Dr. Amanda Malak
Psychologist, Clinical Psychologist
I specialize in helping individuals who have experienced trauma or are dealing with PTSD. My approach includes trauma-informed therapies like CPT, PE, somatic experiencing, and other techniques designed to help clients process and heal from their traumatic experiences. I work with clients to address symptoms like flashbacks, anxiety, and avoidance, and to help them regain a sense of safety, control, and empowerment. My goal is to create a supportive environment where clients can work through their trauma at their own pace, build resilience, and ultimately move toward healing and recovery. Referrals to EMDR or medication management are offered when appropriate.

Amanda Ezell
Counselor/Therapist, LPC (AL & GA), LMHC (FL), NCC, BC-TMH
Trauma can continue affecting the present long after an experience has ended, sometimes through hypervigilance, avoidance, anxiety, emotional overwhelm, disconnection, or difficulty feeling safe. I provide trauma-informed therapy that respects your pace and individual experiences. Our work may include understanding trauma responses, recognizing triggers and patterns, developing regulation skills, and helping you regain a greater sense of agency in your life.

Andrew McKenzie, Psy.D.
Psychologist
Trauma often leaves us responding to the present as though the past is still happening. Many reactions that feel confusing or frustrating today once served an important protective purpose, even if they no longer fit your current life. Through a compassionate, trauma-informed approach, we'll work to understand those patterns instead of judging them. Together, we'll help you develop greater flexibility in responding to painful emotions while creating a stronger sense of safety and connection in the present.
