PTSD/Trauma
LAH Therapy Services
Marriage and Family Therapist, Ph.D., LMFT, CAS, EMDR-2
Trauma is a specialty for me. I have done hours of training on Trauma and PTSD. I use EMDR to work with trauma but along with EMDR a client must look at their patterns of thought, feeling and especially behavior. All of these work together. Once a trauma is processed, the patterns that go with the trauma must also change and grow.

Victoria Miller
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
CPT helps people recognize how trauma has changed their view about themselves, others, and the world. CPT teaches people to recognize the negative thoughts that are created by the trauma. These thoughts are called "stuck points" in CPT because they keep people stuck and get in the way of recovery from PTSD (from the National Center for PTSD (.gov))

Brooke Taylor
Pre-Licensed Professional, MA, AMFT
Trauma in teens rarely announces itself. It shows up as a kid who is on edge for no obvious reason, or who has gone numb, or whose reactions seem out of proportion to whatever just happened. It can look like anger, like risk-taking, like trouble sleeping, like a sudden change in who they are close to and what they will do. Sometimes it is a single event everyone knows about. Sometimes it is years of something that was never named.
What makes it trauma is not the size of the event but what it did to their sense of safety, and how much of it they had to handle alone.
I am trained in EMDR, parts work, and other trauma-focused approaches, and I work at a pace your teen sets. We do not start by asking them to tell the story. We start by building enough trust and enough internal steadiness that going near the hard material does not overwhelm them. That preparation is not a delay before the real work. It is a large part of the real work, and skipping it is how therapy ends up doing harm.
When they are ready, we process what happened so it stops living in the present tense: less reactivity, better sleep, more room to be a teenager rather than someone managing something constantly.
A note for parents. You may not be told everything, and that is by design. Confidentiality is what makes it possible for your teen to be honest, and I will explain clearly what I can and cannot share, and where the limits are around safety. I will keep you involved in the work without asking your teen to give up the privacy that makes it work.

Susanna La
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Our traumas not only impact our internal experiences of distress but also our relationships, our work, and overall quality of life. It can be difficult to differentiate between your own survival mechanisms and the coping strategies you inherited. To prevent passing on your trauma responses to the next generation, you can unlearn what is no longer serving you while also learning new skills.

Samantha Schaefer
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, PMH-C
Trauma changes the way we see ourselves and the world—but it doesn’t have to define you. Using approaches like EMDR and grounding techniques, I help clients process what’s happened, reconnect with safety, and reclaim their lives on their own terms.

Sara Denman
Psychologist, Psy.D
Trauma and PTSD can be the result of one traumatic incident, abusive relationship(s), difficult life situations, etc. Bilateral stimulation and EMDR are clinical proven treatments which can be very affective. There are other treatments which can further treatment outcomes, such as attachment and coping skills training. There is no one size fits all treatment but therapy can be extremely affective.

Chad Cryder
Psychologist, PhD
As a trauma-informed therapist, I understand that almost everyone has experienced trauma at some point in life. A trauma-informed approach means we help you develop, practice, and foster body-regulating coping skills to help you respond differently to the underlying trauma. Will we address the specifics of your trauma? Maybe, but only when you are ready. I am now offering Virtual Reality therapy to help with trauma and PTSD. Further, I will be using EMDR for in-person sessions.
