PTSD/Trauma
Tara McGrath
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I have a special focus on religious trauma and related issues. I am EMDR trained and for some, this will be the main approach to therapy. However, it is not my only approach. Religious trauma is usually a complex trauma, or as I often say, trauma by 1000 paper cuts. Therefore, it's important for us to build trust and rapport, and to go slow.

Matthew Bishop
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Doctorate in Behavioral Health Leadership
Trauma changes the way the nervous system reacts to the world. My approach helps clients feel safe again in their own bodies and regain a sense of choice in how they live, rather than feeling stuck in old survival patterns.

Dr. Maxwell Rappoport
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I specialize in trauma treatment using approaches like Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT), mindfulness-based interventions, and elements of narrative therapy to re-understand and reinterpret traumatic material. Therapy provides a safe space to process painful memories, reduce symptoms like hypervigilance or flashbacks, and rebuild a sense of safety, empowerment, and control.

PTSD/Trauma
Dr. Tracy Mallett
Psychologist, Psy.D., L.M.F.T., Licensed Psychologist
Experiencing trauma can have lasting effects on your emotions, thoughts, and relationships. I specialize in helping adults, adolescents, and families who have experienced traumatic events, including childhood adversity, accidents, medical trauma, abuse, or other significant life stressors.
Therapy provides a safe, structured environment to process distressing experiences, understand how trauma affects daily functioning, and develop coping strategies to regain control and stability. I integrate evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused CBT, and EMDR-informed strategies, tailored to each client’s needs and pace.
In our work together, you will learn tools for managing anxiety, hypervigilance, intrusive thoughts, and emotional dysregulation. Therapy also focuses on rebuilding trust, enhancing self-compassion, and improving relationships that may have been impacted by trauma.
My goal is to help clients move from surviving to thriving—reducing the hold of traumatic experiences while fostering resilience, empowerment, and a sense of safety in daily life. Recovery is a process, and I guide each client with compassion, structure, and clinically grounded support throughout the journey.

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.
