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.

Alena Porter
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, NCC
Trauma and PTSD, especially C-PTSD, includes any emotional experience that was upsetting and different than you had experienced up to that point in your life. C-PTSD often involves parental neglect, unavailability, or inconsistency. I am not one of the therapists who will tell you that you need to forgive and rebuild your relationsihp with anyone you choose not to have in your life. The idea that people should continue to endure mistreatment simply because someone is family is absurd. Of course, trauma and PTSD can include experiencing or witnessing any type of violence, abuse, accidents, or the threats of violence or abuse. Trauma has been my specialty since the beginning of my career and I have taken extensive training on the treatment of trauma. More importantly than if I am qualified to treat you for upsetting or traumatic past experiences is the fact that I will never minimize your experiences. Please do not avoid going to therapy because you think what you experienced was "not that bad." If it was upsetting to you when it happened and it still affects your life in any way I want to help you reduce or eliminate the impact of those experiences on your present day and future life.

New Leaf Counseling and Wellness
Psychologist
Treating trauma and PTSD requires a comprehensive and compassionate approach that prioritizes safety, trust, and empowerment. Drawing from evidence-based therapies such as cognitive processing therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), and somatic experiencing, I work with clients to process and integrate traumatic memories in a supportive therapeutic environment. Through psychoeducation, skill-building, and experiential techniques, I help clients regain a sense of control over their lives while addressing symptoms such as hypervigilance, flashbacks, and avoidance. My specialized expertise enables me to tailor treatment to each individual's unique needs, fostering healing, resilience, and a renewed sense of hope for the future.
