Prolonged Exposure Therapy (PE) is my psychotherapy model of choice when it comes to trauma processing. It worked wonders for the combat veterans and sexual trauma survivors I worked with at the Veterans Administration.

PTSD/Trauma
Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
For more than 33 years, I’ve worked with adults whose lives have been shaped by experiences that were overwhelming, prolonged, or carried alone for a long time. Many are thoughtful, highly responsible people who have learned to keep going, even when something inside feels stuck, numb, or on edge.
This often includes early family dynamics that were never named as “trauma,” but still live in your body and relationships. When these kinds of experiences are ongoing or rooted in early life, they are often described as complex trauma, C‑PTSD, or developmental trauma.
Difficult or frightening experiences can also arise from single incidents or periods of crisis, such as medical trauma, accidents, or other shocks. These experiences may or may not meet criteria for PTSD, but they can still leave a lasting imprint.
These experiences can influence how you understand yourself, how you move through relationships, and how your nervous system responds to daily life. You may notice changes in mood, concentration, or energy. Some people feel constantly on alert, others shut down, and many move between the two. For some, there is a clear “before and after” in their life; for others, there is a quieter sense of having experienced more than most people realize.
In our work together, we focus on building safety and softening the impact of trauma, including PTSD and C‑PTSD, on your daily life. We pay close attention to how it impacts your body, nervous system, and relationships and to the patterns and roles that once helped you cope but may now feel limiting or costly. We move at a pace that respects your capacity and what feels possible right now, with an emphasis on choice and partnership throughout the process.

One of my primary specialties is helping clients work through early childhood trauma, and many of the clients who I work with have had experiences early in their lives that affect their relationships and day-to-day experiences in the present.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, DBH, LCSW
At Pathways To Connection, we utilize a variety of treatment modalities to address trauma and PTSD symptoms. Based on a trauma informed perspective, we recognize that how events in our lives affect us is individual and personal. It is not the same for everyone.

Madison Zimbal
Pre-Licensed Professional, MA counseling intern under supervision
Trauma and PTSD can impact every part of life, how safe you feel in your body, how you relate to others, and how you interpret everyday experiences. Symptoms may show up as anxiety, emotional overwhelm, hypervigilance, difficulty trusting, intrusive memories, or feeling disconnected from yourself. In trauma work, my priority is creating a safe and supportive environment where healing does not feel rushed or overwhelming. We begin by building emotional regulation skills and stability, so clients feel more grounded before moving into deeper processing work. I recognize that trauma is not just something that is “talked about,” but something that is also held in the body and nervous system.
I am trained in Brainspotting and use this approach to help clients access and process traumatic experiences that may be difficult to reach through traditional talk therapy alone. Brainspotting supports the brain’s natural capacity to process and release stored trauma in a focused, contained, and client-led way. This allows healing to unfold at a pace that feels safe and manageable. Alongside trauma processing, I integrate CBT and DBT-informed skills to support coping, emotional regulation, and present-day functioning. This combination helps clients not only process the past, but also feel more stable and empowered in their daily lives. For clients who desire it, Christian counseling can also be incorporated, offering a space where faith, hope, and spiritual grounding can support the healing journey. I believe that restoration is possible, even after deeply painful experiences. My goal is to help clients move from survival mode into a place of greater safety, connection, and internal steadiness—where the past no longer holds the same level of control over the present.

Orka Health and Wellness, PLLC
Counselor/Therapist, MSW, LICSW, LMFT, LPCC
Healing the Roots of Trauma
Whether you have experienced a single overwhelming event or years of chronic stress (complex trauma), we provide a safe, regulated environment where you can finally begin to process and release the weight of the past.
Our Specialized Trauma Tools
Traditional talk therapy can sometimes reach a plateau when it comes to trauma. That is why we utilize advanced, "bottom-up" neurological approaches that work directly with the brain’s survival centers:
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing): A gold-standard treatment that helps the brain "reprocess" traumatic memories so they no longer trigger intense emotional or physical pain.
Brainspotting: A powerful method that uses your field of vision to find where trauma is held in the subcortical brain, allowing for deep emotional release and healing.
DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy): Focuses on emotional regulation and distress tolerance, giving you the skills to manage "triggers" in your daily life.
Youth-Focused Trauma Care (Ages 10+): We use specialized interactive software to help children and teens express and process difficult experiences in a way that feels safe and manageable.
Our Collaborative Healing Process
We never rush the trauma process. You are the leader of your journey, and we are your expert guides.

Briana Marshall
Marriage and Family Therapist, PhD, LMFT
Sometimes the impact of past experiences doesn’t show up all at once, it lives in your body, your reactions, and the ways you try to protect yourself. Clients often come in feeling triggered, emotionally overwhelmed, or disconnected without fully understanding why. Therapy offers a safe space to process those experiences at your pace, without re-traumatization. Together, we’ll work toward helping you feel more grounded, in control, and safe within yourself again.
