Kimberly Zacher
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LPC, SAC
Trauma can leave lasting imprints on the body, mind, and nervous system, affecting how you feel, relate, and respond to the world around you. Post-traumatic stress may involve flashbacks, anxiety, hypervigilance, emotional numbness, or difficulty feeling safe. I provide a trauma-informed, compassionate approach to help you process what happened without retraumatization. Using modalities such as EMDR, somatic therapy, sensorimotor treatment, and parts work, we focus on restoring a sense of safety, connection, and control. Healing from trauma is possible, and you do not have to go through it alone.

Dr. Colby Cohen-Archer
Psychologist, PhD
Trauma lives in our bodies, wreaking havoc on your nervous system, emotional reactivity, and relationships. Whether your trauma comes from early childhood experiences or a traumatic childbirth experience, we can work together to help you heal. I will help you tell your story in a setting of safety. If you prefer not to rehash what happened, we can help your body and mind process the lingering emotions, body sensations, and intrusive images using an eye movement therapy called Accelerated Resolution Therapy. This helps reduce symptoms in just a few sessions, often only one session. Clients says they are surprised at the quick relief from ART. Using traditional talk therapy or ART, we can continue to process what happened and help you learn to relate to the world in a different way, or help you prepare for future situations that are similar. Many women who have experienced traumatic births find ART helpful in enabling them to decide whether to have more children from a clear mind and not from a place of fear.

Norma J. Perez
Psychologist, PhD
I have been working with individuals who have trauma and PTSD for over 20 years. For many years this was my main focus and as a evidence-based therapist I learned many different ways of treatment and developed a hybrid approach that I taught to other therapist for years. I start by helping you reduce your symptoms, then if your willing we re-process your trauma and help you look at it in a different way by identifying what is your "stuck point" and working to move that along. That in itself can also reduce remaining symptoms. With what is left, I help you move forward with your remaining symptoms and do what make you happy, despite of your symptoms. It may make you anxious to do something but at the end of the day, the joy you felt makes it worth it. Again, remember, you would be doing this with much less anxiety than when you started therapy. This a is a proven approach that has worked with so many individuals with trauma.

Maria Jose Rendon
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I work with adults navigating trauma and PTSD, including the kind that doesn't always fit a single dramatic event, ongoing racialized stress, immigration-related trauma, or the accumulated weight of navigating institutions and environments not built with you in mind. My approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, trained through the Beck Institute, to help process what happened and rebuild a sense of safety and stability. Many of my clients are first-generation professionals or Latinx adults for whom trauma is layered with cultural and immigration history. I offer sessions in English or Spanish.

Dr. Sarah Pouliot
Psychologist, PhD, LP
Trauma did not wait for consent; Therapy must. While many different therapeutic modalities exist for the treatment of trauma and PTSD, what remains essential is the thoughtful and careful negotiation of pacing between therapist and client such that the therapeutic process feels as manageable and tolerable as possible. Given that trauma so often results from harmful relational dynamics that force agendas or remove personal agency, trauma therapy must offer a healing space that does not seek to rush, pressure, or impinge. Rather, and in my professional opinion, it's imperative that trauma therapy respect the client's experience of what feels manageable at any given moment in therapeutic time and space, working to avoid unnecessary setback and potential retraumatization. I feel this is best achieved through the development of a reliable therapeutic rapport and relationship that functions to carefully and mindfully co-monitor and co-negotiate the everchanging and expanding dynamics between therapist and client. Put another way, your therapy should not be forced into someone else's timeframe or methodology; it should be allowed to develop in step with your specific history, unique needs, and comfort level. Please refer to my Trauma Blog on my website (pouliotpsychologicalservices.com) for more information on my approach to the treatment of trauma.

Karen Baumstark, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., CMHIMP, CTACC
None of us can escape some level of trauma; inevitably, it will be a part of life. How much it affects us, however, depends on many factors including the nervous system we were born with, our outer resources, and how much relational support we receive to help us recover from the trauma. Many people do not have access to adequate resources to help them recover from trauma (and this is very subjective and personal, varying from person to person), and the trauma continues to affect them in (sometimes subtle, but still) impactful ways. If certain factors come together, PTSD may develop out of trauma. Often clients feel like they have failed because they can't completely "get over" their PTSD reactions. I have often reminded clients that PTSD is "the gift that keeps on giving". It can be very hard, perhaps impossible, to completely eradicate PTSD reactions, because the reaction is not just of the mind, it is of the whole body. My approach to helping clients with trauma and PTSD involves looking at it holistically and working to understand how the trauma changed you, your reaction across many facets of your life (thoughts, feelings, habits, behaviors, self-care or lack thereof, expectations, how you view the world), and then working on replacing what is harmful with what is helpful. The goal isn't to completely get rid of the PTSD symptoms (which is likely impossible) but rather to dramatically reduce its effect on you, so you can live your best life, and so an occasional symptom breaking through will not derail you.

Brittney Schultz Counseling
Licensed Professional Counselor, MAC, BSP, LPC
Brainspotting suggests that the brain can heal itself from inside. It aims to stimulate the brain’s healing ability by evoking and releasing the negative emotions and experiences that have been stored in it. It does this by identifying an eye position that triggers and releases these emotions.
Brainspotting works with the deep brain and the body through its direct access to the autonomic and limbic systems within the body’s central nervous system.

Kari Carter
Life Coach, APSATS certified, ACC, CPC, ADOH
Betrayal Trauma cam present with symptoms similar to PTSD - intrusive thoughts, hypervigilance, emotional flooding, sleep disruption, anxiety, and difficulty feeling safe. When trust has been shattered through infidelity, sexual addiction, or chronic deception, the nervous system often remains in a prolonged state of threat response.
I specialize in trauma-informed, partner-sensitive care that focuses first on stabilization and nervous system regulation before deeper processing. My work helps clients understand their trauma responses, reduce symptom intensity, establish protective boundaries, and regain a sense of internal safety. Healing is possibly when trauma is acknowledged and treated with informed, compassionate support.

Dr. Adam Shafer (Chicago, IL)
Psychologist, Psy. D., M.A.
When the foundation of trust shaken (if not feeling broken) through experiences of trauma, the approach to restoring one's life must always be one of sensitivity, patience, and compassion. Without this, there will always be a risk that it will never feel safe enough to heal.

Soma Aloia, SoulWork Somatics & Somatic Counseling
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LCST, HES
Complex trauma and CPTSD stem from more than just events in our adult years. These are usually foundational from early developmental trauma and childhood trauma, and can be worked with and healed at any age.
Trauma is not only what happened to you. It is also how those experiences continue to live within the body and nervous system long after events have passed. Using a gentle, body-centered approach, we'll work at a pace that feels safe - restoring connection, resilience, and the freedom to live more fully in the present.
Therapy helps restore safety, connection, and the capacity to move forward without remaining organized around survival. You will learn how to reparent the little ones inside and have an easier relationship with yourself and your body.

PSYCHe, PLLC
Psychologist, PhD, DBT-LBC™, LPC, PsyD, MSW, Marriage and Family Counselor, LCSW
Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can develop from being exposed to a wide variety of traumatic events such as motor vehicle crashes, home accidents, sexual assault, domestic violence, or being involved in a natural disaster. As the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-V) describes it, PTSD happens after “being witness to or being exposed to situations involving threatened or actual serious physical harm or death.” But it’s important to keep in mind that experiencing a trauma doesn’t mean a person will absolutely develop PTSD.

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.
