PTSD/Trauma
Philadelphia Couples Therapy
Psychologist, PsyD
Trauma manifests in a myriad of ways in our minds and bodies. Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can result from experiencing or witnessing a life threatening event or significant loss, whereas complex post-traumatic stress disorder (CPTSD) may result from chronic abuse, neglect or other forms of mistreatment that happened repeatedly over a period of time. These experiences of intense fear make an imprint on the nervous system, impacting our physical and emotional responses to our partners, children, families, friends, and colleagues. Often our inclination is to avoid, ignore or push through these traumas in an effort to minimize the associated pain. However these efforts are futile as unresolved traumas create invisible barriers that hinder the development of a strong sense of self and healthy relationships.
In romantic relationships, trauma can disrupt our ability to trust, to feel safe emotionally and physically, and can interfere with the enjoyment of sex and intimacy. These impacts of trauma may ebb and flow over time, intensifying during big life transitions and resurfacing as we age. Whether you are seeking individual or couples therapy, the therapists at PCT create a trauma-informed space to process trauma, understand its impacts on your relationships and build coping skills to move forward. We are patient and emphasize building a trusting relationship together. Therapists at PCT understand that healing from trauma takes time and progress may not always be linear, but that this work leads to healthier relationships and a stronger sense of self-worth.

Kreins Psychological Services
Psychologist, PhD, PsyD
As a psychologist specializing in trauma and PTSD, my treatment approach is rooted in compassion, safety, and evidence-based interventions. Through therapies such as cognitive processing therapy (CPT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), and trauma-focused cognitive-behavioral therapy (TF-CBT), I collaborate with individuals to process traumatic memories, challenge negative beliefs, and develop effective coping strategies. Creating a safe therapeutic environment is paramount, allowing clients to explore their experiences at their own pace while feeling supported and validated. Psychoeducation about trauma responses and self-regulation techniques empowers individuals to manage symptoms and regain a sense of control over their lives. Additionally, I integrate mindfulness practices, relaxation techniques, and grounding exercises to promote emotional regulation and resilience. My goal is to facilitate healing, restore a sense of safety, and empower individuals to thrive beyond their traumatic experiences.

Allen Wood
Psychologist, Psy.D.
As a psychologist specializing in the full range of trauma, I integrate Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) with Internal Family Systems (IFS) to reinforce a sense of safety, control, and worthiness. I draw upon the principles of Interpersonal Neurobiology to understand how our nervous system is forced to adapt in extreme and overwhelming situations, and how those adaptations can be reinforced or blocked by our relationships, internal conflicts, and past experiences. In our work together, you can expect a high level of collaboration, deeply compassionate understanding, and an abundance of metaphors as we tailor the therapy process to your needs, strengths, and situation.

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.

Dr. Jeannine Pablo
Psychologist, LP, LCMHC, MLADC
I have spent the majority of my practice focusing on helping people who have a history of trauma. Traumatic experiences can overwhelm the nervous system, leaving individuals stuck in chronic survival states long after the threat has passed. Utilizing evidence-based, trauma-informed modalities—including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT)—I help clients safely process acute, chronic, and complex trauma (C-PTSD). Our clinical work focuses on reducing hypervigilance, dismantling intrusive flashbacks, and restoring a deep sense of somatic safety and personal autonomy.

Dan Walinsky
Psychologist, PhD
I've found that the range of traumas that people experience disrupts our experience of day-to-day life and relationships in so many ways. So many people who've experienced patterns of traumatizing, persistently invalidating, or minimizing experiences have found coping strategies to manage the profound impacts of trauma but eventually find that those strategies no longer work. Together, we will look at the impact of traumas and using a range of practices, which potentially include EMDR, internal parts work, and polyvagal theory, we will work to supportively rebuild a sense of self-guided trust in the world.
