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.

North Port, Florida therapist: Lisa C. Holder, licensed professional counselor
PTSD/Trauma

Lisa C. Holder

Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, LPC
The affects of trauma can be debilitating and long lasting. Sometimes it is invisible to others as it is buried deep in the body and nervous system causing problems in relationships, health, and self esteem. Trauma and PTSD can be triggered out of seemingly nowhere and when we least expect it, or it can be an ongoing daily interference to a happy life. I have over 25 years of experience treating trauma in its various forms such as abuse, war, and accidents to name just a few. I use an eclectic approach including EMDR and Somatic therapies. If you are struggling with any type of traumatic experience I’d love to help you!

Brooklyn, New York therapist: Yaffa Dyckman, licensed clinical social worker
PTSD/Trauma

Yaffa Dyckman

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Traumatic experiences and PTSD can be so hard to live with. It can mean sleepless nights, avoidance of people and places, hypervigilance and more. EMDR is a highly effective treatment for PTSD. I am an EMDR certified clinician. I have seen the wonderful results that EMDR can have with both traumatic experiences and memories as well as with negative beliefs and feelings that we take out of trauma.I take the pace that is right for each client. Let's do this work together. It can be a game changer.
