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.

Trauma and PTSD are very prevalent and unrecognized. Both can shape your worldview and perspective. I seek to help individuals make sense of their trauma without self blame.

Rebecca Phillips, MS, LPC, CCTP, EMDR Therapist in Frisco Texas
Licensed Professional Counselor, Master of Science, LPC, EMDR Therapist, CCTP: Complex Trauma
It's estimated that 70% of adults in the U.S. have experienced trauma. When we suppress trauma, it stays locked within us and takes a toll on our nervous system, brains, and bodies. Trauma changes who we are, and not always for the better. We can become nervous, irritable, angry, distrustful, and negative. I specialize in treating trauma, PTSD, and complex trauma (CPTSD) with EMDR - the gold standard treatment for trauma and PTSD. Contact me to find out more about trauma therapy in Frisco Texas and virtually throughout the states of Texas, Colorado, and Florida.

Dr. Daniele Levy, Bay Area Cognitive Therapy
Psychologist, PhD, MBA
In treating trauma and PTSD, I use Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), a proven, structured approach that helps individuals reframe and process their traumatic experiences. Through this evidence-based treatment, we work together to challenge unhelpful beliefs about safety, power, trust, esteem and intimacy, and process the emotions tied to the trauma. By focusing on these areas, CPT helps reduce symptoms of PTSD and empowers clients to regain control over their lives, improving emotional resilience and overall well-being.

Christina Duncan
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I work with children, teens, young adults, and families who have experienced trauma or are struggling with PTSD. I provide a safe, supportive space to process difficult experiences, manage overwhelming emotions, and work toward healing at a pace that feels right. My approach is trauma-informed, strengths-based, and neurodiversity-affirming. I support families in understanding trauma’s impact, improving communication, and fostering safety and connection at home. Together, we focus on building coping skills, resilience, and a sense of empowerment.
