Trauma and PTSD
Michaela Decker
Counselor/Therapist, LMFT
Frequently, people who have experienced trauma develop extraordinary survival skills. Often the strategies that were critical for survival, are not sustainable long term and thwart the ability to develop satisfying work, family and/or romantic relationships. Therapy provides an opportunity to become "unstuck" and transcend thinking and behavior patterns that are holding you back from realizing your potential. I specialize in the treatment of PTSD, anxiety and depression, and am trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). When distress from a disturbing event remains, the upsetting images, thoughts, and emotions may create an overwhelming feeling of being back in that moment. EMDR therapy helps the brain process these memories, and allows normal healing to resume. EMDR therapy is not complete until attention has been brought to the past memories that are contributing to the problem, the present situations that are disturbing, and what skills the needed for the future.

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.

Growth Counseling - Peter Tumolo
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
As Bessel Van Der Kolk says "The Body Keeps the Score". This statement refers to the now scientifically proven notion that trauma is not just the "bad things" that happen to us, but what happens in our bodies as well. Trauma is the lump in our throats, the heaviness in our chests, the anxiety in our stomachs, and tension in our muscles. In order to help heal from trauma and PTSD, we need to connect to our bodies and bring the body into the therapeutic experience. I am certified in EMDR which is proven to help process and heal past trauma of all kinds, including "shock trauma" (war, natural disasters, car accidents) and "relational/developmental trauma" (emotional abuse, neglect, sexual abuse).

Kathy Anderson
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS, LAMFT
Trauma is defined as the charge that's left behind in the body after a completely overwhelming experience. Most folks have gone through something that has felt completely overwhelming that they didn't have the support to return to a sense of calmness after. If this is the case, how can your relationship NOT be affected by trauma in one way or another? Whether you have experienced trauma before your relationship or during it, together or separately, trauma may come into your dynamic and start wreaking havoc on your sense of togetherness, connection, and vision as a couple. When trauma interrupts a couple's relationship, it can be very easy for both partners to start working against each other and lose their sense of safety. It can also be really difficult for both partners to see each other for who they both really are instead of what the trauma fears or desperately hopes they are. Couple therapy with a trauma trained therapist addresses the impact of trauma on the relationship with sensitivity and care. If your relationship has been impacted by trauma, I can offer a secure environment for both partners to cultivate safety, sensitivity, care, and support towards each other at a pace that is determined by you. Relationship work is vulnerable; trauma work is vulnerable; relationship and trauma work at the same time?? That can feel SO scary. I get it. Let's go at your pace and focus on safety together. I will walk alongside you both as you learn to reclaim your relationship from the impact of trauma.

Brie Chandler
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
I help clients work through complex trauma and PTSD resulting from childhood abuse and neglect. This may have looked like experiencing bullying, having strict parents, trying to meet impossible expectations, hitting, shaming, fighting, lack of emotional connection, or something else. These experiences leave us trapped in cycles from the past that can feel hard to escape.
