Melinda Switzer - Beauty for Ashes Trauma Therapy and Treatment
Counselor/Therapist, Melinda Switzer, MA, LPC, NCC
Trauma and PTSD is the field that I have chosen as my primary specialty. I have been working with clients who have experienced this for the past four years. Before getting my therapy license, I volunteered on the East Texas Critical Incident Stress Debriefing Team. I am also still a member of this team, but my role has changed, I can now participate as a mental health professional on the team, when before I got my license, I functioned as a Peer Counselor. My background as a Paramedic for years has influenced me in this field. Many first responders suffer from PTSD and the most proven method to help them is with Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). https://compassionworks.com/a-mothers-story-september-suicide-awareness-month/

Benjamin Conner Trauma To Peace Therapy
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.S. Clinical Mental Health Counseling, LPC, EMDR, Veteran
The word trauma is often used only for the "Hollywood" version. Your brain responds with traumatic patterns of thought and behavior to many things it cannot understand and solve in the moment. If you think I am not good enough, I am not valued, I am a failure, it's not safe to feel, it's not safe to be me...all of those messages and more are a part of traumatic response. There are techniques that help reprocess those messages and lead to internal peace. "I am" is a powerful thought process that comes from post traumatic growth. That work is something we can do together.

Carrie Torn
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Carrie often treats trauma using EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) as a Certified EMDR therapist. EMDR is an evidence-based practice used in psychotherapy to treat trauma and other distressing life experiences, including PTSD, anxiety, depression, and phobias. EMDR helps facilitate the brain's natural healing processes through bilateral stimulation, such as eye movements or tapping.
During a traumatic or stressful event, the brain does not process information as it normally would. When overwhelmed, information can get stuck or stored in the brain in unhelpful ways allowing past events to negatively affect you in the present. The old stored information can be triggered in the present and can cause you to have flash backs or be triggered by similar thoughts, feelings, or bodily sensations from when the trauma occurred. This can impact the way a person views the world and how they relate with others.
EMDR uses eye movements (similar to what occurs during REM sleep) to help facilitate information processing and reduce the effects of trauma and the underlying negative beliefs.

Lea Purczinsky
Pre-Licensed Professional, Licensed Professional Counselor Associate
It may sound weird to say, but trauma is my heart. If you've been hurt in this life and are seeking healing, it would be my honor to navigate that alongside you. I use several trauma informed modalities that keep in mind how trauma affects the brain and body as we collaboratively unpack your life expereinces and work to take away the sting they can still hold many years later, including PTSD symptoms.

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.

Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
For more than 33 years, I’ve worked with adults whose lives have been shaped by experiences that were overwhelming, prolonged, or carried alone for a long time. Many are thoughtful, highly responsible people who have learned to keep going, even when something inside feels stuck, numb, or on edge.
This often includes early family dynamics that were never named as “trauma,” but still live in your body and relationships. When these kinds of experiences are ongoing or rooted in early life, they are often described as complex trauma, C‑PTSD, or developmental trauma.
Difficult or frightening experiences can also arise from single incidents or periods of crisis, such as medical trauma, accidents, or other shocks. These experiences may or may not meet criteria for PTSD, but they can still leave a lasting imprint.
These experiences can influence how you understand yourself, how you move through relationships, and how your nervous system responds to daily life. You may notice changes in mood, concentration, or energy. Some people feel constantly on alert, others shut down, and many move between the two. For some, there is a clear “before and after” in their life; for others, there is a quieter sense of having experienced more than most people realize.
In our work together, we focus on building safety and softening the impact of trauma, including PTSD and C‑PTSD, on your daily life. We pay close attention to how it impacts your body, nervous system, and relationships and to the patterns and roles that once helped you cope but may now feel limiting or costly. We move at a pace that respects your capacity and what feels possible right now, with an emphasis on choice and partnership throughout the process.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Social Worker
Trauma can result from big or small events. The result for both is that the event remains frozen in our brain bodies affecting our present day. The use of EMDR allows the brain to reprocess and resolve traumatic events.

Trauma can be compounding and HARD when not addressed or managed properly. I love working with others who are ready to utilize ART or EMDR to process out their trauma and emotions.

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.
