Trauma and PTSD
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.

Because the profound effects of trauma, complex trauma and PTSD can impact our sense of trust and ability to feel safe in our own bodies, collaboration is key. We will work together toward gaining awareness around safety, building resilience, and understanding your physiological responses to trauma. One of the modalities I use is Brainspotting, a brain-body based therapy that uses the visual field to process trauma.

Christian Holmes
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., Associate Marriage and Family Therapist
Trauma can feel so overwhelming. It has a way of infecting every area of one's life. In my work with those who experience trauma I take a collaborative approach where we assess and address the trauma from all angles. We use talk therapy to process what has gone unaddressed and discover together the meaning made and the effect it had on you in your relationship with yourself and others. I also use evidence-based practices like EMDR and TF-CBT (Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral) Therapy which allows us to address cognitive distortions and negative beliefs you hold about yourself so that you can overcome the pain and suffering and experience more joy and freedom.

Ross Kellogg, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Individual, Marriage, and Family Therapist (LMFT)
Single event trauma and long-term developmental trauma in childhood can each be overwhelming experiences that bring about an overwhelming set of symptoms that often end in a lot of isolation for the traumatized person. Therapy can help you re-engage with people and life again. A multi modality approach including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy couples with Object Relations Therapy and Internal Family Systems Therapy can often be an effective method for managing symptoms, getting back to feeling good, and accepting the full impact and meaning of the traumatic event(s).
