Trauma and PTSD
New Foundation Counseling
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
New Foundation Counseling is a trauma-focused therapy office. When we meet people we don't focus on what is wrong with you but rather what have you gone through. Not dealing with trauma doesn't make it go away. Not dealing with trauma just has the trauma manifest in your life other ways, such as depression, low self-esteem, isolation, PTSD, having disordered thoughts, social anxiety, addiction, and relationship issues. It isn't easy address your traumas, (ex: abuse, violence, abandonment, anger, neglect) but the benefit of doing so can be life altering. Instead of being bogged down by your past, you can live for the present and the future.

Trauma and PTSD
Natalie Stemati
Psychologist, Psy.D.
A lot of people experience trauma within their family of origin. I work with developmental (childhood) and attachment (ways of learning how to emotionally bond) trauma which includes growing up in alcoholism, abuse, conflict, parent death and/or any traumatic experience endured during childhood. As a result, a lot of people develop a type of insecure attachment that impacts their current relationships (i.e. dependency, fear, conflict, anxiety).

TRS Neurofeedback & Counseling
Counselor/Therapist, Ph.D., LPC, BCN, QEEG-D
With developmental trauma we have found that the brain and body "Keep the Score" as Bessel Vanderkolk explains in his book on the subject. Neurofeedback gently helps the brain shift and heal from past trauma. It is not as quick and easy as less complex anxiety and depression, but most clients get to a significantly better place of emotional and behavioral regulation.

Sarah J Thompson
Counselor/Therapist, MEd, LPC
Most people will experience trauma in their lifetime whether it’s a car accident, abuse or neglect, the sudden death of a loved one, a violent criminal act, exposure to the violence of war, or a natural disaster.
While many people can recover from trauma over time with the love and support of family and friends and bounce back with resiliency, others may discover effects of lasting trauma, which can cause a person to live with deep emotional pain, fear, confusion, or post-traumatic stress far after the event has passed.
In these circumstances, the support, guidance, and assistance of a therapist is fundamental to healing from trauma.
