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!

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.

Rising Calm Center
Life Coach, MA, CMHC
I help individuals impacted by trauma and PTSD gently process overwhelming experiences that may still be affecting their thoughts, emotions, body, and sense of safety. Through a compassionate, trauma-informed, and faith-based approach, I support clients in understanding their nervous system responses, reducing symptoms of hypervigilance and distress, and safely working through painful memories at a tolerable pace. My desire is to help individuals experience healing, restoration, and renewed safety—both internally and in their relationship with God—so they can move forward with greater peace, stability, and freedom.
