Jenn Zatopek
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, EMDR
I'm a trauma specialist, and I use EMDR and mindfulness to help you heal from past pain. EMDR helps to unlock the trauma from the nervous system, but I don't start out doing EMDR. I start out doing a lot of resourcing and grounding to help you feel safe inside your own skin. Then when you are ready to begin processing we can do so.

Stephanie Miodus
Psychologist, PhD, NCSP
I have extensive experience conducting therapy and assessments for children, teens, and adults affected by trauma, including those involved in foster care and adoption, survivors of childhood sexual abuse, bullying, chronic health conditions, and interactions with the justice system. My training includes trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT), and I have delivered cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) for PTSD to trauma-impacted college students as part of a federally funded clinical treatment study. My work also focuses on tailoring trauma therapy to meet the needs of autistic individuals, a topic I have presented on at the Philadelphia Trauma Training Conference. Further, I have presented at The American Professional Society on the Abuse of Children Colloquiums. I have also published peer-reviewed research on trauma and PTSD and their relationship to ADHD.

Dr. Rebeca Meléndez
Psychologist, PsyD, LMHC
Traumatic experiences including the exposure to domestic violence, crime and natural disasters can lead to individuals developing PTSD. Trauma-focused therapy can help you heal from the trauma, regain a sense of control over your life and help improve your symptoms by developing coping skills to manage your symptoms, help you develop healthy thoughts about yourself, others and the world, and treat other problems often related to traumatic experiences such as depression, anxiety, and fears.

Shannon Gorres
Life Coach, MDiv, MA
My understanding of trauma has shifted along with international research on why some events create lasting challenging effects for some people but not for others. Our collective awareness has gone from thinking, “What's wrong with you?” to asking, “What happened to you?” and now focusing on, “Who was there for you?”
A simple retelling of a traumatic experience does not always deeply heal the one who suffers. While it can feel good to be truly heard, especially for those who have never told it before and need real empathy, repeatedly telling the story does not often change the subconscious beliefs implanted during the trauma or the nervous system’s reactivity.
Instead, we build a new relationship with a traumatic experience by re-approaching the memory and inviting a shift. Often the shift is around “Who could have been there for you.” While in factual reality, no one may have stopped the trauma, we can access another perspective that enables our bodies, hearts, and minds to feel supported. We can do this many ways: through role play, through calling in ancestors or pop stars or our highest selves, or by letting our wise adult-self take over the situation. Or we may use drawing materials or nature to discover a new part of the experience we didn’t realize before.
I've taken many trainings in the origins and effects of trauma and PTSD, and I find working with the nervous system and imaginal realm (creative liminal space) highly effective. I'm not a licensed mental health therapist; I'm a spiritual life coach, so my work is integrative. I offer: calm spaciousness & empathy as you talk, embodied processing options (drawing, clay work, self soothing), and inner parts work (mediated inner dialogue or a “committee of voices,” similar to Soulwork or Internal Family Systems).
Then we make a plan to implement the new shift into everyday life.
