Jamie Heavey
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, ATR
Trauma and PTSD can have a significant impact on an individual's mental health, relationships, and overall quality of life. If you or a loved one has experienced trauma, know that you are not alone. At my counseling practice, I specialize in working with individuals who have experienced trauma and are struggling with symptoms of PTSD.
My approach to trauma and PTSD is grounded in evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR). Through these modalities, I provide a safe and supportive space for clients to process their traumatic experiences, gain a deeper understanding of their symptoms, and develop coping strategies for managing symptoms in everyday life.
I understand that trauma can impact every area of a person's life, and I work collaboratively with clients to address their unique needs and goals. Whether you are struggling with flashbacks, nightmares, anxiety, or avoidance behaviors, I am here to support you on your journey towards healing and recovery.
If you or a loved one is struggling with trauma or PTSD, I encourage you to reach out for help. Together, we can work towards a brighter future and a renewed sense of hope and empowerment.

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.

Tammy Desko
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Trauma is unique - it affects theming, body and spirit in ways that standard talk therapy may not fully address. Therapy will help you process overwhelming experiences, manage symptoms like flashbacks or anxiety and rebuild a sense of safety.

It's estimated that 70% of adults in the U.S. have experienced trauma. When we suppress trauma, it stays locked within us and takes a toll on our nervous system, brains, and bodies.

Dr. Diann Sanford
Psychologist, Psy.D, LP, LPC
Many individuals have experienced trauma and PTSD but have not received treatment. Some individuals only experience a few trauma or PTSD symptoms, and do not meet the requirements for a full diagnosis; yet their symptoms significantly interfere in their personal well-being, life, marriage or other relationships. Drawing upon many evidenced based approaches, I will tailor a therapeutic solution that fits you and your circumstance to help you heal, let-go, and come into a new way of being.
This will allow you to become fully functioning in your own life, marriage or relationship. Many of my clients have been victims of rape, violence, or have experienced the hostilities of war and are seeking a new approach to treatment. They want to be free of the intrusive and unwanted memories that impede their present health.

Robin Britt
Counselor/Therapist, LPC-S
Trauma isn't just what happened to you — it's what happened inside you as a result. And it has a way of living on long after the event is over, showing up in your body, your relationships, your sleep, and the ways you've learned to stay safe in a world that once felt very unsafe.
You don't have to have survived something catastrophic to be carrying trauma. Childhood wounds, chronic emotional pain, betrayal, loss, and the slow accumulation of experiences that told you that you weren't safe, loved, or enough — these leave marks too. Whatever brought you here, your experience is valid and your healing matters.
I work with individuals navigating PTSD, complex trauma, and the wide range of ways that painful experiences continue to shape daily life. My approach is paced and collaborative — we don't rush toward the hard material before you're ready, and you're never pushed further than you want to go. Safety comes first, always.
Trauma work can be some of the most profound and life-changing therapy a person does. When you're ready to stop just surviving the past and start building something different, I'd be honored to walk that road with you.

Brian Jones
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MEd, LMHC, LPC
I specifically focus on people with religious trauma. You might not have thought about your trauma as religious. But did you have a tough time growing up in a strict church environment? So did I. Maybe you didn't even realize the effect it had on you until much later in life.
I use Internal Family Systems therapy, which is an approach used specifically for trauma. However, it is not a PTSD approach. If you suffer from severe PTSD symptoms, I'm probably not the right fit for you. If you're not sure, schedule a free consultation. I can provide you with referrals to PTSD specialists if we decide that's appropriate.
