PTSD/Trauma
Kelly Baez
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, LPC
Like trying to digest a big meal, when things happen that are too much to emotionally/mentally "digest" they can lead to nightmares, flashbacks, anxiety, and more. When this happens, I recommend clients try EMDR. While evidence-based practices like Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), are helpful, it can take months or even years to recover. Not so with EMDR! Whether your trauma is decades in the making or it happened yesterday...isn't it time to start feeling better?

Molly Halbrooks
Counselor/Therapist, LMFT
I utilize EMDR (Eye-Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) and IFS (Internal Family Systems) to help you identify traumatic wounds and begin your healing journey. Trauma work is incredibly worthwhile but can be taxing, so we will move at the pace that feels safe and manageable for you. We explore the full scope of your life, as you are more than your traumatic experiences; we focus both on what has happened in the past, and how to live your life now in a way that feels fulfilled, peaceful, and balanced.

Life By Design Counseling
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, CPCS, M.Div.
Experiences from the past can continue to affect how you feel, think, and relate to yourself and others in the present. You might notice ongoing anxiety, emotional overwhelm, difficulty trusting, or feeling disconnected from yourself. At times, it can feel like your body and mind are still reacting to something that’s already over.
I help women gently process and heal from trauma in a way that feels safe and manageable. Together, we’ll work to understand your responses, reduce emotional reactivity, and rebuild a sense of stability and self-trust. Using approaches like CBT, IFS, and somatic therapy, we’ll address both the emotional and physical impact of trauma so you can feel more grounded, present, and in control of your life.
Healing from trauma takes time, but it is possible. You don’t have to navigate it alone.

Columbus, Georgia is home to Fort Benning — one of the US Army's largest installations and the home of the Army Infantry — creating a therapy community substantially shaped by the needs of soldiers, veterans, and military families dealing with combat trauma, moral injury, PTSD, and the emotional complexity of service life. The city's African American population comprises the largest share of the civilian community, and culturally affirming therapists who work with racial identity and intergenerational resilience alongside the predominantly military therapy demand are an important part of the local landscape. Martin Army Community Hospital serves the military population, while Piedmont Columbus Regional provides civilian institutional mental health resources. Columbus shares some of its therapy ecosystem with Phenix City, Alabama directly across the Chattahoochee River, giving the metro a bi-state character.
