PTSD/Trauma
Melissa Clark with Fire and Reins
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I support individuals who are living with the effects of trauma and PTSD, including symptoms such as hypervigilance, emotional reactivity or numbness, intrusive memories, difficulty trusting others, and feeling disconnected from safety in themselves or their environment. This work is paced carefully and guided by your capacity, with a strong emphasis on stabilization and emotional safety.
In our work together, we focus on how trauma has shaped your nervous system, relationships, and sense of self in the present moment. Rather than forcing re-experiencing, we build awareness of protective responses, strengthen regulation skills, and gently increase your ability to stay grounded while staying connected to your experience.
This is a collaborative, trauma-informed approach aimed at helping you restore a sense of safety, agency, and internal steadiness, so you can move through life and relationships with more clarity and support.

PTSD/Trauma
Glenn Permar
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Trauma and PTSD often show up as a nervous system that feels stuck between high alert and shutdown. Even when life looks stable, you may feel easily triggered, emotionally flooded, shut down, or constantly on edge. I work with adults to gently understand these patterns and build steadier responses without rushing the process. Therapy moves at a pace that supports safety and regulation, helping you regain clarity, control, and a grounded sense of self.

Christo Brehm
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, SEP
I specialize in trauma and PTSD using Somatic Experiencing (SEP) and Trauma-Informed CBT in a tri-phase approach: stabilization, processing, and integration. These gentle, body-centered methods help release stuck fight/flight/freeze responses, process overwhelming experiences at a safe pace through titration and pendulation, and restore a felt sense of safety, resilience, and presence. Highly effective for anxiety, irritability, dissociation, emotional overwhelm, or lingering effects of past stress and trauma.

Jamie Andersen, M.A., LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, Woodland Counseling
As Gabor Mate says:
"Trauma is a Greek word for wound. Literally that's what it means. So when you understand that, then you realize...trauma is not what happens to you. Trauma is what happens inside you as a result of what happened to you. "Trauma is not the event that inflicted the wound. So, the trauma is not the sexual abuse, the trauma is not the war. Trauma is not the abandonment. The trauma is not the inability of your parents to see you for who you were. Trauma is the wound that you sustained as a result. I have worked with trauma throughout my career and will support you in your healing process. Up to 70% of adults will experience a traumatic event in their lives, sometimes this turns into a PTSD condition. Receiving trauma therapy to assist you on your healing journey can make a big difference. I often combine EMDR and IFS in the trauma work I do with clients and have found many clients respond well to these therapy techniques.

PTSD/Trauma
Sarah J Thompson
Counselor/Therapist, MEd, LPC, LCMHC
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.
