Kelsey Bass
Marriage and Family Therapist, MAS, LMFT
Trauma can leave deep emotional scars, affecting your daily life and sense of well-being. In therapy, I use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help you process and heal from traumatic experiences. EMDR is an evidence-based approach that facilitates the brain's natural healing process, allowing you to reframe and desensitize distressing memories. By creating a safe and supportive environment, I strive to help you confront and overcome the impact of your trauma, fostering resilience and empowering yourself to move forward with a renewed sense of peace and strength.

Trauma and PTSD
Caitlin Derouen
Licensed Professional Counselor, NCC, LPC, EMDRT
I specialize in treating trauma and PTSD utilizing safe, integrative and trauma informed approaches. I am trained in EMDR, a highly effective method for treating complex and deeply rooted trauma to alleviate symptoms and remove the impact of triggers that may be affecting your daily life. EMDR seeks to use our brain's natural healing ability to alter the unhealthy internal narratives that became a part of our story when the trauma occurred. For this reason, EMDR is my preferred method for addressing trauma of almost any kind. I am also certified in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), a technique that allows me to quickly provide patients with some relief from their symptoms through guiding them through their internal process in a creative way to encourage desensitization to triggers and alleviation of difficult symptoms.

Trauma and PTSD
Jocelyn Jarman
Counselor/Therapist, LMSW
Trauma is not what happened to you. It is what happened inside you as a result — the way your nervous system learned to protect you in the aftermath of an experience that felt too big, too sudden, or too overwhelming to fully process at the time. That protection made sense then. But when the body stays stuck in survival mode long after the danger has passed — when ordinary moments trigger extraordinary fear, when sleep brings no rest, when connection feels unsafe, when you find yourself cycling through numbness and overwhelm without understanding why — that is trauma still doing its job, in a body that never got the message that it was finally allowed to rest. Trauma wears many faces. It can arrive after a single catastrophic event, or it can accumulate slowly across years of chronic stress, neglect, relational wounds, or an environment where you never quite felt safe. It can be the kind of trauma the world readily recognizes — abuse, violence, accident, loss — or the quieter kind that is harder to name but no less real: the childhood where your emotions were dismissed, the relationship that slowly dismantled your sense of self, the years of simply never feeling like enough. At Deserts Bloom Therapy, trauma is approached with the patience, safety, and deep respect that healing genuinely requires. Jocelyn draws on trauma-informed modalities including EMDR, CBT, mindfulness, somatic awareness, play therapy, and sand tray work to meet each client where they are — never pushing faster than the nervous system is ready to go, always prioritizing the sense of safety that makes real healing possible in the first place. Trauma recovery is not about erasing what happened or becoming someone who was never hurt. It is about gently loosening the grip that the past has on your present, reclaiming your body as a place you can inhabit with more ease, and discovering that what you survived does not have to define the life that is still ahead of you. You made it through something hard. This is the part where you get to heal.

Restored Counseling & Wellness Center, PLLC
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LPC, NMD
Trauma doesn't just live in memory — it lives in the body, in automatic reactions, and in the subconscious beliefs formed in its wake. At Restored, we specialize in EMDR and attachment-based trauma therapy to address these deeper layers, helping clients process what happened in a way that genuinely shifts how they feel and respond — not just how they think. Our therapists bring both clinical expertise and deep compassion to trauma work, and our intensive formats offer accelerated options for those ready to go deeper.

Trauma and PTSD
Grace Judd
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LAMFT
Trauma leaves its mark in the body as much as the mind—through hypervigilance, anxiety, flashbacks, nightmares, dissociation, or difficulty trusting others. I provide a deeply trauma-informed space where your system’s protective strategies are honored, not pathologized. Using EMDR, IFS, and other evidence-based approaches, we gently process painful memories, strengthen internal safety, and build resilience in your nervous system. Together, we create a path toward integration, empowerment, and a life no longer defined by what happened to you.

Trauma and PTSD
Jeni Gutke
Licensed Professional Counselor, MC, LPC
Traumatic events, big and small change feelings of safety and power as well as responsibility and self worth. Often times with PTSD, we are taking on too much responsibility for past events, which are crippling the ability to move forward and be present. Through a combination of Modalities are minds are able to clear the negative beliefs and rewire the brain to help install adaptive truth about ourselves (that our own system already possesses!) and empower us to heal and move forward in new ways, with self trust and tools to identify triggers as trailheads for healing. This is very overlooked state, effecting many Individuals, manifesting as anxiety, lack of attention, difficulty sleeping, adrenal fatigue, somatic symptoms of all kinds and chronic illnesses. When we address these through well researched modalities, we are able to clear past trauma and trust ourselves and live again in self-lead energy!

Chandler is one of Phoenix's most economically dynamic suburbs — home to Intel's major chip manufacturing campus and a growing semiconductor and technology sector — creating demand for therapists experienced with high-performance careers, workplace stress, and the psychological pressures of the tech industry. The city has a significant South Asian and East Asian professional population alongside a large and long-established Hispanic community, generating broad demand for culturally affirming therapy across very different backgrounds. Chandler Regional Medical Center provides institutional mental health resources, with a private therapy community serving the DC Ranch corridor and the Price Freeway tech corridor. Chandler's suburban character and intense summer heat contribute to social isolation concerns that therapists frequently address.
