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.

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.

Luciana C. Silva
Marriage and Family Therapist, PhD, LMFT
Family systems theory conceptualizes anxiety as a mental, emotional, and physiological reaction to perceived threat. Sometimes the threat is real, as in cases of trauma. At other times, our perception does not match the facts of the situation. If we conceptualize traumatic stress as an automatic reaction to environmental stimuli that resembles past traumatic events survived in part due to these reactions, we can start to see that healing from traumatic stress might involve coming to understand our automatic reactions to anxiety, how the sources of anxiety in our lives and the systems we operate in activate these automatic reactions, how the way we react to anxiety is part of how we function in a system, how our functioning is both influenced by the system and influential of it, and what a more thoughtful, less automatic way of responding to anxiety may be. I aim to partner with people who want to explore these questions to better activate the thinking process to temper the automatic (or emotional) process.

Jonathan Schmalz
Psychologist, PhD, HSP-P
A trauma-informed approach underlies all of my work as a therapist. I know that many clients come to therapy not specifically because of trauma, but because they feel lonely or inadequate, they are depressed or anxious, or just cannot seem to have the intimacy they crave. Sometimes acknowledging trauma comes later in the therapy work and that is okay. Just know that I trust that you will talk about it when you are ready.
I would like to join you in acknowledging how the past has affected your present and in charting a course to healing that works for you. You may wish to talk about particular pains from the past and you may wish to focus on the future. We will work together to find the balance that is right for you, so that you can live the life that you really want to live.

Pamela Brewer
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, Ph.D, LCSW-C,DCSW
You are the only one who can determine what felt traumatizing to you. We can work together to understand the trauma, and find ways to facilitate your healing. Your healing is not dependent on those who have harmed you. Apologies/acknowledgement may never come. But! You can heal. Post traumatic stress does not have to e a life sentence. You can make the difference in your own life. It may not seem possible now - but it is. I'd like to help.
