Richard Scott, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Trauma can leave a lasting imprint — disrupting your sense of safety, triggering unwanted memories, and making it hard to feel present or connected. You may find yourself constantly on edge, emotionally numb, or stuck in patterns you don’t fully understand. Therapy offers a safe, supportive space to process what you’ve been through, reduce symptoms of PTSD, and begin to reclaim your life. Healing is possible, and you don’t have to face it alone. If you're ready to take that step, I’m here to help.

Ever experience something so terrible that it seems to take over your every thought and cause unpredictable and explainable emotional reactions? Trauma is an emotional response to a terrible event.

Lauren Chase
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, PhD, LCMHC, NCC, BC-TMH, PMH-C
You may look capable on the outside while carrying painful experiences that still shape how you feel and respond. Through EMDR therapy, we process trauma, reduce emotional intensity, and shift beliefs that keep you anxious, guarded, or stuck so you can feel calmer, safer, and more confident.

Sarah Eisenhauer Counseling
Counselor/Therapist, LCMHC, LCPC, LPC, AADC
If you struggle with complex PTSD and/or developmental trauma, I can work with you to move past not only the symptoms you likely struggle with in every day life, but also accompany you on a path of self discovery. For most individuals who have trauma, living in survival mode means we do not get a chance to tend to our own identity and create the life that we want. I believe you can manage difficult symptoms and discover your true self, living in alignment with who you feel you truly are. I utilize behavioral techniques (CBT, DBT, ACT) as well as a depth, psychodynamic approach.

Phillip Thomas Stepka, PsyD.
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist
I specialize in working with people who have experienced the worst that life can throw at them. This may include single devastating events such as natural disasters, catastrophic accidents, and loss. This may also include chronic experiences such as childhood neglect/abuse, prolonged exposure to big and little "T" traumas such as those experienced by service members, first responders, survivors of war, human trafficking, domestic violence, and other long-standing environmental stressors.

Maria Barber
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
I take a gentle, IFS‑informed approach to trauma and PTSD, helping you understand the protective parts of you that have worked hard to keep you safe. Trauma isn’t a sign of weakness—it’s the imprint of overwhelming experiences that your system adapted to in the best way it could. In therapy, we slow down and build enough safety for those protective parts to soften so we can access the wounded, burdened places that still carry fear, shame, or overwhelm.
IFS offers a compassionate, non‑pathologizing way to work with trauma. Instead of forcing change or revisiting memories before you’re ready, we honor the internal system that developed to help you survive. As you build more connection with your Self—your calm, grounded, wise center—your parts begin to trust that healing is possible. Over time, the intensity of triggers decreases, emotional reactivity settles, and you gain more clarity and choice in how you move through the world.
Whether trauma shows up in your relationships, your nervous system, or your sense of self, I provide a steady, attuned space to help you heal at a pace that feels safe and sustainable.

Dan Walinsky
Psychologist, PhD
I've found that the range of traumas that people experience disrupts our experience of day-to-day life and relationships in so many ways. So many people who've experienced patterns of traumatizing, persistently invalidating, or minimizing experiences have found coping strategies to manage the profound impacts of trauma but eventually find that those strategies no longer work. Together, we will look at the impact of traumas and using a range of practices, which potentially include EMDR, internal parts work, and polyvagal theory, we will work to supportively rebuild a sense of self-guided trust in the world.

Working on trauma is very difficult. I commend all my clients who show up to do this kind of work. It's a long road and often starting therapy stirs things up and can make things more challenging for a short while. If you're plagued by trauma responses, please find a therapist you trust. These things don't typically just go away and there is a lot of evidence that trauma therapy works!

Trauma & PTSD: From Survival to Sovereignty
Rewiring the Alarm and Reclaiming the Present
Trauma is not just what happened to you; it is the "residue" left behind in your nervous system. It is a state where your body remains stuck in a past moment of danger, leading to a life of hyper-vigilance, emotional overwhelm, and systemic burnout. In my practice, we approach trauma with radical compassion and clinical precision, working to help your brain finally move "the then" out of "the now."
The Landscape of Traumatic Stress
Trauma often lives in the "wordless" parts of the brain, manifesting in ways that logic alone cannot reach. We work together to address:
The High-Alert System: Navigating the constant state of "fight or flight" that leads to irritability, insomnia, and an inability to relax.
The Shut Down & Dissociation: Addressing the "numbing out" or the feeling of being disconnected from your body—a protective freeze response used to survive the unbearable.
Attachment Trauma: Exploring how early "systemic" wounds in the family or spiritual community have shaped your ability to feel safe in relationships today.
A Specialized Path to Resolution
With over 20 years of experience, I integrate deep-reaching, somatic-based modalities to move beyond "talk therapy" into true neurological healing:
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing): As an EMDRIA-trained clinician, I use this gold-standard treatment to help your brain process traumatic memories so they no longer trigger the same intense physical and emotional distress.
IFS-Informed "Parts" Work: We get curious about the parts of you that are "stuck" in the trauma—the protectors, the exiles, and the managers—helping them find a new role in a safe present.
Systems Theory & Social Inequity: We acknowledge how external forces—power imbalances, systemic inequity, and spiritual trauma—contribute to and sustain a sense of "un-safety."
Sanctuary for the Healer
I have a "special love" for working with therapists and pastors who are carrying their own "unprocessed" trauma while holding the trauma of their communities. You deserve a peer-level space where you can finally put down the armor of the "helper" and address your own wounds with a clinician who understands the weight of your role.

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.

When working with trauma or PTSD, I provide a safe, supportive space to gently explore experiences that may still be affecting your emotional and nervous system responses. Trauma can leave the body feeling stuck in patterns of fear, hypervigilance, or shutdown. Together we move at a pace that feels safe, using nervous system regulation, mindfulness, and compassionate exploration to help your system process these experiences and gradually restore a sense of safety, stability, and connection.

Allyse Teltser
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Trauma does not stay in the past. It shows up in the body, in relationships, in the way certain moments can pull you back to something you have spent years trying to leave behind. Whether the trauma was a single event or a lifetime of experiences, the impact is real and it deserves real treatment. I use EMDR - one of the most research-supported trauma treatments available - to help clients process what happened without having to relive it in detail. Healing from trauma is possible. It does not have to define the rest of your life.
