Elinor Nygren Szapiro
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA LPC, EMDR II, Brainspotting Certification, Hypnotherapy
Difficult and traumatic events, even ones that may seem like 'not that big a deal', stay lodged in our physical bodies and nervous systems. When you find yourself overreacting (or having a bigger reaction than a situation seems to warrant), that is often because the current situation is activating/triggering a previous event/trauma. Trauma is held in the body, below the mind, and, therefore, cannot be cleared by talk therapy alone. Thebody/mind, neurophysiological methods of Brainspotting and EMDR reach into the body and the primitive brain where the trauma is held and can help gently release the trauma.

Dr. Danielle Watkins at Sound Wellness Counseling PLLC
Counselor/Therapist, PhD, LMFT, LMHC, NCC, PMH-C
When specializing in trauma and PTSD treatment, I focus on supporting individuals who have experienced deeply distressing or life-threatening events, helping them process and heal from the lasting emotional, psychological, and physical effects. This work addresses symptoms such as flashbacks, nightmares, anxiety, hypervigilance, and avoidance, while providing a safe and structured space to explore traumatic experiences. Using evidence-based approaches like trauma-focused cognitive-behavioral therapy (TF-CBT) and grounding techniques, counseling helps clients regain a sense of safety, process difficult memories, and rebuild resilience. The goal is to empower individuals to reclaim control, restore emotional balance, and move toward healing and post-traumatic growth.

Online Therapy for Anxiety, Burnout & Life Transitions -AZ, IL, OH
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, LCPC
Trauma can leave you feeling on edge, disconnected, or stuck in patterns you can’t seem to break even long after the event has passed. I provide a grounded, compassionate space to help you understand your nervous system, process painful memories at a pace that feels safe, and rebuild a sense of trust in yourself and others. Using evidence based approaches like CBT and mindfulness‑based strategies, along with faith integrated support for clients who desire it, we work together to reduce triggers, strengthen emotional regulation, and create lasting healing. You don’t have to navigate trauma alone — recovery is possible, and you deserve support that honors both your story and your strength.

Jacqueline Elster
Psychologist, PsyD, HSPP, LP
Helping you process, integrate and reduce the emotional impact of traumatic experiences in a safe and controlled environment is my goal. This may involve identifying and altering distressing thoughts and behaviors that have followed a traumatic experience. Working with you to gradually desensitize yourself to trauma-related triggers, can help reduce avoidance and dramatically decrease anxiety. My area of expertise is the treatment of trauma and PTSD. Working in residential rehabilitations for substance use disorders and then working at the VA laid the foundation for expertise in this area. I am trained in Cognitive Processing Therapy, Prolonged Exposure, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Seeking Safety, Accelerated Resolution Therapy and Written Exposure Therapy.
