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.

Kreins Psychological Services
Psychologist, PhD, PsyD
As a psychologist specializing in trauma and PTSD, my treatment approach is rooted in compassion, safety, and evidence-based interventions. Through therapies such as cognitive processing therapy (CPT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), and trauma-focused cognitive-behavioral therapy (TF-CBT), I collaborate with individuals to process traumatic memories, challenge negative beliefs, and develop effective coping strategies. Creating a safe therapeutic environment is paramount, allowing clients to explore their experiences at their own pace while feeling supported and validated. Psychoeducation about trauma responses and self-regulation techniques empowers individuals to manage symptoms and regain a sense of control over their lives. Additionally, I integrate mindfulness practices, relaxation techniques, and grounding exercises to promote emotional regulation and resilience. My goal is to facilitate healing, restore a sense of safety, and empower individuals to thrive beyond their traumatic experiences.

Tracey Knows
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Healing from trauma and PTSD requires a compassionate, structured approach that acknowledges both emotional and physiological responses to past experiences. I provide a safe, supportive space to process trauma at a pace that feels right, using evidence-based techniques like trauma-informed cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and somatic awareness. By addressing triggers, regulating the nervous system, and reframing distressing memories, individuals can regain a sense of control, safety, and self-trust. My approach emphasizes resilience, emotional integration, and reclaiming a life not defined by past trauma.

Dr. Linda G. Ritchie, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., LPC, LMFT, Certified Hypnotherapist
If you’ve experienced trauma, you may feel like your mind and body are still reacting as if the event is happening now. You might have intrusive memories, heightened anxiety, difficulty relaxing, or feel triggered by situations that don’t seem to make sense. Even when you know you’re safe, your system may not fully believe it—leaving you feeling on edge, disconnected, or exhausted.
I help clients process and resolve trauma in a way that feels safe, structured, and effective. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), we work to understand and shift the thoughts that keep you feeling stuck or overwhelmed. With clinical hypnosis, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT/tapping), and NLP, we gently access and process the emotional patterns stored at a deeper level—helping your mind and body update their response to the present. I also incorporate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help you reconnect with your life, your values, and a sense of forward movement.
What’s often missing isn’t awareness—you may already understand what happened and why it affected you. What’s missing is a way to help your nervous system fully process the experience so it no longer reacts as if you’re still in danger. Without that, the symptoms can persist, even when you’re trying to move on.
The fact that you’re here suggests you’re ready for relief. If you’re willing to approach this in a supportive and effective way, I can help you reduce triggers, feel more grounded, and regain a sense of safety, control, and peace in your life.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-S
I am a trauma specialist. Trauma — whether from childhood, relationships, military service, first responder work, or sudden life events — leaves lasting imprints on the nervous system and on how you see yourself and the world. I use trauma‑focused approaches like EMDR and IFS to help you process what happened with safety and clarity, and skills‑based approaches like DBT and CBT to support you in building steadier, healthier ways of coping. My style is gentle and directive. Together, we work to calm your nervous system, untangle the patterns that trauma created, and help you feel grounded, empowered, and more fully yourself again.

Tara Murphy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Trauma leaves lasting imprints on the body, mind, and relationships, and no two experiences of healing look the same. I have extensive experience working with military members, children in the foster care system facing complex trauma, and adults recovering from childhood neglect or abuse. My approach is trauma-informed and highly individualized, integrating IFS, attachment-focused therapy, mindfulness, somatic awareness, family systems, and psychodynamic work. I draw on a range of evidence-based and relational approaches to fit each client’s needs. I also collaborate closely with prescribers when helpful and provide careful diagnostic clarity to distinguish trauma from dissociative disorders, depression, or personality patterns.

Together, we’ll work on reducing triggers, rebuilding a sense of safety, and creating tools that help you move forward with strength and resilience.

Rising Phoenix Therapy - Dempsey Young, Psy.D.
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
Trauma is my BIGGEST specialty and have worked a lot across my entire career in this area. Trauma affects everyone differently, and I know that each person's journey through it is unique. Over the years, I’ve learned and applied a variety of proven techniques to help people in ways that feel right for them. Trauma can show up in many ways, like struggling with self-esteem, feeling shame, staying in unhealthy relationships, having trouble setting boundaries, times of dissociation, or feeling stuck in fight/flight/fawn mode. It can also lead to anxiety, depression, and nightmares. I believe that, together, we can work toward not just surviving, but truly healing and thriving on your path forward.

Maria Jose Rendon
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I work with adults navigating trauma and PTSD, including the kind that doesn't always fit a single dramatic event, ongoing racialized stress, immigration-related trauma, or the accumulated weight of navigating institutions and environments not built with you in mind. My approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, trained through the Beck Institute, to help process what happened and rebuild a sense of safety and stability. Many of my clients are first-generation professionals or Latinx adults for whom trauma is layered with cultural and immigration history. I offer sessions in English or Spanish.

Shay Malone
Pre-Licensed Professional, Ed.S., Resident in Counseling
I specialize in working with clients who are experiencing the ongoing effects of childhood abuse and neglect. This includes emotional neglect as well, which is often a surprise for clients who remember their home as a happy place. Chronic childhood stress is one of the most common causes of anxiety and depression, as well as autoimmune disorders. Adults who had chronic childhood stress are also far more likely to end up in emotionally unsafe relationships.

There are the events that hurt people, and then the aftermath of those events that can go on much longer than the events, themselves.
