PTSD/Trauma
Gregory Smith
Counselor/Therapist, LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor), BCPC
Since trauma is at the root of PTSD and dissociation, I understand the effects that trauma has upon an individual. In the 1990's, I worked as a North Carolina Paramedic and experienced the effects that trauma can have upon an individual. Whether it is childhood traumas, military experience traumas, or any other unexpected experiences that the flight and fight response system was not an option, and therefore, the freeze response resulted in the trauma; healing requires various approaches. Being a pastor living overseas for 19 years ministering to American military stationed outside of the USA has given me many opportunities to minister to those affected by trauma. Often those who experienced traumatic experiences on more than one occasion develop complex PTSD with dissociation. My experience working with dissociative individuals is very beneficial when understanding and helping those with PTSD and sometime complex PTSD.

Dr. Alisha Desai
Psychologist, PhD
Trauma shapes how you see yourself, relate to others, and respond to the world long after a distressing experience has ended. You're constantly on guard, avoiding reminders of the past, struggling with unwanted memories, and carrying beliefs about yourself and others that are difficult to shake. With specialized postdoctoral training in trauma and PTSD, Dr. Desai the expertise and compassion to this work that drives meaningful, sustainable change. Working together, you'll move at a pace that feels manageable as you process difficult experiences, reduce the impact of trauma-related symptoms, and reconnect with yourself.

Aaron Kapin
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
From the perspective of Somatic Experiencing, trauma isn't the thing that happened 15 years ago (or last week), it's the ongoing effects that that incident continues to have on your body.
We can work together to figure out how your body is still reacting to that incident, and work to help your body 'catch up' to the present moment. If you're safer now than you were then, there are ways we can help your body 'complete' the threat response from so long ago, and land in the comparative safety of the present moment.
I can't treat PTSD, so if you've been diagnosed with PTSD you should still work with a licensed mental health professional, even as you work with me. What I can do is support your body in turning down the volume on that threatened feeling that has been coming up since the trauma-inducing events.

PTSD/Trauma
Dr. Yuye Zhang
Psychologist, PhD, MSW
Traumatic experiences can continue to affect how you feel, relate to others, and understand yourself long after the original evens have passed. I work with adults who are experiencing the effects of trauma, including PTSD and complex PTSD (CPTSD), in a supportive and collaborative space. Our work can focus on understanding how past experiences continue to shape the present, reducing self-blame, and developing greater flexibility, self-understanding, and connection with yourself and others.
