Karen Baumstark, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., CMHIMP, CTACC
None of us can escape some level of trauma; inevitably, it will be a part of life. How much it affects us, however, depends on many factors including the nervous system we were born with, our outer resources, and how much relational support we receive to help us recover from the trauma. Many people do not have access to adequate resources to help them recover from trauma (and this is very subjective and personal, varying from person to person), and the trauma continues to affect them in (sometimes subtle, but still) impactful ways. If certain factors come together, PTSD may develop out of trauma. Often clients feel like they have failed because they can't completely "get over" their PTSD reactions. I have often reminded clients that PTSD is "the gift that keeps on giving". It can be very hard, perhaps impossible, to completely eradicate PTSD reactions, because the reaction is not just of the mind, it is of the whole body. My approach to helping clients with trauma and PTSD involves looking at it holistically and working to understand how the trauma changed you, your reaction across many facets of your life (thoughts, feelings, habits, behaviors, self-care or lack thereof, expectations, how you view the world), and then working on replacing what is harmful with what is helpful. The goal isn't to completely get rid of the PTSD symptoms (which is likely impossible) but rather to dramatically reduce its effect on you, so you can live your best life, and so an occasional symptom breaking through will not derail you.

Jason Herr
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I work with individuals who have experienced trauma and its lasting emotional, psychological, and physiological effects. With extensive clinical experience treating trauma across community mental health and private practice settings, I incorporate biological and neurological education to help clients understand how trauma impacts the brain, body, and nervous system. I also help clients learn how to regulate the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, building skills to reduce reactivity, increase grounding, and restore a sense of internal safety. Together, we process traumatic experiences at a safe pace while strengthening emotional regulation and resilience. My approach is compassionate, structured, and trauma-informed, supporting clients as they move toward healing and integration.

Philadelphia Couples Therapy
Psychologist, PsyD
Trauma manifests in a myriad of ways in our minds and bodies. Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can result from experiencing or witnessing a life threatening event or significant loss, whereas complex post-traumatic stress disorder (CPTSD) may result from chronic abuse, neglect or other forms of mistreatment that happened repeatedly over a period of time. These experiences of intense fear make an imprint on the nervous system, impacting our physical and emotional responses to our partners, children, families, friends, and colleagues. Often our inclination is to avoid, ignore or push through these traumas in an effort to minimize the associated pain. However these efforts are futile as unresolved traumas create invisible barriers that hinder the development of a strong sense of self and healthy relationships.
In romantic relationships, trauma can disrupt our ability to trust, to feel safe emotionally and physically, and can interfere with the enjoyment of sex and intimacy. These impacts of trauma may ebb and flow over time, intensifying during big life transitions and resurfacing as we age. Whether you are seeking individual or couples therapy, the therapists at PCT create a trauma-informed space to process trauma, understand its impacts on your relationships and build coping skills to move forward. We are patient and emphasize building a trusting relationship together. Therapists at PCT understand that healing from trauma takes time and progress may not always be linear, but that this work leads to healthier relationships and a stronger sense of self-worth.

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.

Ashley Mason
Counselor/Therapist, CMHC, LMHC
Trauma can stay with you long after the event is over — showing up as flashbacks, nightmares, anxiety, or a constant sense of being on edge. Many of my clients feel stuck in survival mode, unable to relax or trust that they are safe, even when life looks stable on the outside. In therapy, I provide a steady, compassionate space to process what you’ve been through, make sense of how it still affects you, and begin to release its grip. Over time, you can feel more grounded in your body, calmer in your mind, and more free to live fully in the present rather than being pulled back into the past.

The goal is to reduce the ongoing impact of trauma, increase a sense of control, and support integration of past experiences without becoming overwhelmed.

Jeni Gutke
Licensed Professional Counselor, MC, LPC
Traumatic events, big and small change feelings of safety and power as well as responsibility and self worth. Often times with PTSD, we are taking on too much responsibility for past events, which are crippling the ability to move forward and be present. Through a combination of Modalities are minds are able to clear the negative beliefs and rewire the brain to help install adaptive truth about ourselves (that our own system already possesses!) and empower us to heal and move forward in new ways, with self trust and tools to identify triggers as trailheads for healing. This is very overlooked state, effecting many Individuals, manifesting as anxiety, lack of attention, difficulty sleeping, adrenal fatigue, somatic symptoms of all kinds and chronic illnesses. When we address these through well researched modalities, we are able to clear past trauma and trust ourselves and live again in self-lead energy!

Shannon Gorres
Life Coach, MDiv, MA
My understanding of trauma has shifted along with international research on why some events create lasting challenging effects for some people but not for others. Our collective awareness has gone from thinking, “What's wrong with you?” to asking, “What happened to you?” and now focusing on, “Who was there for you?”
A simple retelling of a traumatic experience does not always deeply heal the one who suffers. While it can feel good to be truly heard, especially for those who have never told it before and need real empathy, repeatedly telling the story does not often change the subconscious beliefs implanted during the trauma or the nervous system’s reactivity.
Instead, we build a new relationship with a traumatic experience by re-approaching the memory and inviting a shift. Often the shift is around “Who could have been there for you.” While in factual reality, no one may have stopped the trauma, we can access another perspective that enables our bodies, hearts, and minds to feel supported. We can do this many ways: through role play, through calling in ancestors or pop stars or our highest selves, or by letting our wise adult-self take over the situation. Or we may use drawing materials or nature to discover a new part of the experience we didn’t realize before.
I've taken many trainings in the origins and effects of trauma and PTSD, and I find working with the nervous system and imaginal realm (creative liminal space) highly effective. I'm not a licensed mental health therapist; I'm a spiritual life coach, so my work is integrative. I offer: calm spaciousness & empathy as you talk, embodied processing options (drawing, clay work, self soothing), and inner parts work (mediated inner dialogue or a “committee of voices,” similar to Soulwork or Internal Family Systems).
Then we make a plan to implement the new shift into everyday life.

Jordan Dye - Prepared Acceptance
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, EMT
In high-stakes professions like the military, emergency medicine, and first response, trauma and PTSD are often the invisible scars of the job. You are trained to compartmentalize and keep moving, but eventually, those suppressed experiences can resurface as hyper-vigilance, intrusive memories, or a persistent sense of being "on edge." Having served as a National Guard Soldier and worked in the Emergency Department, I understand that your trauma isn't just a memory; it’s a physiological response to the extreme environments you’ve navigated. My approach is direct and evidence-based, utilizing tools like EMDR to help your brain process these events so they no longer dictate your present. We focus on taking the "sting" out of the past, helping you move from a state of survival back into a life of clarity and control.
