Sean Sprigle
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
I have recovered my own trauma prior to becoming a trauma specialist. I suffered from PTSD my entire life without knowing what was wrong with me, but I don’t live with PTSD anymore. I am no longer traumatized and I can help you get there as well.

Brooke Taylor
Pre-Licensed Professional, MA, AMFT
Trauma in teens rarely announces itself. It shows up as a kid who is on edge for no obvious reason, or who has gone numb, or whose reactions seem out of proportion to whatever just happened. It can look like anger, like risk-taking, like trouble sleeping, like a sudden change in who they are close to and what they will do. Sometimes it is a single event everyone knows about. Sometimes it is years of something that was never named.
What makes it trauma is not the size of the event but what it did to their sense of safety, and how much of it they had to handle alone.
I am trained in EMDR, parts work, and other trauma-focused approaches, and I work at a pace your teen sets. We do not start by asking them to tell the story. We start by building enough trust and enough internal steadiness that going near the hard material does not overwhelm them. That preparation is not a delay before the real work. It is a large part of the real work, and skipping it is how therapy ends up doing harm.
When they are ready, we process what happened so it stops living in the present tense: less reactivity, better sleep, more room to be a teenager rather than someone managing something constantly.
A note for parents. You may not be told everything, and that is by design. Confidentiality is what makes it possible for your teen to be honest, and I will explain clearly what I can and cannot share, and where the limits are around safety. I will keep you involved in the work without asking your teen to give up the privacy that makes it work.

Jeremy Rhoades
Counselor/Therapist, MFT, LPCC, Harm Reduction Specialist, Psychedelic Integration Consultant
Trauma and PTSD can be a portal to new possibilities in the present moment. We can work with trauma and PTSD directly to transmute the energy of being victimized, so that you are not stuck in the story of the trauma, but rather able to acknowledge the difficulty and see how it transports you into the next phase of your life. Or, if it is too difficult to approach it directly, we can slowly build acceptance techniques and see what tools help to mitigate the intensity.

Wyatt Okeefe
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MA, LMHC, LPC, LPCC
I work with adults who have experienced trauma and are coping with its lasting emotional and psychological effects. Therapy may address PTSD symptoms, anxiety, depression, intrusive memories, nightmares, avoidance, emotional distress, dissociation, and difficulties with trust or relationships. Together, we work to develop greater safety and stability, strengthen coping and grounding skills, process traumatic experiences when appropriate, and support recovery and renewed well-being.

Tara Maazel
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, PN1-NC
Trauma can alter our nervous systems, sometimes to the point where you can feel alienated in your own body. We will practice strategies to befriend your nervous system again and help you feel more connected and embodied. Sometimes self-limiting beliefs can keep us repeating the same cycles inadvertently. We will work collaboratively towards unraveling old narratives and ineffective cycles that may feel stagnating. I use Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS) to help you gain a deeper understanding of the purpose of certain protective mechanisms so that you can perhaps relate to them in a different way and create new neural pathways. I also offer EMDR for processing traumatic memories and CBT for learning skills to challenge automatic reactions. For those who are interested, I can guide you through creative expression exercises to help you engage with challenges from a different kind of portal and build new perspectives.

PTSD/Trauma
Aaron Kapin
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
From the perspective of Somatic Experiencing, trauma isn't the thing that happened 15 years ago (or last week), it's the ongoing effects that that incident continues to have on your body.
We can work together to figure out how your body is still reacting to that incident, and work to help your body 'catch up' to the present moment. If you're safer now than you were then, there are ways we can help your body 'complete' the threat response from so long ago, and land in the comparative safety of the present moment.
I can't treat PTSD, so if you've been diagnosed with PTSD you should still work with a licensed mental health professional, even as you work with me. What I can do is support your body in turning down the volume on that threatened feeling that has been coming up since the trauma-inducing events.

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.
