Susan Spicer
Psychologist, PhD
My background as a licensed psychologist and a trauma survivor uniquely positions me to offer compassionate and effective support to individuals who have experienced trauma, whether it be abandonment or physical, emotional, or sexual abuse. My personal journey through trauma has given me firsthand insight into the complex and often challenging process of healing. This, combined with my education and professional experience, enables me to approach therapy with deep empathy, understanding, and a genuine connection to my clients' experiences. I believe in the power of resilience and the potential for growth in the face of adversity, and I am dedicated to helping survivors on their path to recovery and empowerment.
With EMDR as my primary treatment modality, I bring a wealth of experience and expertise in guiding individuals towards trauma healing. My approach focuses on collaboratively identifying trauma targets for processing while also prioritizing resourcing techniques to reestablish a sense of safety and inner peace. Through EMDR therapy, I help clients transform the way traumatic memories are stored in the brain, ultimately freeing them from flashbacks, nightmares, and avoidance patterns associated with trauma. My commitment is to support individuals on their journey to reclaim their lives and find lasting relief from the effects of trauma.

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.

Nathan Duff
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.Ed., LPC (CCTP, CYMHS, C-DBT, C-PD)
I’ve been working with trauma, particularly sexual trauma, since the 1990s. As a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP), my approach is slow and careful. While some people are comfortable jumping right into these stories, for most people it's very difficult to even begin the discussion. I understand how difficult it can be to even begin discussing trauma, so I always start by negotiating *how* we talk about it in a way that feels safe. My work has included everything from sexual trauma, to combat, to EMS, and many complex trauma cases. Possibly because I'm male I've seen an unusual number of survivors of female sexual perpetrators, a group that face some unusual challenges that aren't often discussed.

Dr. Jenny Shields

Trauma has a way of rewriting your story without your permission. Even when you tell yourself you’ve moved past it, memories can suddenly feel overwhelming, trust becomes harder, and your mind and body stay on high alert. Dr. Shields understands how exhausting and isolating this experience can be. She provides compassionate, specialized support grounded in highly effective trauma-specific approaches, including Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Prolonged Exposure (PE), and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). With care, empathy, and patience, she’ll help you rebuild your sense of safety, regain your clarity, and reclaim your story—on your own terms.

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.

Catherine Bitney
Psychologist, PhD, Licensed Psychologist
Working on trauma is very difficult. I commend all my clients who show up to do this kind of work. It's a long road and often starting therapy stirs things up and can make things more challenging for a short while. If you're plagued by trauma responses, please find a therapist you trust. These things don't typically just go away and there is a lot of evidence that trauma therapy works!

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.
