PTSD/Trauma
Alistair Highet
Licensed Psychoanalyst, MA, LP, NCPsyA
Trauma leaves a mark on us, one that sometimes we can't see, but only experience. PTSD is complex, and sometimes the mechanism of our behavior is hard to uncover. We can explore that in an open, compassionate, non-judgmental way. Being human is very difficult, and we are all vulnerable to the wounds the world inflicts on us. But we can move forward. I know myself, and I know others who have done so.

PTSD/Trauma
Sarah Gersick
Psychologist, Ph.D.
When we experience a trauma, it fundamentally changes our beliefs about ourselves, other people, or the world—or all three. These changes can be tremendously disruptive to our lives and our relationships. I work with trauma in three ways: with techniques to address acute symptoms, with psychodynamic work to understand and challenge the maladaptive beliefs and patterns that resulted from the trauma, and with EMDR to intensively reprocess the trauma in a healthier, more integrated way.

Clare Campbell
Psychologist, Ph.D.
As a clinical psychologist with over a decade of experience, I provide intensive psychotherapy for individuals navigating stress and anxiety, including those with a history of trauma. I offer telehealth sessions to clients across the United States, as well as in-person appointments in Darien, Connecticut. My approach is highly individualized, grounded in the belief that meaningful change arises through a deeper understanding of one’s emotional life in the present moment. Together, we will work to uncover and shift long-standing patterns that may be interfering with your well-being, relationships, or sense of self. I aim to bring both compassion and challenge to our work—meeting you with respect, curiosity, and acceptance, while also encouraging growth toward a more authentic and connected version of yourself.

Lisa Taylor-Austin
Licensed Professional Counselor, NCC, LPC, LMHC, CFMHE, CFBA, LCPC, LCMHC
I use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to support clients in working through experiences that may feel emotionally or physically “stuck.” This approach helps process and integrate past traumatic events so that the emotions and body-based responses connected to those memories become less overwhelming. As a result, clients are often better able to remain present, engage more fully in their lives, and move toward their authentic potential. EMDR has been shown to be particularly effective for individuals experiencing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and complex PTSD (C-PTSD).

Susan Lobosco Benner
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Trauma is often at the root of many of the symptoms and struggles that bring people to therapy. I have many tools to offer to facilitate the process of healing from trauma. The first is a safe therapeutic relationship grounded in many years of experience where you will experience compassion, connection and caring that lead to insight and deepened understanding. Others include Accelerated Resolution Therapy which has proven to be a powerful way to reprocess trauma and detach from triggers, leaving you to live a life free from the daily impact of past and recent traumas. The combination of these tools and others lead to healing of both mind and body, which is essential as both are intricately involved in how we carry trauma.
