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.

Trauma and PTSD
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, 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.

Trauma and PTSD
Kailah DeJurnett
Licensed Clinical Social Worker
PTSD makes you feel stressed and afraid after the danger is over. It affects your life and the people around you. PTSD starts at different times for different people. Signs of PTSD may start soon after a frightening event and then continue. Other people develop new or more severe signs months or even years later. Trauma can be different things to different people: (experiencing natural disasters, childhood abuse and neglect, survivor of domestic violence, etc)

Morgan Liptak
Marriage and Family Therapist, MAS-MFT, LAMFT
Sometimes extremely difficult circumstances happen and you should not have to process through those resulting complex emotions by yourself. I work with all ages from young children to adults who have experienced trauma, allowing them a safe space to process their story and to re-write their story in a way that better serves their future.

Trauma and PTSD
Ema Grant
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS LPC
Trauma is defined not by what happened to us, but by how our hearts, minds, and bodies respond to what happened to us. Whether you have experienced "big" or "little" traumas, you have had experiences which have changed the way you see yourself and the world around you. I hope to help you reclaim the life you want to live and make peace with the parts of your story which hurt you. As you learn to trust your heart, mind, and body again, you will also learn to trust in safe relationships and in your own intuition and strength.
