PTSD/Trauma
Danny Boylan
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Work with trauma — particularly complex or developmental trauma — is often deep, challenging, and profoundly meaningful. Experiences that overwhelm our capacity to cope can leave lasting imprints on how we relate to ourselves, others, and the world around us. Over time, these effects may show up as hypervigilance, emotional numbness, shame, relationship difficulties, or a persistent sense of being unsafe or disconnected.
In my work with trauma and PTSD, I place a strong emphasis on helping clients gently understand how their nervous system, emotional responses, and patterns of self-protection were shaped by past experiences. This is not about reliving trauma, but about creating enough safety to begin making sense of what happened and how it continues to influence the present. When these patterns are understood with compassion, space often opens for relief, regulation, and healing.
This kind of work unfolds slowly and at a pace that respects your readiness and sense of safety. While it can be demanding, many clients experience a deep sense of relief as old wounds begin to loosen their hold. I see my role as a steady, collaborative presence — a copilot — as you work toward greater freedom from experiences that have weighed heavily for far too long.

PTSD/Trauma
Mary Elizabeth Burns, MS, NCC, LPC
Counselor/Therapist, MS, NCC, LPC
I provide trauma therapy for adults and teens experiencing PTSD, complex trauma, and the lasting effects of emotional, psychological, or relational trauma, including narcissistic abuse. Trauma can show up as anxiety, emotional reactivity, disconnection, perfectionism, body image concerns, or feeling stuck in survival mode.
Using somatic therapy, nervous system regulation, breathwork, and evidence-based approaches such as CBT and DBT, I help clients process trauma safely, reduce symptoms, and restore a sense of control and self-trust. Trauma therapy supports healing that is paced, grounded, and focused on both the mind and body.

Open Hearted Holistic Therapy
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I look at each individual through a trauma informed lens and that means that I don’t ask the question “what is wrong with you?” but instead I ask “what happened to you?”
Trauma shapes how we view ourselves in the world and sometimes it teaches us to believe that we are the problem. I think if we can find out what taught us to believe that it is our fault or we are the one responsible for everybody’s well-being or we are bad, then we can work to reshape that belief.

Allyse Teltser
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Trauma does not stay in the past. It shows up in the body, in relationships, in the way certain moments can pull you back to something you have spent years trying to leave behind. Whether the trauma was a single event or a lifetime of experiences, the impact is real and it deserves real treatment. I use EMDR - one of the most research-supported trauma treatments available - to help clients process what happened without having to relive it in detail. Healing from trauma is possible. It does not have to define the rest of your life.
