Trauma refers to any deeply distressing or disturbing experience that overwhelms a person’s ability to cope. These experiences can range from physical or sexual assault to natural disasters, serious accidents, or witnessing acts of violence. When trauma remains unresolved, it can lead to lasting psychological effects, including the development of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) or Complex PTSD (CPTSD).
PTSD typically emerges after a single traumatic incident and is characterized by symptoms such as flashbacks, nightmares, heightened anxiety, and intrusive thoughts. In contrast, CPTSD results from prolonged or repeated trauma—especially during times when escape or protection is not possible, such as in childhood or in abusive relationships. Those living with CPTSD often grapple with emotional dysregulation, persistent negative self-beliefs, and enduring difficulties in forming or maintaining relationships.
Dissociation—a state in which a person disconnects from their thoughts, feelings, memories, or even their sense of identity—is also a common response among trauma survivors. This protective mechanism can make individuals feel emotionally numb, detached from their surroundings, or as if they are observing their life from outside their body.
Daniel, a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional Level 2 (CCTP-II), has advanced training in treating trauma, CPTSD, and dissociative symptoms. He works with clients to process and resolve trauma, address emotional wounds, and develop healthier, more adaptive coping strategies. His integrative approach may include therapy, medication, and other supportive interventions—empowering individuals to reclaim control, restore inner balance, and rebuild their lives with renewed strength and resilience.
Daniel offers both brief screening for trauma, PTSD and CPTSD and comprehensive, customized assessments. He welcomes inquiries regarding this and other psychological testing services he provides.

Sabrina Ragan
Psychologist, CCC., CPT, R.Psych
When a child experiences trauma—whether it’s a single event or ongoing stress—it can overwhelm their ability to cope and leave lasting emotional imprints. I specialize in working with children who have experienced trauma or show signs of PTSD, using play therapy, art, and attachment-based approaches to gently support healing. In our sessions, children are given a safe space to express their experiences without pressure, regain a sense of safety, and slowly process what they’ve been through at a pace that honors their nervous system.
Children are also deeply impacted by their parent’s trauma, even if they can’t fully articulate it. That’s why I offer counseling and parent support to help caregivers navigate their own healing while staying emotionally available for their child. Whether trauma is part of your child’s story, your own, or both, therapy provides a bridge toward connection, understanding, and lasting resilience. Healing is possible—and it begins with feeling safe, seen, and supported.

Denelle O'Reilly
Psychologist
I support children, adolescents, and adults who have experienced trauma and symptoms of PTSD in a safe, compassionate, and structured way. I understand how past experiences can continue to impact thoughts, emotions, relationships, and the body. Using a warm and collaborative approach, I help clients process traumatic memories, reduce distressing symptoms, and build a greater sense of safety and control. I am trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), an evidence-based therapy that helps the brain reprocess difficult experiences so they feel less overwhelming over time. Treatment is tailored to each individual, with a focus on stabilization, coping skills, and healing at a pace that feels manageable.

Whether your trauma stems from childhood experiences, emotional abuse, narcissistic abuse, or another painful event, together we'll work at a pace that feels safe to process your experiences, reduce the impact of triggers, and help you regain a sense of control. My goal is to help you heal with compassion, rebuild your sense of safety, and move forward with greater confidence and resilience.
