PTSD/Trauma
David Essel, M.S., O.M.
Counselor/Therapist, Master's Degree Psychology, Ordained All Faiths Minister
When most people think of PTSD, they think of veterans returning from war. Which is very true.
Others might think of someone who had a near-drowning experience. And that will create PTSD as well.
But there are other events in life that can create ongoing PTSD, that we may not even recognize. Childhood trauma. Losing a pet. Or a job. or a relationship. Divorce trauma. Addiction trauma. Car accident trauma. The list is endless.
For the past 30 years, number one best-selling author, counselor, master Life Coach and minister David Essel has been helping people to understand the power of trauma, PTSD, and the stress of trying to live with either.

Lauren Whitlow
Psychologist, PsyD
Experiencing trauma can affect the way you think, feel, relate to others, and move through the world long after the event has passed. Whether your experiences stem from childhood, relationships, a single traumatic event, or ongoing stress, healing is possible. I provide a compassionate, trauma-informed approach that emphasizes safety, trust, and collaboration.

Throughout my nearly 40 year career, I have been privileged to assist hundreds of women, girls, men and boys recover from personal traumas and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. I use EMDR when indicated to assist in the recovery process and I have had excellent results using this modality. While we cannot make something "unhppen," we can take its power away and give you back control over it.

Cape Coral is one of Florida's fastest-growing cities, a sprawling canal city in Lee County whose rapid expansion has been driven by retirees, seasonal residents, and younger families relocating from higher cost-of-living states. The city was among the hardest hit by Hurricane Ian in 2022, and climate-related anxiety, disaster trauma, and the psychological stress of rebuilding remain significant mental health concerns for many residents. The city's heavily suburban, car-dependent geography means therapy is primarily delivered through private practices and telehealth, as public transit options are limited. Common therapy themes include grief, relationship stress, anxiety, adjustment challenges for new residents, and the mental health pressures of managing life in a rapidly developing, disaster-affected coastal community.
