Trauma and PTSD
Mark Flanagan
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, MPH, MA
Trauma can irrevocably change our life. There is the time before the trauma and the time after it. We are changed, different, in some deep and lasting way. If we are in a profession or life circumstance that puts us in contact with repeated traumas, the effects ca be cumulative, slowly chipping away at our ability to live a full and meaningful life. I am fully trained in brainspotting, an effective tool for dealing with images, sensations and troubling thoughts associated with trauma. Trauma is an internal wound that needs healing, but often cannot heal on its own. I can help you navigate the difficulty of trauma, help resolve much of the negative effects and take steps into a new life, perhaps different than before, but with the hope of joy, peace and wholeness.

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.

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?

Elizabeth Banerjee
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
After trauma, you're body and mind may be out of sync, responding to perceived threats in ways that leave you exhausted and stop you from doing things you used to enjoy. I use a trauma-informed and person-centered approach to make a safe therapeutic space. Together we may develop grounding and coping tools, explore messages that you've internalized that are no longer working for you, and find ways to reattune your internal alarm system to work for you.

Tomeki Davis
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, NCC, LPC
Traumatic events often leave a lasting imprint on your life. Sometimes emotional healing from trauma can occur somewhat naturally, as life goes on. At other times, trauma leaves a more indelible impression on a person’s life by causing frequent bouts of emotional distress, impaired judgement, and even physiological symptoms. I employ Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, a form of psychotherapy developed for and scientifically proven to help people suffering from the effects of trauma and PTSD.

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.
