Debiruth Stanford
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, CDWF, CEQP
Sometimes the brain does not process intense or disturbing life events or stressors. This can lead to post-traumatic stress injury (PTSI, aka PTSD). A person with PTSI may experience anxiety, depression, physical pain, flashbacks, nightmares, heightened startle response, hypervigilance, and a host of other issues that make life difficult if not unbearable. I can assist in reducing or even neutralizing those effects through targeted therapy that helps the brain effectively process past events. My most-used modality is EMDR followed by Lifespan Integration, certain hypnotherapy techniques, and cognitive behavioral therapies. Let's talk if you are tired of living on the edge.

Umbrella Therapy - Andrew Baker
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Defining the Impact
Trauma: This is the emotional and physiological response to a deeply distressing or disturbing event. It can shatter your sense of security, making the world feel unpredictable and dangerous.
PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder): This can occur when the initial trauma doesn't "settle." It often involves intrusive memories (flashbacks), avoiding reminders of the event, and feeling constantly "on edge" or hyper-vigilant.
Our Path Forward: Safety First
Healing from trauma is not a race, and it is certainly not about being re-traumatized in the therapist's chair. Our work together is built on a foundation of predictability and choice.
Pacing and Control: We will go slowly. You are the one with your foot on the pedal. We only move toward difficult memories when you feel ready and regulated.
Grounding in the Present: Before we ever touch the pain of the past, we will focus on grounding techniques. These are practical tools designed to keep you tethered to the safety of the "here and now" when your mind tries to pull you back into a memory.
Safe Exposure: When the time is right, we will use gentle, managed exposure to help your brain process what happened. The goal is to transform "terrifying memories" into "past history"—things that happened to you, but no longer control you.
You don't have to stay trapped in the past. We will work together to build a present where you feel safe in your own skin again.

Brian Jones
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MEd, LMHC, LPC
I specifically focus on people with religious trauma. You might not have thought about your trauma as religious. But did you have a tough time growing up in a strict church environment? So did I. Maybe you didn't even realize the effect it had on you until much later in life.
I use Internal Family Systems therapy, which is an approach used specifically for trauma. However, it is not a PTSD approach. If you suffer from severe PTSD symptoms, I'm probably not the right fit for you. If you're not sure, schedule a free consultation. I can provide you with referrals to PTSD specialists if we decide that's appropriate.

Celeste Tomasulo
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
When we think of trauma, we typically think of Big “T” traumas: accidents, assaults, and overt physical danger. There are also Little “t” traumas which are chronic and ongoing moments where we’ve felt unsafe, unprotected, or in a constant state of survival (fight, flight, freeze, fawn). The brain interprets trauma from both real and perceived events. Trauma is not the event that happened, it's the internal reaction your body has in response. Using a trauma informed approach, I guide you through resourcing your body to address stored and unresolved trauma in a safe and grounded environment. This helps the body to reprocess these events and heal the parts holding onto these distressing memories and emotions.

Danielle Farabaugh
Psychologist, Psy.D.
My approach to treating trauma and PTSD is grounded in evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and trauma-focused interventions, including Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) and Prolonged Exposure (PE). I provide a safe and supportive environment where clients can process traumatic experiences at their own pace while learning skills to reduce distress and re-establish a sense of safety and control. Through structured, collaborative work, clients learn to reframe unhelpful beliefs, manage triggers, and build resilience, promoting healing and recovery from the impact of trauma.

EMDR therapy is an integrative psychotherapy and uses a technique called bilateral stimulation to repeatedly activate opposite sides of the brain. Dr Nelson uses EMDR to facilitate the bilateral stimulation. EMDR seems to help the brain reprocess the trapped memories is such a way that normal information processing is resumed. Dr. Nelson uses EMDR to help clients uncover and process beliefs that developed as the result of relational traumas, or childhood abuse and/or neglect

Arthur (Archie) Levine
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LMHC
Experiencing traumas can change the brain in profound ways, affecting the way a person perceives the world & reacts to triggering situations. The brain stores traumatic memories in a way that the person perceives the memory as being still in process. Through the use of Thought Pattern Management, Hypnotherapy, & Hypnotherapy, traumatic memories can be processed in a way that enables the brain to change the way it stores these memories, allowing the person to recognized that the event is in the past & that they are now safe. The person is then free to heal & grow, leaving the pain somewhere in the past.
