Trauma and PTSD
Cindy Lee Collins
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
I specialize in working with adults experiencing trauma and PTSD, including symptoms such as intrusive memories, emotional reactivity, avoidance, hypervigilance, dissociation, and difficulty feeling safe in relationships or in one’s own body. Trauma can result from a single overwhelming event or from repeated or developmental experiences that shape how the nervous system responds to stress over time.
My approach is trauma-informed, paced, and focused on resolving symptoms at their root rather than only managing them. I use EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and the Comprehensive Resource Model (CRM) to help process traumatic experiences in a way that reduces emotional intensity and supports integration. These modalities work directly with how trauma is stored in the brain and nervous system, allowing for meaningful change without requiring you to repeatedly relive distressing material.
I also integrate nervous system regulation and attachment-based work, with a strong emphasis on establishing internal safety, increasing capacity for emotional tolerance, and rebuilding a sense of stability and trust in self and others. Therapy is carefully paced and collaborative, with attention to maintaining regulation throughout the process.
Many clients come to me feeling stuck in survival responses that persist long after the trauma has ended. Through this work, clients often experience fewer trauma symptoms, improved emotional regulation, and a greater sense of groundedness, safety, and connection in daily life.
