Trauma and PTSD
Nadia Padurets
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LPCC
Trauma is complicated. Long-term trauma responses are unique, personal, and often painful. It can be obvious, with a well-defined cause and symptoms that seem to make sense. It can also be masked beneath sadness, anxiety, and irritability, without an obvious source. The triggering incident could have happened a week ago or many years ago. People may experience numbness, hyper-awareness, flashbacks, and irritability. You will be provided with a safe space to regain your inner self.

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.

Adrienne Clements
Counselor/Therapist, MA, LMFT
After surviving a deeply distressing or even life-threatening experience, are you struggling with worry, sadness and fear? Are intrusive flashbacks and disturbing nightmares making it difficult to truly believe that the danger has passed? Although you may go through the motions and get through each day, perhaps you avoid certain places, people or experiences that might trigger overwhelming memories. It may be you are hyper vigilant, always anticipating danger around every corner. As you attempt to protect yourself physically and emotionally, you may feel unable to trust anyone or anything, even yourself. Do you lack a sense of security and stability in every aspect of your world? Do you wish you could find relief from the ongoing worry and dread, engage in the present and claim agency over your life?
No matter how long ago or how recent, a traumatic experience can shake your sense of self and make life seem unpredictable, dangerous and out of control. You may frequently feel helpless, guilty and unable to navigate the world the way you’d like. It may feel as though you are stuck in a loop, falling victim to unbidden and disturbing memories, images, thoughts and physical sensations that force you to relive the past. Although the lingering effects of trauma can make you feel broken, if you are here reading this page, you have already done the hard work of surviving. In truth, you are not broken, and with help and support, you can do more than just survive. I offer a secure, accepting, nonjudgmental space for you to address the aftereffects of trauma, return to your body and claim your life.

Davene, Fecteau
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPCC
Trauma can result from significant life events, or from multiple moments that pile up. Often times, clients come in for therapy to address a symptom (anxiety, depression, addiction) that is caused by underlying trauma The symptoms of trauma can be triggered in so many ways and wreak havoc on our lives. The good news is that trauma can point us to healing. I believe that when the brain and body can access resources to feel safe, trauma can be released and the nervous systems can be reset. Utilizing techniques from EMDR and the Comprehensive Resource Model (CRM), I assist clients in accessing their inner resources in order to process trauma.
