PTSD/Trauma
Jenelle N. Ashley
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC, MCAP, CCTP
Trauma can leave you feeling disconnected, on edge, or unsure why certain emotions or reactions show up so strongly. You may notice patterns like shutting down, feeling overwhelmed, or avoiding situations that once felt easy. These responses aren’t flaws, they’re learned forms of protection that made sense at the time.
In therapy, we work together to understand these patterns with clarity and compassion. My approach is steady, supportive, and paced to your comfort. We focus on helping you feel more grounded in your body, more present in your daily life, and more connected to yourself. You don’t have to revisit every detail of the past; instead, we explore how those experiences show up now and build healthier ways to respond.
Healing is possible, and you don’t have to navigate it alone.

Karen Hartfield, MA, LMHC, Fearless Heart Counseling
Licensed Professional Counselor, Certified Sandplay Therapist with STA
Sandplay therapy can actually be a very beneficial supplement to working with trauma. Processing trauma in a safe, protected place allows a person to feel the pain of their feelings in a deep way so that these feelings can then be released. Having a new relationship with past traumatic events is one of the main goals of working with trauma.

5 Pointes Wellness
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, NCC, ACS, CST
Trauma can feel deeply isolating and impact every part of life. I use trauma-informed therapies—like EMDR, somatic experiencing, and gentle processing—to help clients safely reclaim their narrative, feel grounded in their bodies, and restore trust in themselves and others.

PTSD/Trauma
Shanea McDaniel
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, APRN, PMHNP-BC
I provide compassionate, trauma-informed care for individuals who have experienced emotional, physical, or psychological trauma, including those living with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). My collaborative, evidence-based approach prioritizes safety, trust, and pacing care in a way that feels manageable for each individual. Treatment focuses on reducing symptoms such as hypervigilance, intrusive memories, anxiety, mood instability, and emotional distress while supporting clients in rebuilding a sense of safety and control. When appropriate, I integrate medication management with supportive therapy and coping strategies to promote healing, resilience, and long-term emotional recovery.

PTSD/Trauma
Thomas Hanna
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, NCC, CCTP, CCATP
Following a traumatic event, everyone experiences certain symptoms. It’s the sleepless nights, the sudden recollections that invade your memories, and the unexpected panic in situations that remind you of the event.
For many of us, that experience fades over time. With PTSD, something blocks that natural recovery. Rather than fading away, those reactions intensify.
It is this intensification that forms many of the symptoms of PTSD. These symptoms include:
- Sudden, unexpected memories
- Avoiding locations and events
- Difficulty sleeping
- Feeling "jumpy" or easily startled
- Feeling perpetually “in danger”
It is estimated that 70% of adults have experienced a traumatic event at some point in their life. Because trauma can be complex and overwhelming, it requires a knowledgable approach to treatment.
Trauma Therapy With Tempest Counseling
The goal of treating trauma is to identify what is “blocking” that ability to recover, overcome those barriers, and facilitate that process of healing.
To accomplish this, Tempest draws from three of the leading evidence-based treatments for trauma. These include Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TFCBT), and Prolonged Exposure Therapy (PE). All three of these are considered the gold standard for PTSD treatment.
Better still, these three approaches have proven to be highly effective online. Each has particular strengths, and some methods work better depending on the unique experiences of the client. At Tempest, we employ a combination of these three protocols, tailored to your specific needs.
This unique, individualized approach is what allows Tempest to be so effective in trauma treatment.
