Katherine Coder
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, PhD, LPC, LMHC
Trauma and PTSD are ultimately forms of nervous system dysregulation and where the primitive brain may be holding onto life experience that was too early, too fast or too much ~ all of which overwhelms our natural capacities for processing. We can work with Somatic Experiencing and Deep Brain Orienting to help you move through what overwhelmed you so that your nervous system can return to a regulated state. It is very possible to heal from both trauma and PTSD, and you can do more than manage your symptoms. Our bodies are made to heal!

Susana Levy, Makaua Art Therapy
Art Therapist, LPCC, ATRP
My specialty is supporting people living with trauma and PTSD through mindfulness-based, person-centered practices that prioritize safety, choice, and gentle reconnection with the present moment. Drawing on rituals and rites of passage, as well as my work as a cacao facilitator and yoga teacher, I create grounding, embodied spaces that support regulation and resilience. I value compassionate presence, creativity, and body awareness as ways to explore thoughts, emotions, and sensations at a pace that honors each individual’s lived experience.

Hannah Shoshana Dresdner
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I deeply recognize the multifaceted impact of trauma and PTSD, and the sensitivity that must be in place to tend to you as you move through processing traumatic experiences- whether a single occurance, or a prolonged experience. Building trust is always the first step in any therapuetic relationship, but especially when it comes to trauma work. I work to make sure you feels safe in the relationship, checking in along the way. We work to attune to your nervous system, with the intent to reinstate a sense of personal safety, both within yourself, and in the world. Together, when ready we can work to reprocess the traumatic memories/experiences using EMDR, somatic work and parts work to ensure that what was not processed/felt at the time of the trauma is able to be moved through adequately in a safe and contained environment.

Emma Sartwell
Counselor/Therapist, MDiv, SEP, Registered Psychotherapist
We specialize in Trauma and PTSD, including C-PTSD. Trauma is anything that happens too much, too fast, or too soon. Our bodies have ways to move through these high-intensity states, but they often need a little help and support to metabolize our experiences slowly and safely. Through somatic trauma therapy, we help you work with these responses at a pace that feels safe and manageable.

Christopher Cannon
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, CAS, SEP
Trauma lives in the body, often showing up as anxiety, numbness, hypervigilance, or reactions that feel out of proportion. As a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, I help clients gently release survival energy that got stuck, without having to relive the worst moments in detail. I work with both single-incident trauma and complex PTSD rooted in childhood.

PTSD/Trauma
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).

PTSD/Trauma
Timothy Long
Registered Psychotherapist
I myself grew up in a toxic, dysfunctional, abusive family. It caused me to suffer many years from severe complex PTSD, anxiety, depression, social anxiety with severe blushing, and much more. Trauma and PTSD can be caused by many experiences in childhood or in our adult years. Just talk therapy will not resolve it. After trying many therapies myself, and training in different forms of therapy, I know what really works. I want to help you resolve your trauma and/or PTSD. It is not as difficult as many people think. I offer a 30 minute complimentary session for you to find how we can work together to heal and create the life you want. You can easily schedule on my website or email me.

I have a lot of experience working with individuals with trauma history, as it is often prevalent among individuals suffering from addiction. I've learned to help people process past trauma while also developing coping skills for the present, including replacing maladaptive coping mechanisms.
