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.

Sarah Jacques
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSWC-C
Trauma can leave deep marks—flashbacks, anxiety, or feeling “on edge” long after the event has passed. PTSD may make it hard to trust, relax, or feel safe in your own body. In therapy, I provide a calm and supportive space where you can process what happened at your own pace. Together, we’ll work on reducing triggers, rebuilding a sense of safety, and creating tools that help you move forward with strength and resilience.

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.
For more on my approach to trauma work, you can read articles on my website.

Heather Clifft
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Trauma is an emotional response to a deeply distressing or disturbing event that overwhelms one's ability to cope, causes feeling of helplessness, and diminishes one's sens of self and the ability to feel a full range of emotions and experiences. The effects of trauma are deeply personal and overwhelming. As a therapist, it is a privilege to hold space for your story and pain. I am certified in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy and will partner with you to carve a path to recovery that is focused on your individual and unique needs.

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.

I offer comprehensive virtual neuropsychological assessments for individuals experiencing trauma-related symptoms, helping clients across PSYPACT states understand how traumatic experiences have impacted their cognitive and emotional functioning.

With specialized training in neuropsychology and years of experience across various clinical settings, I create thorough assessment reports that validate your experiences, differentiate PTSD from other conditions, and provide clear pathways toward healing through targeted treatment recommendations and practical coping strategies.
