Still Waters Counseling and Therapy
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC
Traumatic experiences can have a lasting impact on how we view ourselves, others, and the world around us. I help individuals process and heal from trauma by creating a safe, supportive environment where they can explore their experiences without judgment. I am trained in trauma-focused therapies, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), which can help clients work through painful memories, reduce trauma triggers, and move toward healing and greater emotional freedom.

Dr. John E. N. Daniel
Marriage and Family Therapist, EdD; EdS; MA; MA; LCMFT#0404011018; BCCLC#0131
Several factors have been identified as important in understanding recovery and adjustment among traumatized patients (Green, Korol, & Grace, 1991; Chamberlain, 2008; Pine & Cohen, 2002). These include event parameters, individual child risk and protective factors as well as environmental variables. I employ Family Systems Therapy initially to both the level of exposure to the event and to isolate the level of client psychopathology.

Dr. Kelsi Clayson
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Trauma has a way of showing up and persisting despite our efforts to keep it at bay. For some, it’s like a thorn that has settled into place and doesn’t hurt too badly as long as you focus your attention elsewhere. For others, it’s an unavoidable, constant source of pain, anger, and fear. Whether it happened recently or decades ago, trauma can take up valuable space in our lives. This may come in the form of unwanted memories, difficulty trusting others, feeling on edge, irritability, avoiding certain situations, or maybe all of the above. Unfortunately, efforts to avoid thinking about past traumatic events often keep people from seeking treatment and finding relief. Although challenging, addressing and resolving emotional wounds can be incredibly liberating and rewarding. Trauma treatment can positively shift the lens through which you see yourself, your relationships, and ultimately the world around you.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Trauma can change the way you see yourself, others, and the world around you. Whether you've experienced a single traumatic event or ongoing trauma over time, the effects can continue long after the experience has ended. You may find yourself living in survival mode—feeling constantly on edge, overwhelmed by intrusive memories, nightmares, anxiety, emotional numbness, difficulty trusting others, or avoiding situations that remind you of what happened. These are common responses to trauma, and healing is possible.
At Holding Space Therapy, we specialize in trauma-informed care and provide evidence-based treatment for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), complex trauma, childhood trauma, first responder trauma, and other trauma-related concerns. We understand that every person's experience is unique, and therapy is tailored to your individual history, needs, and goals. Our priority is to create a safe, supportive environment where healing can occur at a pace that feels manageable and empowering. Treatment may include Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, grounding techniques, and nervous system regulation. Together, we'll work to process traumatic memories, reduce emotional distress, challenge trauma-related beliefs, strengthen coping skills, and help your mind and body move out of survival mode. The goal is not to erase your experiences but to lessen their impact so they no longer control your daily life.
We have extensive experience working with adults who have experienced childhood abuse, sexual abuse, relationship trauma, medical trauma, workplace trauma, and cumulative stress, including first responders, healthcare professionals, and others in high-stress occupations who are regularly exposed to traumatic events. We also recognize how trauma can affect relationships, self-esteem, emotional regulation, and your sense of safety, and we address these areas as part of the healing process. Recovery from trauma is possible. You are more than what has happened to you, and you don't have to carry the weight of your experiences alone. With compassionate support and evidence-based treatment, you can build resilience, reconnect with your strengths, restore a sense of safety, and create a life guided by hope rather than fear.

Cindy Yu
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Trauma is like a infected wound that sometimes the surface layer has healed, but the damage is still continuing within. An unhealed wound can often be reopened by different triggers, and the symptoms and patterns repeat again. As your therapist, my role is guide and help you affectively "clean" and "treat" the wound, so that it can stop the damage and heal properly.
