PTSD/Trauma
Dr. Millie C. Astin
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Trauma can happen to anyone at any time. Combat, sexual assault, interpersonal violence, and other forms of injury and threat to life can lead to crippling symptoms of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). These can include intrusive thoughts about the trauma, nightmares, feeing on guard, not being able to sleep or concentrate, irritability, and feeling disconnected from others. There are several very effective treatments for PTSD that help you face the trauma directly so you can come to terms with it and move on with your life. These include Prolonged Exposure Therapy (PE), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Eye Movement and Desensitization Therapy (EMDR) and a new, briefer treatment called Written Exposure Therapy (WET). I have extensive experience with all of these approaches and can help you regain your life with them. Additionally, I worked for many years at the Veterans Affairs Healthcare System, leading the PTSD Clinic, so have lots of familiarity with veterans as well as civilians.

Rena Diamond
Counselor/Therapist, MS, APC, NCC, CCH
Traumatic experiences can occur at any point in the lifespan, and be acute, chronic, or complex. Humans are inherently deeply resilient, yet without treatment, the aftereffects of trauma can last for years, causing physical or emotional symptoms, impacting our sense of safety in the world, and influencing our relationships in unpredictable ways.

PTSD/Trauma
Mikela Hallmark
Therapist, MS, LPC, LMHC
Post-traumatic stress isn’t just about flashbacks or nightmares — it’s what happens when overwhelming experiences don’t get to complete their cycle. It’s a nervous system stuck in survival mode, long after the threat is gone. You might feel hyperaware, disconnected, emotionally numb, or easily triggered by things you can’t always explain.
I work with PTSD through a relational, trauma-informed lens that honors the intelligence of your coping strategies while helping you build new experiences of safety, connection, and choice. We don’t rush. We don’t retraumatize. We work gently, at your pace, with deep respect for the ways your body and mind have protected you.
Healing isn’t about forgetting what happened — it’s about reclaiming your sense of self outside of what happened. Together, we’ll create space for your story, your voice, and your right to feel fully alive again.

PTSD/Trauma
Amenah Arman
Therapist, MS-CLINICAL MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELING, Nationally Certified Counselor
Trauma can shape how the nervous system responds to stress, relationships, and responsibility long after the original experience has passed. For many high-performing professionals, creatives, and leaders, trauma may show up as hypervigilance, emotional shutdown, perfectionism, or a constant sense of pressure to stay in control. Through trauma-informed therapy, narrative work, and nervous system regulation, we focus on helping the body and mind process unresolved experiences so you can feel safer, more grounded, and more present in your life and work.

PTSD/Trauma
Dr. Jessica Shine
Licensed Professional Counselor, EdD, LPC
Most people will experience trauma in their lifetime whether it’s a car accident, abuse or neglect, the sudden death of a loved one, a violent criminal act, exposure to the violence of war, or a natural disaster.
While many people can recover from trauma over time with the love and support of family and friends and bounce back with resiliency, others may discover the effects of lasting trauma, which can cause a person to live with deep emotional pain, fear, confusion, or posttraumatic stress far after the event has passed.
In these circumstances, the support, guidance, and assistance of a therapist are fundamental to healing from trauma.
