Allison Bernardo
Pre-Licensed Professional, Resident in Counseling
Trauma can affect the way you think, feel, and relate to others long after the event has passed. Whether your trauma stems from childhood experiences, family relationships, abuse, loss, or other life events, I provide a compassionate, trauma-informed space to help you process your experiences, reduce distressing symptoms, and move toward healing at your own pace.

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.

PTSD/Trauma
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.

Trauma and PTSD are supported through individual counseling. Some counselors offer art therapy and we have one counselor who does EMDR.

Meredith Luttrell
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, LCPC, Clinical Supervisor
Trauma has a way of living in the body, in relationships, and in the stories we tell ourselves about who we are and what we deserve. With years of experience working with survivors of sexual, emotional, and physical trauma, I offer a safe, non-judgmental space to process what has happened and begin reclaiming your life from it. I also recognize that trauma rarely travels alone — it often underlies eating disorders, anxiety, depression, and relationship difficulties — and I'm skilled at holding the full complexity of that overlap.

MindOverHealing Therapies
Hypnotherapist, CHt
Hypnotherapy can be instrumental in addressing trauma and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Trauma often leaves deep emotional scars that manifest as anxiety, flashbacks, nightmares, and heightened stress responses. Traditional therapeutic approaches may not always reach these deeply embedded issues, but hypnotherapy offers a unique avenue to access and heal the subconscious mind where trauma is often stored. Furthermore, hypnotherapy can help individuals build positive coping mechanisms and resilience. Techniques such as guided imagery and positive suggestion can instill a sense of safety and empowerment, replacing the negative emotions tied to traumatic events.

Symptoms of Trauma and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder can stem from ordinary life stressors such as divorce, illness, accidents, and bereavement to extreme experiences of war, torture, rape, and genocide.
