PTSD/Trauma
Ayden Ferstenberg
Psychologist, PsyD
Trauma can continue to shape how you experience yourself, other people, and the world long after the original events have ended. You may understand intellectually that you're no longer in danger, yet still find yourself reacting intensely to certain situations, struggling to trust others, feeling disconnected from your emotions, or repeating patterns you wish you could leave behind. My approach to trauma therapy goes beyond recounting what happened or learning to manage symptoms. We work at a pace that respects your capacity, exploring how past experiences continue to influence your present while creating new emotional experiences that can help shift deeply learned expectations about safety, connection, and your own worth. I work especially well with people who experienced relational trauma, narcissistic abuse, childhood abuse or neglect, or complex trauma.

PTSD/Trauma
Paul T. Haefner, PhD
Psychologist, PhD
Trauma lives in the body as much as in memory, showing up as hypervigilance, flashbacks, numbness, or reactions that feel far bigger than the moment warrants. It makes sense: your system learned to protect you. I offer a careful, paced approach that respects that wisdom while helping you feel safe in your own skin again, so the past loosens its grip and the present becomes yours to live. This includes trauma tied to falls, injuries, and frightening experiences with horses.

Renee Woodall
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Trauma can leave you feeling stuck, on edge, or disconnected from yourself and others. Even experiences from years ago can continue to affect your emotions, relationships, and sense of safety. Using EMDR and a warm, steady approach, I help clients process painful memories and reduce the emotional intensity of the past so you can feel more settled, supported, and present in your life today.

Gina Majestro
Psychologist, PsyD, HSP, HSPP
Does this sound familiar?
You feel isolated and alone - even when you aren’t.
Intense emotions suddenly flood your everyday life.
You are stuck in relationship patterns that just aren’t working anymore.
You try so hard to manage your emotions - only to feel worse moments later.
You are tired of being told to, “breathe,” “go to yoga” or “use the skills.”
You are critical towards yourself - and maybe those around you.
As Difficult As It May Be To Believe At Times,
Your survival system is doing what it is designed to do - protect you from harm.
It may be keeping you on high alert, constantly scanning for threats, or shutting down and disconnecting to shield you from the pain?
You Don’t Need More Coping Advice, You Need Relief.
Many of our clients come to us with long treatment histories - they’ve tried coping skills, thought challenging, self-help resources and behavior change - but the pain persists. With each failed treatment, they feel more shame, self-blame and hopelessness. But, we want you to know, it’s not your fault - those treatments were never designed to address the core of your suffering.

PTSD/Trauma
Michele Robison, PhD
Psychologist, PhD
I have a great deal of training and experience in treating trauma. PTSD can be the result of a single trauma, repeated trauma or complex trauma. It is important to first understand one's personal history. After obtaining a history, coping strategies and stabilization are helpful when one feels triggered by the events of their life. Following history and stabilization, I utilize EMDR in order to help my clients process past and/or recent trauma. EMDR is an evidenced based treatment that is very beneficial in treating trauma.

Kelsey Ellis
Psychologist, Ph.D., LCP
Trauma can continue to shape how you feel, respond, and relate long after the original experience has passed. It may show up as hypervigilance, emotional numbing, reactivity, or a persistent sense of being on edge. Many women find themselves trying to function while their nervous system remains stuck in protective patterns. In our work together, we focus on understanding these responses, gently increasing your sense of safety and regulation, and building new ways of relating to yourself and others that are not defined by past experiences.

Denise Jones
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW, LCSW-C
As a Certified EMDR Therapist and an Approved EMDRIA consultant, the bulk of my clients come to me for trauma, PTSD, or Complex PTSD (sometimes known as developmental trauma). A common myth about EMDR is that it re-traumatizes the client, but when it's done properly that's not true. Trauma victims who receive any kind of therapy (not just EMDR!) need and deserve to be attended to slowly and listened to with profound sensitivity to their lived experience in order to bring them relief without re-traumatization. In addition to being an EMDR therapist, I am a trauma-informed practitioner who understands the importance of using the relational aspects of EMDR to help clients move through and process their trauma while feeling protected and safe.

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.
