With the use of Energy Psychology, you can reliably process trauma without being re-traumatized.

Nour Counseling
Counselor/Therapist
Trauma is often misunderstood as something that’s “in the past”—but for many people, it’s still very present. It shows up in your body, your reactions, your relationships, and the way your nervous system responds to the world around you. You might feel on edge, shut down, easily overwhelmed, or like you’re constantly bracing for something. PTSD isn’t just about remembering what happened—it’s about how your system adapted to survive it. And those adaptations don’t just turn off because time has passed. For some, trauma can also show up as specific fears or phobias—intense, automatic responses that feel out of proportion but are deeply rooted in how your brain learned to stay safe.
At Nour Counseling, we don’t rush you to talk about things before you’re ready, and we don’t treat trauma like something to push through. We focus on safety first—helping you understand how your nervous system works and building your capacity to stay grounded. We offer S.A.F.E. EMDR (Somatic and Attachment-Focused EMDR), which is especially relevant for trauma because it prioritizes stabilization, pacing, and your body’s response—not just the memory itself. Trauma is stored in the nervous system, not just in thoughts, and this approach allows for processing that feels more contained, less overwhelming, and more attuned to your readiness.
Alongside this, we work with you to rebuild a sense of safety in your body, strengthen boundaries, and make sense of how trauma may still be shaping your patterns. We also name the cultural and systemic factors that impact how trauma is experienced and responded to, so you’re not carrying that context alone. This work is not about “getting over it”—it’s about helping your system feel safer, more regulated, and more able to move through life without constantly being pulled back into survival mode.

Trauma hinders us from being who we truly wish to be in life. This could isolating one's self out of fear, having consistent negative thoughts about the world, not being able to form healthy relationships due to a lack of trust, etc. Don't let these issues hinder you any longer. Get with one of our clinicians to process your trauma and explore the positives that could be through healing and cognitive reconstruction.

Dr. Hiyaguha Cohen
Counselor/Therapist, Ph.D., LPCA, MA, MFA
EMDR has been proven effective in reducing the symptoms of PTSD. It's possible to benefit from EMDR without having to talk at length about your trauma, and without having to re-experience it mentally. With EMDR, we spend as much time replacing haunting memories with positive images as we do dismantling the effects of the trauma.

Chuck Gray, Ph.D.

Rather than limit counseling to only one approach, I offer my clients what I think is best specifically for them from a wide array of expert approaches in my marriage and other counseling. In addition to leading seminars to train other professionals in marriage counseling, I have benefited by receiving extensive professional training from most of the leading marriage counseling experts in the country, including but not limited to John Gottman, Susan Johnson, John Gray, Harville Hendrix, Virginia Satyr, Ellyn Bader and Peter Pearson, Gary Brainard, Frank Pittman, Shirley Glass, Janice Abrahms Spring, and Neil Jacobson. In conducting counseling, I am fortunate to be able to choose from numerous resources including principles from Gottman's research, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Mars & Venus Counseling, Imago Therapy, Positive Therapy, Interpersonal Therapy, Systems Therapy, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Rogerian Therapy, Integrative Therapy, Humanistic Therapy, Transactional Analysis, Reality Therapy, Rational Emotive Therapy, Gestalt Techniques, NLP, and EMDR.
