PTSD/Trauma
Celeste Celaya
Counselor/Therapist, MC, LPC, CCTP-II
I help individuals navigating childhood trauma, PTSD, and adverse life events heal beyond managing symptoms by addressing the root cause. Using trauma-informed approaches such as EMDR and DBT in combination with somatic and nervous system interventions we'll help you get unstuck from past experiences, rebuild a sense of safety in the body, and live a more regulated life.

PTSD/Trauma
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.

PTSD/Trauma
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.

PTSD/Trauma
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.

Brie Chandler
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
I help clients work through complex trauma and PTSD resulting from childhood and adult attachment/relational trauma. These experiences leave us trapped in cycles that unintentionally reenact our traumatic relationships, deepening our internal wounds. You will be able to process your traumas and learn to trust your internal world again. My clients are able to reconnect with themselves and gain the felt sense of safety they've been missing, allowing them to navigate the world with confidence and security.

I specialize in helping individuals who have experienced trauma or are dealing with PTSD. My approach includes trauma-informed therapies like CPT, PE, somatic experiencing, and other techniques designed to help clients process and heal from their traumatic experiences. I work with clients to address symptoms like flashbacks, anxiety, and avoidance, and to help them regain a sense of safety, control, and empowerment.

Referrals to EMDR or medication management are offered when appropriate.

PTSD/Trauma
Sophie Pierce
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I understand trauma responses as the nervous system’s adaptive attempts to cope with overwhelming experiences, rather than simply symptoms to be eliminated. Healing occurs through safe, supportive relationships that help restore a sense of connection, regulation, and trust. I work collaboratively with children, and families to build understanding, strengthen resilience, and support meaningful growth.
