Trauma and PTSD
Inner Expansions Therapy Services
Counselor/Therapist
When a person experiences a single event trauma like a car accident their entire world changes almost instantly. When a person has repeated traumas over time, like a difficult childhood their outlook on the world shifts. Many trauma survivors have a hard time feeling safe and secure. Survivors may begin to feel anxious and depressed, they may have trouble sleeping or nightmares, and may experience other behavioral changes that are frightening to them and their loved ones.
When you have experienced trauma and begin to see some of the symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), it’s time to explore treatment so you can begin healing. The idea of therapy can sometimes feel scary and overwhelming to people with PTSD. But trauma therapy is really something that can be very empowering. With the help of a caring and qualified mental health professional the person can begin to process past events in a safe way.
Trauma therapy such as EMDR and IFS has the potential to actually change the way your brain works through what is called neuroplasticity. Neuroplasticity means our brains and neural pathways (how we think and feel) can change. Through specific therapy tools and strategies we can retrain our brains to let go of the fear and begin to heal.

Erik Edler
Counselor/Therapist, MA, LMFT
We live in a world where traumatic experiences are all too common. Frightening and even life-threatening events happen around us and may even invade a person's life; we call these experiences "shock trauma." Many people have also experienced "developmental trauma," when every day of growing up they faced intensely difficult circumstances. Trauma and PTSD take a terrible toll on a person's mental and emotional health and wellbeing. Generally speaking, it doesn't just go away on it's own; it requires treatment. I am here to help, and would be happy to answer any questions you have.

Nancie Kohlenberger
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Trauma and PTSD: Many clients come into therapy with a history of abuse and trauma. I provide a safe atmosphere of carin and acceptance so that these issues can be safely explored. EMDR or Eye Movement Desensitivity and Reprocessing is the best tool I know to sort these issues out and to heal them.

Therapy can offer tremendous benefits to individuals who have experienced trauma or are grappling with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Traumatic experiences can manifest in various ways and significantly impact our daily lives. Through therapy, we can collaboratively process and heal from these experiences, creating a safe and nurturing environment to explore and comprehend their effects on our mental well-being. If you or a loved one are exhibiting symptoms of trauma or PTSD, I extend an invitation to reach out and schedule an appointment with me. Taking that first step towards healing may be daunting, but it can also be incredibly empowering. Let's embark on this journey of growth and recovery together.
