Nancy Burns
Counselor/Therapist, JD, LMHC, LPC, MA, EMDR Certified
Childhood trauma is a series of experiences that are accumulated over time, and untangling them can feel overwhelming. It doesn’t have to involve physical abuse or be one big recognizable event; repeated instances of emotional neglect and not recieving appropriate support from your caregivers when going through a difficult time can be just as harmful. In fact, complex, developmental trauma (CPTSD) often has emotional neglect at its core. Neglect is what you should have had but didn’t get as a child; what didn’t happen that should have happened. Emotional neglect occurs when parents don’t respond to, acknowledge, or validate their child’s feelings often enough. Repeatedly not being listened to by your parents, being teased for expressing your emotions, or being told “if you don’t stop crying, I will give you something to cry about” all can take a toll. A child growing up in this environment, even if their parents "mean well" and provide for their physical needs, has no room for emotions. This child might have a hard time identifying, understanding and expressing their feelings. These difficulties can last into adulthood. Our childhood traumatic experiences continue to affect how we feel about ourselves when we become adults. Adults who experienced childhood emotional neglect often have life-long negative beliefs about themselves. They often feel lonely, empty, unimportant, different, and unfulfilled in life. This affects how we build relationships with other people, and how we handle conflict and stressful situations. Together, we will work to understand how your past experiences are impacting your current reality. We will chart a path forward, using EMDR, Somatic approaches and others, towards something healthier, more balanced and whole, so that you will feel more comfortable setting necessary boundaries with difficult people and living authentically. - - - “Healing is not about fixing what is broken, but about removing the barriers to what is already whole.” Faisal Ali Sarohi

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.

Tiffany O'Toole
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LCMHC, LPCC
Most of my professional experience has been working with military service members and their spouses. I've worked at several Marine Corps bases and am very familiar with Marine culture. In addition, I have five years of experience as a military spouse which allows me to connect and understand the military community’s issues from both a personal and professional level.
I utilize EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing), yoga, breathing techniques, meditation, and mindfulness as wellness tools. I am passionate about helping survivors of trauma reconnect with their bodies. I have provided free trauma sensitive yoga classes to sexual assault survivors and volunteer with local sexual assault service programs.

I utilize EMDR and IFS-informed parts work to help you process stuck memories so they no longer trigger a survival response in the present.

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.

Amazing Grace Psychiatric Services, PLLC
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, PMHNP, CNM, PMH-C
Post traumatic stress disorder can change the trajectory of our entire lives with a single event, or can be the result of chronic, repeated traumatic events. In either case, PTSD can be a very lonely disorder that continues to torment the individual and possibly their loved ones for years after the event has passed. Learning how to process trauma in therapy can sometimes be too overwhelming without medication management. Let's learn if medication can assist in managing some of those secondary effects of PTSD such as anxiety, panic and depression.

Christine Jones
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Highly stressful and/or adverse events can lead to lingering trauma memories. They tend to cause disturbance in our mind and bodies, sometimes in the form of higher anxiety, mood issues, negative relationship loops, greater avoidance, and a negative impression of self. Science-based treatments have demonstrated recovery from a diverse array of traumas that stem from childhood and adulthood. Treatment outcomes often include little to no emotional charge on the worst memories, an automatic balanced sense of self, and a lifting of past symptomatology.
