PTSD/Trauma
Jennifer Dash Therapy
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, EMDR, MCAP, NCC
PTSD often leaves you feeling stuck in the past, with trauma memories triggering intense distress, flashbacks, or emotional numbness in your daily life. To help you move forward, I integrate EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) with Ego State therapy (Parts Work). This dual approach allows us to safely process the distressing memories held in the nervous system while gently healing the wounded, defensive parts of your personality that developed to protect you. Together, we can unburden these parts, reduce your triggers, and restore a true sense of inner harmony and safety.

Trauma is actually a really big umbrella. Everyone experiences trauma in their life, some are severe and some are not and how they affect people will vary from person to person. Many don't even realize that they have actually experienced trauma and don't recognize how it is truly showing up in their relationships, work and life in general. Trauma and PTSD related issue can affect EVERY area of your life.

Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Every one has trauma. It all depends on how we try to fix it. Trauma was not your fault but it’s your responsiblity to fix it. With each passing years trauma will cement itself into your mind and forcing you to develop abnormal behavior, poor boundaries, lack of self esteem and poor attachment.

Fort Lauderdale has one of the largest LGBTQ+ communities and most established affirming therapy ecosystems in the southeastern United States, with LGBTQ+-focused practices and therapists well represented across the city and Broward County. The city's affluent waterfront and yachting culture — and its reputation as a destination for wealthy retirees and seasonal residents — create a distinctive therapy clientele that includes high-net-worth individuals navigating relationship complexity, addiction, and the existential weight of leisure-focused affluence. Broward Health and Memorial Healthcare System provide institutional mental health resources for a county of nearly two million people. Fort Lauderdale's large Brazilian and Haitian communities generate demand for Portuguese- and Haitian Creole-speaking therapists, and the broader South Florida recovery community makes addiction treatment and aftercare among the most active practice areas in the region.
