Dr. Michael M. Grant
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist PhD, MBA
Bad things happen to us all. If they are so frightening and life-threatening that we have nightmares about them, flashbacks to them, and find ourselves avoiding anything that reminds us of them such that our lives become smaller and smaller, then it's time to deal with the trauma and the stress we feel after the trauma (post-traumatic stress). There are ways to lessen the pain of the memory and I can help you do that.

Sara Deese
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MA, MCAP, LMHC-QS
Trauma can leave lasting imprints—but healing is possible. If you find yourself stuck in patterns of fear, anxiety, or emotional overwhelm, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) can help you process those painful memories and regain a sense of peace. I specialize in trauma-informed care using EMDR to support individuals in moving beyond past experiences and reclaiming their lives.

Dina Hijazi
Psychologist, PhD, CSAT
Trauma can leave lasting emotional, psychological, and physical effects that impact daily life, relationships, and self-worth. Whether you're dealing with the aftermath of a single event or complex, long-term trauma, I provide a safe, supportive space to begin healing. Using trauma-informed approaches such as EMDR, somatic awareness, and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), we work to process painful memories, reduce symptoms of PTSD, and restore a sense of safety and control. Healing is possible—and you don’t have to carry it alone.

Prolonged Exposure Therapy (PE) is my psychotherapy model of choice when it comes to trauma processing. It worked wonders for the combat veterans and sexual trauma survivors I worked with at the Veterans Administration.

Aaron Kapin
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
From the perspective of Somatic Experiencing, trauma isn't the thing that happened 15 years ago (or last week), it's the ongoing effects that that incident continues to have on your body.
We can work together to figure out how your body is still reacting to that incident, and work to help your body 'catch up' to the present moment. If you're safer now than you were then, there are ways we can help your body 'complete' the threat response from so long ago, and land in the comparative safety of the present moment.
I can't treat PTSD, so if you've been diagnosed with PTSD you should still work with a licensed mental health professional, even as you work with me. What I can do is support your body in turning down the volume on that threatened feeling that has been coming up since the trauma-inducing events.

Norma J. Perez
Psychologist, PhD
I have been working with individuals who have trauma and PTSD for over 20 years. For many years this was my main focus and as a evidence-based therapist I learned many different ways of treatment and developed a hybrid approach that I taught to other therapist for years. I start by helping you reduce your symptoms, then if your willing we re-process your trauma and help you look at it in a different way by identifying what is your "stuck point" and working to move that along. That in itself can also reduce remaining symptoms. With what is left, I help you move forward with your remaining symptoms and do what make you happy, despite of your symptoms. It may make you anxious to do something but at the end of the day, the joy you felt makes it worth it. Again, remember, you would be doing this with much less anxiety than when you started therapy. This a is a proven approach that has worked with so many individuals with trauma.

Chasity Goddard
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT
Trauma creates a deep groove in the brain that can lead to automatic thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. I use AAIT to help heal those wounds and stop the automatic responses to triggers, putting you back in control of your responses and behaviors.

Jonathan Schmalz
Psychologist, PhD, HSP-P
A trauma-informed approach underlies all of my work as a therapist. I know that many clients come to therapy not specifically because of trauma, but because they feel lonely or inadequate, they are depressed or anxious, or just cannot seem to have the intimacy they crave. Sometimes acknowledging trauma comes later in the therapy work and that is okay. Just know that I trust that you will talk about it when you are ready.
I would like to join you in acknowledging how the past has affected your present and in charting a course to healing that works for you. You may wish to talk about particular pains from the past and you may wish to focus on the future. We will work together to find the balance that is right for you, so that you can live the life that you really want to live.

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.

Kari Carter
Life Coach, APSATS certified, ACC, CPC, ADOH
Betrayal Trauma cam present with symptoms similar to PTSD - intrusive thoughts, hypervigilance, emotional flooding, sleep disruption, anxiety, and difficulty feeling safe. When trust has been shattered through infidelity, sexual addiction, or chronic deception, the nervous system often remains in a prolonged state of threat response.
I specialize in trauma-informed, partner-sensitive care that focuses first on stabilization and nervous system regulation before deeper processing. My work helps clients understand their trauma responses, reduce symptom intensity, establish protective boundaries, and regain a sense of internal safety. Healing is possibly when trauma is acknowledged and treated with informed, compassionate support.

Jay Shaw
Hypnotherapist, CHt (Certified Hypnotherapist)
Unresolved trauma doesn't stay in the past it runs in the background of every decision, relationship, and stress response you have today. Identity 2.0 hypnotherapy works to neutralize the subconscious charge attached to past events, reducing triggers and rebuilding a nervous system baseline that isn't controlled by what happened before. This isn't about reliving the pain. It's about removing its authority over your present identity.

Sharon Davern MSED, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed in Minnesota, Tennessee
Trauma and PTSD should only be treated by someone who has extensive experience with it. I spent many years working with people who have suffered trauma and developed PTSD. I rely on an approach called Prolonged Exposure therapy which does not mean that you are actively exposed to the source of your trauma but rather we work through these issues both in looking at the trauma and in what ways it has affected your life.

Memphis has among the highest rates of poverty and violent crime in the United States, and its therapists frequently specialize in trauma, PTSD, and the psychological effects of chronic community-level violence and economic stress. The city's African American community — which comprises a majority of the population and carries a rich cultural heritage rooted in blues, soul, and civil rights history — drives strong demand for culturally affirming therapists who understand racial trauma and intergenerational resilience. Regional One Health and Baptist Memorial Health Care provide major institutional mental health resources alongside a growing network of community clinics. Memphis's deep musical identity sustains a creative community with its own distinctive mental health needs around artistic expression, economic precarity, and the weight of legacy.
