Trauma and PTSD
Brandon Zahl
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC
Unresolved trauma is a ghost that haunts us in every part of our lives. Mental, emotional and even physical consequences manifest from our past experiences, even if we don't remember them. We don't want to "go back there" yet we remain stuck, either consciously or unconsciously, until we tap into the body's innate ability to heal from the past. Together we'll work on connecting with a sense of safety and security in the present moment and work on tools for you to manage anxiety and depression. Then we'll gently begin revisiting the unprocessed trauma, bit by bit, until we've processed it through and you are free of the past.

Trauma and PTSD
Ross Kellogg, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Individual, Marriage, and Family Therapist (LMFT)
Single event trauma and long-term developmental trauma in childhood can each be overwhelming experiences that bring about an overwhelming set of symptoms that often end in a lot of isolation for the traumatized person. Therapy can help you re-engage with people and life again. A multi modality approach including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy couples with Object Relations Therapy and Internal Family Systems Therapy can often be an effective method for managing symptoms, getting back to feeling good, and accepting the full impact and meaning of the traumatic event(s).

Trauma and PTSD
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.

The effects of trauma can be isolating and deeply disorienting, often manifesting as anxiety, disconnection, or overwhelming emotional surges. My practice offers a gentle, client-centered approach to healing from trauma and PTSD. We will focus on establishing a profound sense of inner and outer safety, gradually exploring and integrating your experiences. This process cultivates self-compassion, strengthens your capacity for emotional regulation, and empowers you to restore your sense of wholeness, allowing you to live with greater freedom, connection, and well-being.

Trauma and PTSD
Matthew Wolfe
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, MHP
Trauma work can look many different ways and requires some specific understanding of the nervous system, attachment processes, and survival mechanisms. Once we have a good grounding we will be able to integrate the experiences you've gone through, diffusing their emotional activation, and addressing the longer term/subtle impacts that might still be disrupting your relationship to self and other.

Kelli Tahaney

I have a lot of experience working with individuals with trauma history, as it is often prevalent among individuals suffering from addiction. I've learned to help people process past trauma while also developing coping skills for the present, including replacing maladaptive coping mechanisms.

Trauma and PTSD
Gary D. Alexander
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS, MFT, NCC
Trauma can leave deep emotional and physiological imprints, often appearing as anxiety, intrusive memories, emotional numbness, or a persistent sense of being on guard. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is commonly associated with a single overwhelming event such as an accident, assault, or other life-threatening experience. Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (CPTSD), by contrast, often develops through repeated or long-term relational trauma—such as chronic emotional abuse, neglect, or unstable early environments—and can profoundly affect a person’s sense of identity, emotional regulation, and ability to feel safe in relationships.
In therapy we explore both the impact of these experiences and the ways the mind and body have learned to adapt in order to survive them. Rather than viewing trauma responses simply as symptoms to eliminate, our work approaches them as meaningful signals about what you have endured and how your nervous system has tried to protect you. As understanding deepens within the safety of the therapeutic relationship, many people begin to experience greater stability, renewed self-trust, and a gradual return of vitality in their lives.

Trauma and PTSD
Dr. Danielle Watkins at Sound Wellness Counseling PLLC
Counselor/Therapist, PhD, LMFT, LMHC, NCC, PMH-C
When specializing in trauma and PTSD treatment, I focus on supporting individuals who have experienced deeply distressing or life-threatening events, helping them process and heal from the lasting emotional, psychological, and physical effects. This work addresses symptoms such as flashbacks, nightmares, anxiety, hypervigilance, and avoidance, while providing a safe and structured space to explore traumatic experiences. Using evidence-based approaches like trauma-focused cognitive-behavioral therapy (TF-CBT) and grounding techniques, counseling helps clients regain a sense of safety, process difficult memories, and rebuild resilience. The goal is to empower individuals to reclaim control, restore emotional balance, and move toward healing and post-traumatic growth.

Trauma and PTSD
Michelle Meade
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC
My training is rooted in relational psychoanalysis, a profound (though not trendy) way to address the way trauma affects our relationships to self and others. If you've read What My Bones Know, by Stephanie Foo, it's in the same arena as Dr. Jacob Ham's approach. From that foundation, we often integrate Internal Family Systems (a kind of parts work) and somatic work to get beneath the surface and rebuild self-trust.

Ilyssa Swartout
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Trauma can leave lasting imprints—flashbacks, anxiety, emotional numbness, or a sense of being “stuck.” Healing begins with safety and understanding. In therapy, we’ll use evidence-based trauma approaches such as EMDR, Brainspotting, and DNMS to process and release painful memories at a pace that feels right for you. Together, we’ll work toward restoring trust in yourself and the world, helping you feel more grounded, empowered, and whole.

Trauma and PTSD
Weston Pew
Licensed Professional Counselor, LMHC, LCPC
Trauma can deeply affect every aspect of your life, leaving you feeling disconnected, on edge, or numb. It robs you of trust in yourself and creates a sense of fear or stagnation, cutting you off from your life force. Trauma recovery is about retrieval, integration, and circulation, reversing the "frozen" energy back into a vibrant, life-affirming force. My holistic, integrative approach to trauma recovery includes Narrative Therapy to reshape your story, Internal Family Systems (IFS) to engage with parts of yourself affected by trauma, Somatic Inquiry to connect mind and body, and Spiritual/Existential Inquiry to explore the deeper meanings of your experiences. Together, we will work to reclaim your identity, heal internal conflicts, release physical tension, and foster resilience, helping you navigate trauma and emerge stronger, more connected, and ready for post-traumatic growth. Begin your journey of healing by booking a free consultation today.

Trauma and PTSD
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.
