Trauma and PTSD
Allie Michie, MS
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT159347
Trauma reshapes the way we see ourselves, our relationships, and the world around us. It can show up as hypervigilance, disconnection, patterns that feel impossible to break, or a sense that you're never quite safe. I work with clients using a trauma-informed approach, meaning we move at your pace, with your sense of safety always in mind, and we never go further than you're ready to go.

"Adverse imprinting results from any event or events that overwhelms us on a spiritual, psychological, physiological, and/or structural level. Until resolved, adverse imprinting will impact the baby, child, and adult on all levels throughout life" (Myrna Martin, et al). Behaviors arise from adverse imprinting to manage trauma, and do not come from our primary self, our original authenticity. Life becomes more and more difficult, illness arises, "flow" stops. All of our work together addresses this from a foundation of Health, and is a process of building resiliency - the nervous system's ability to handle stressful events that inevitably are part of life. A capacity that comes from our authentic nature, from more joy, heart, and presence, instead of detrimental imprints - imprints that were once necessary and helpful but now may be harmful to your life. Your work with me, or your child's, creates secure attachment and safety regardless of a turbulent world.
I also offer environmental illness/mold recovery consultations and treatment using integrative functional health & nutrition therapies. My specialty here involves Microbiome recovery and resilience.
