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.

Michaela Decker
Counselor/Therapist, LMFT
Frequently, people who have experienced trauma develop extraordinary survival skills. Often the strategies that were critical for survival, are not sustainable long term and thwart the ability to develop satisfying work, family and/or romantic relationships. Therapy provides an opportunity to become "unstuck" and transcend thinking and behavior patterns that are holding you back from realizing your potential. I specialize in the treatment of PTSD, anxiety and depression, and am trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). When distress from a disturbing event remains, the upsetting images, thoughts, and emotions may create an overwhelming feeling of being back in that moment. EMDR therapy helps the brain process these memories, and allows normal healing to resume. EMDR therapy is not complete until attention has been brought to the past memories that are contributing to the problem, the present situations that are disturbing, and what skills the needed for the future.
