Lauren Palumbo
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Whether you've experienced a single traumatic event, ongoing challenges, or the lasting impact of difficult relationships, trauma can shape how you experience yourself and others long after the events have passed. I specialize in relational trauma, particularly childhood emotional neglect, and provide a supportive space where overwhelming experiences no longer have to be carried alone.

PTSD/Trauma
Susan Spicer
Psychologist, PhD
My background as a licensed psychologist and a trauma survivor uniquely positions me to offer compassionate and effective support to individuals who have experienced trauma, whether it be abandonment or physical, emotional, or sexual abuse. My personal journey through trauma has given me firsthand insight into the complex and often challenging process of healing. This, combined with my education and professional experience, enables me to approach therapy with deep empathy, understanding, and a genuine connection to my clients' experiences. I believe in the power of resilience and the potential for growth in the face of adversity, and I am dedicated to helping survivors on their path to recovery and empowerment.
With EMDR as my primary treatment modality, I bring a wealth of experience and expertise in guiding individuals towards trauma healing. My approach focuses on collaboratively identifying trauma targets for processing while also prioritizing resourcing techniques to reestablish a sense of safety and inner peace. Through EMDR therapy, I help clients transform the way traumatic memories are stored in the brain, ultimately freeing them from flashbacks, nightmares, and avoidance patterns associated with trauma. My commitment is to support individuals on their journey to reclaim their lives and find lasting relief from the effects of trauma.

PTSD/Trauma
Dr. Jenny Shields
Psychologist
Trauma has a way of rewriting your story without your permission. Even when you tell yourself you’ve moved past it, memories can suddenly feel overwhelming, trust becomes harder, and your mind and body stay on high alert. Dr. Shields understands how exhausting and isolating this experience can be. She provides compassionate, specialized support grounded in highly effective trauma-specific approaches, including Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Prolonged Exposure (PE), and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). With care, empathy, and patience, she’ll help you rebuild your sense of safety, regain your clarity, and reclaim your story—on your own terms.

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.

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.

PTSD/Trauma
Dr. Jeannine Pablo
Psychologist, LP, LCMHC, MLADC
I have spent the majority of my practice focusing on helping people who have a history of trauma. Traumatic experiences can overwhelm the nervous system, leaving individuals stuck in chronic survival states long after the threat has passed. Utilizing evidence-based, trauma-informed modalities—including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT)—I help clients safely process acute, chronic, and complex trauma (C-PTSD). Our clinical work focuses on reducing hypervigilance, dismantling intrusive flashbacks, and restoring a deep sense of somatic safety and personal autonomy.

Dr. Jadah Petty

Trauma is an experience that can impact nearly every aspect of someone's life, from relationships/trust, to work, to self-esteem, to mood and the list goes on. Finding someone who specializes in trauma/PTSD is essential to truly getting the help you need. I offer the gold standard treatments for PTSD (e.g. Cognitive Processing Therapy and Prolonged Exposure), as well as treatments like EMDR and STAIR. Building a strong relationship is the first step to help you on your journey to re-engaging in the life you want to lead.

Dr. Brian Sharpless
Psychologist, Ph.D., Clinical Psychology; M.A., Philosophy
Trauma affects people in many different ways and no one treatment approach can help everyone. I have experience using both psychodynamic (e.g., Supportive-Expressive Therapy) and cognitive-behavioral (e.g., Prolonged Exposure ) therapies for trauma. I have also published on Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.

Gina Majestro
Psychologist, PsyD, HSP, HSPP
Sometimes it feels like you’re doing everything “right” — but inside, you still feel stuck, anxious, or disconnected from the person you want to be. Maybe you’ve been carrying old wounds for a long time, trying to hold it all together, and you’re just ready for something to finally shift.
I work with adults who are ready to move beyond survival and start truly living. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in deep respect for your story. Together, we’ll explore the patterns and protective parts that once kept you safe — and help you build new ways of feeling grounded, connected, and at home in yourself.
You don’t have to keep doing this alone. Healing is possible, even if you’ve tried before and nothing seemed to work.
I offer in person therapy in Louisville, KY and virtual therapy for adults in Kentucky, Indiana, and across 42 PSYPACT states.
If you’re ready to take that next step — I’d be honored to walk with you.

PTSD/Trauma
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.
