Erin Kennedy
Therapist, LPCC
Trauma is far more pervasive than many people realize--in fact, trauma is anything that overwhelms our current capacity to cope. I specialize in treating individuals with a history of childhood & relational/attachment trauma, which can have pervasive impacts across all areas of wellbeing.

Jennifer Pudlo Therapy & Wellness Consulting
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS, LMFT
Trauma can leave you feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or as though you're constantly reliving painful experiences, making it difficult to feel safe, trust others, or fully engage in life. Using a compassionate, trauma-informed approach, I provide a safe and supportive space to help you process difficult experiences, understand the impact of trauma on your mind and body, and develop healthier ways of coping and healing. My goal is to help you move beyond surviving, restore a sense of safety and empowerment, and reconnect with the life and relationships that matter most.

Melanie Goetz
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
You already have displayed such a beautiful expression of courage by seeking out support. In the beginning of therapy, we’ll build on this courage by identifying what is working for you in life right now, bringing in new resources to expand the sense of safety to live and connect. Then slowly taking little tastes of deeper, painful work, we’ll move back and forth, allowing your full being to embrace this new way of living without the added weight of judgment or pressure to live any one way. We’ll consider the stories and thoughts, the emotions, the images and picture memories, as well as, the groans, pains, and numbness of your body that are charged by fight-flight-freeze-faint energy. We’ll honor all parts of you as we work together to engage all the rules of safety and connection that you’ve learned through past experiences. We’ll consider what is and is not working well for you now, and, we’ll identify new purposes for these parts of you that honor your living and connecting now.

Amy Price, AMP Family Therapy Inc.
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Having worked with clients of all ages and stages of life who have experienced trauma, I have trained in EMDR therapy to help. I find EMDR to be extremely efficacious and limits the length and amount of therapy most clients need to do. Symptom relief is vital and EMDR can help tremendously with that. We carry trauma in our body. As a compassionate helper, I want my clients who have experienced trauma to understand their body's responses so that they can notice, identify and stop triggers from sending their nervous system awry.

Trauma and PTSD are the result of witnessing or experiencing a terrifying event. This multidimensional condition affects daily functioning. Trauma-focused therapy, such as EMDR and other modalities, can extinguish the symptoms of trauma and PTSD. There are different forms of trauma that lead to PTSD, including all types of abuse, shame, bullying, combat and military trauma, family trauma, and grief.

Marge Michaelson
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, ACSW, DSW
Trauma and PTSD exist because of explicit and implicit memory of events that are out of the ordinary. Therapy explores the connection to both in a safe environment. Symptoms arise from these experiences that can be debilitating and exhausting. Sorting out these connections lead to healing.
