PTSD/Trauma
Claire Karakey
Therapist, LPC, MC
Traumatic experiences often involve a physical threat to life or safety but any situation that leaves a person feeling isolated, helpless, and overwhelmed can result in Trauma. Traumatic events include accidents, abuse, bullying, neglect, breakups, humiliation, chronic illness, or the sudden death of a loved one.
Trauma can often manifest in destructive behaviors such as substance abuse, self-harm, and codependency. An individual struggling with past traumas can experience insomnia, irritability, aches and pains, fear, anxiety, and hopelessness. Trauma can affect work performance and relationships, cause one to withdraw and isolate from others, and potentially resort to using drugs or self-harm in order to cope with the intense emotions.
Whatever the cause of the trauma – and whether it happened recently or in childhood – therapy can help. A therapist can use a variety of modalities including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Talk Therapy, and Mindfulness techniques to help reprogram and heal the traumatic memories so a healthier, happier life can be realized.

Sumer Statler Aeed
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
Trauma is the experience not just of what happened to us, but by how our bodies, neurology, and hearts respond to what happened to us. Traumas of 'small t' and traumas of 'big T' both create adaptions to our true selves that can lead in our being 'stuck' in ways that don't serve us, that may create more trauma, or disconnection from our true selves and to our relationships with others. We have multiple ways of healing trauma, including complex traumas, including Flash Therapy, EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), clinical hypnosis, somatic work, art therapy and more. Coming back to your true self, perhaps for the first time, is not a journey to be missed.

Patricia Fahmy
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
Trauma can continue to affect your life long after difficult experiences have ended. You may find yourself feeling emotionally overwhelmed, constantly on guard, disconnected from others, struggling with trust, or repeating patterns in relationships that you don't fully understand. Trauma can impact the mind, body, nervous system, and the way we relate to ourselves and others. I specialize in helping individuals and couples heal the effects of trauma through a holistic approach that integrates EMDR, somatic therapy, attachment work, and mindfulness. Together, we work to process painful experiences, strengthen emotional regulation, and create healthier, more secure ways of living and connecting.

Cordell Pearson
Counselor/Therapist, CMHC, LPC, NCC
Trauma can leave you feeling stuck—like no matter what you do, you can’t move past the pain or the memories. Whether it’s from a past event or years of unresolved hurt, trauma affects more than just your thoughts. It can take a toll on your emotions, relationships, your body, and sense of self. But healing is possible, and you don’t have to do it alone.
At Freedom to Heal Counseling, I specialize in helping you break free from the hold that trauma has on your life. Through EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and other trauma-focused therapies, we can gently process painful experiences and release their grip, helping you feel lighter, more in control, and able to move forward.

Many people seek therapy because they are tired of carrying emotional pain alone. I work alongside clients who are carrying the impact of trauma, painful relationships, or difficult life experiences that continue to affect how they feel, relate, and move through the world. My approach is trauma-informed, compassionate, and paced in a way that prioritizes emotional safety and trust. Together, we work to better understand patterns, process difficult experiences, and build practical tools for regulation, healing, and reconnection. During our time together, we will work at a pace that feels comfortable to you. I hope to support you in better understanding your experiences, challenging unhelpful patterns, and cultivating greater self-compassion and confidence. I am trained in Trauma Informed CBT, as well as EMDR.

Tara Murphy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Trauma leaves lasting imprints on the body, mind, and relationships, and no two experiences of healing look the same. I have extensive experience working with military members, children in the foster care system facing complex trauma, and adults recovering from childhood neglect or abuse. My approach is trauma-informed and highly individualized, integrating IFS, attachment-focused therapy, mindfulness, somatic awareness, family systems, and psychodynamic work. I draw on a range of evidence-based and relational approaches to fit each client’s needs. I also collaborate closely with prescribers when helpful and provide careful diagnostic clarity to distinguish trauma from dissociative disorders, depression, or personality patterns.
