PTSD/Trauma
Dr. Lynne Logan
Marriage and Family Therapist, Ph.D., Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
Trauma and PTSD can be discovered on several levels. For example -- a one time car crash. A victim or a crime. Abuse of any kind. Chronic child abuse. Relational abuse. Being bullied or humiliated. Past traumas that are not resolved are held in a special organ in the brain called the 'amygdala.' The traumatic memory can be 'triggered' off and on for years -- which can and will ultimately interfere in many aspects of ones life. The great news is that unprocessed traumas and PTSD can be effectively treated. You can be free of disturbing memories and emotional recalls that cause anxiety, flashbacks, nightmares, etc. Help is available.

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.

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.

Tanya Samuelian
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.S., Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
Trauma isn’t always loud—it can live quietly beneath high achievement, control, or emotional distance. Many high-functioning individuals carry past wounds that continue to impact their relationships, self-worth, or sense of safety. I offer a compassionate, trauma-informed space to process what’s been buried, reconnect with your inner world, and move toward lasting healing and integration. You don’t have to carry it alone.

PTSD/Trauma
Jennifer Canu
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Acknowledging an event as traumatic is scary, and it can be easy to minimize our past experiences particularly when we feel "fine". Yet one may experience a variety of mental health symptoms and/or patterns which may feel uncomfortable or interfere with various life areas. These patterns likely helped you survive the traumatic experience, yet continued despite no longer being needed. I have over 15 years experience in treating symptoms of trauma and PTSD in children, adolescents, and adults. I utilize an integrated approach, incorporating psychoeducation, parts work (IFS), EMDR therapy, mindfulness and CBT to support clients of all ages with processing the traumatic experience and integrating adaptive information and new, more effective patterns.
