Online Trauma and PTSD therapists in Tennessee
Matthew Syzdek
Psychologist, PhD, LP, MBA
If you feel on edge, anxious, irritable, can't relax, or struggle to trust people, there is a path forward towards a more fulfilling life. Don't gamble when choosing a therapist. You deserve a psychologist who will adapt the best science to your specific needs and goals. Many therapists themselves are burned out and can't give the best care to their clients. Dr Syzdek built a small boutique practice where he limits the number of clients he treats, so he can give his clients the time, thought, and dedication that they deserve. Dr Syzdek combines compassion with the science of behavior change to help you make the the difficult decisions in life and take action, so you can live a happier life, thrive at work, love your relationships, and have fun again. Dr Syzdek treats trauma and related conditions typically using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and exposure therapies. These approaches combine mindfulness, acceptance, and cognitive strategies to help you live your life again and find relief from the the struggle.

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. I also offer counseling tools that I personally developed here in Houston.

New Leaf Counseling and Wellness
Psychologist
Treating trauma and PTSD requires a comprehensive and compassionate approach that prioritizes safety, trust, and empowerment. Drawing from evidence-based therapies such as cognitive processing therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), and somatic experiencing, I work with clients to process and integrate traumatic memories in a supportive therapeutic environment. Through psychoeducation, skill-building, and experiential techniques, I help clients regain a sense of control over their lives while addressing symptoms such as hypervigilance, flashbacks, and avoidance. My specialized expertise enables me to tailor treatment to each individual's unique needs, fostering healing, resilience, and a renewed sense of hope for the future.

Dr. Susan L. Waldo
Psychologist, PhD
I find the greatest fulfillment in the work I do by helping those who feel broken and devastated by life find a path forward to create a life for themselves that is beautiful in its own way and worth living.
I experienced trauma and neglect in my childhood and did some things during that time that caused me to hate myself. I lost my father to a crime, was a victim of tragedy when my brother was killed in an airliner crash. I have felt the incredible sting and devastation of being betrayed more than once. With the help of my therapists, groups, books, and healing partners, I have created a life for myself that I absolutely love that is free of most of the pain of the past.
It is my greatest joy in life to pay forward all that has been given to me to help others find healing and freedom so they can also create a life they love.
I have worked with those who have been victims of harm and also those who have accidentally killed or irreparably harmed others. I have worked with those who due to youthfulness, drugs, alcohol, naivety, or unmanageable pressures in their life took purposeful action to hurt others and now regret it bitterly. I judge none and hope to help all achieve the freedom from the past so they may walk forward and create the life they want.
To accomplish healing from great harm, multiple therapies may be utilized. IFS to help heal internal selves that drive behaviors in unwanted ways; CBT to help manage emotions and to use the whole of the mind rather than just emotions to heal; DBT to learn skills to regulate emotions, tolerate distress, improve interpersonal relationships, and learn to be mindful; ACT to help learn to accept and commit to tolerating the past without suffering overly much or being imprisoned by it; Somatic and Art Therapy to heal pain held in the right brain, and EMDR to integrate experiences. Don’t let this list worry you, in therapy we move from one to another seamlessly and it is not required that you be familiar with these therapies. I will let you know what gems there are in each one that will help you heal.
In addition to therapies, if you have PTSD, you will learn many coping skills to manage your symptoms and make sense of what is happening to you. I will provide you with strategies that will help you feel more safe, capable, and confident and less terrified, vulnerable, and out of control as you travel the PTSD road.

Sumer Statler Aeed
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
Trauma is the experience not just of what happened to us, but by how our bodies, neurology, and hearts respond to what happened to us. Traumas of 'small t' and traumas of 'big T' both create adaptions to our true selves that can lead in our being 'stuck' in ways that don't serve us, that may create more trauma, or disconnection from our true selves and to our relationships with others. We have multiple ways of healing trauma, including complex traumas, including Flash Therapy, EMDR, hypnosis, somatic work, art therapy and more. Coming back to your true self, perhaps for the first time, is not a journey to be missed.

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.

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 and internal parts work, we will work to supportively rebuild a sense of self-guided trust in the world.

Dr. JD Wright
Psychologist, PhD, Licensed Psychologist
When working with trauma I pull from EMDR, somatic approaches, and parts work. A primary goal of the work is to reduce shame and self-judgments, and for you to feel like you can understand and provide compassion to yourself. Through those processes, trauma can be transformed and your experience of yourself and those around you naturally reshaped.

Dr. Natassia Johnson

Traumatic experiences can breed feelings of confusion, sadness, anger, and shame. Let's slowly look at the parts of these experiences that often go unspoken and work on being resilient in the face of them.

Abby Cobey
Psychologist, PsyD
Treatment for trauma and PTSD is really hard. It doesn't feel good to remember the things we most want to forget and unfortunately there is no easy way to heal. You've likely already discovered that avoidance won't work. What we will work on together is feeling the feelings in session so that they are less likely to creep up on you when you don't expect or want them. We'll look at your thinking surrounding the event and how your thinking has changed over time. It will get better.
