Gwen Grigsby
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT
Traumatic experiences can include anything from a single event to a collection of smaller experiences that have a lasting impact. The effects of trauma can leave us with a shattered sense of self, relational difficulties, and emotional distress. I use a specialized therapy called Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy to address the past, improve current functioning, and build confidence about the future.

Jeffrey Gianelli
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Trauma may be something horrific or something that you tell yourself "it wasn't so bad, others have it worse." We often make light of the things that hurt or scared us or made us feel less than, however, your struggles matter just as much as anyone else's. When trauma is severe, we develop patters that you might call "PTSD"- patterns of fear, hopelessness, constantly being on edge, having to avoid so many things. Trauma is stored in our bodies and our bodies remember. But there is hope and help is available. Therapies like EMDR (which I am fully certified in) heal both the body and mind. Adding in other treatments like polyvagal based exercises or mindfulness can go even further. I have been through it myself and I know that transformation is possible.

Tandra Froehlich Childress
Marriage and Family Therapist, ATR, LMFT
Trauma and PTSD can occur from an array of distressing situations. I treat trauma and PTSD using EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). This psychotherapeutic process aids in healing by unblocking negative beliefs and restoring positive adaptive beliefs.

Scheyden Herold
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT #137593, MS
Trauma and PTSD are so incredibly common and underrecognized. People often go decades in their lives with undiagnosed PTSD and trauma without even realizing it. It is important to unveil the traumatic experiences we have gone through in our lives. Some people can experience trauma and not develop PTSD. However, there are many people who experience trauma and don't recognize they have. I am here to work with you through that. I can provide you a safe place to explore the traumatic experiences that are causing you pain, and we can begin to get your life back in order, one piece at a time.
