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.

Licensed Professional Counselor, M.A., LPC
Trauma is a pesky voice in your subconscious telling you to be afraid in the current life even though the fear is in the past. Recognizing that "now" is safe is imperative to healing and moving forward in a healthy way. I can help clients process and heal from their past which opens the door to a more joyful present and a future full of possibilities

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.

Alena Porter
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, NCC
Trauma and PTSD, especially C-PTSD, includes any emotional experience that was upsetting and different than you had experienced up to that point in your life. C-PTSD often involves parental neglect, unavailability, or inconsistency. I am not one of the therapists who will tell you that you need to forgive and rebuild your relationsihp with anyone you choose not to have in your life. The idea that people should continue to endure mistreatment simply because someone is family is absurd. Of course, trauma and PTSD can include experiencing or witnessing any type of violence, abuse, accidents, or the threats of violence or abuse. Trauma has been my specialty since the beginning of my career and I have taken extensive training on the treatment of trauma. More importantly than if I am qualified to treat you for upsetting or traumatic past experiences is the fact that I will never minimize your experiences. Please do not avoid going to therapy because you think what you experienced was "not that bad." If it was upsetting to you when it happened and it still affects your life in any way I want to help you reduce or eliminate the impact of those experiences on your present day and future life.

Amber Creamer
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
Are you a woman that grew up needing to believe you had a good childhood, but now you are struggling with the fact that things were not picture perfect. It has been difficult to face the fact that there are things you have experienced that no child should ever experience. You’re angry at the fact you should have been loved, protected, and cared for- but those closest to you misused their power and authority. Maybe you wanted to talk about things, but you felt it was not safe to do so. You hate the fact that your life has been defined by some of these early experiences. The good news is it doesn’t have to stay this way. Online therapy can help you reclaim your power and take back control of your life by addressing and resolving negative childhood experiences. I would love to be able to support you on this journey towards healing so you can experience a life free from past burdens and truly leave the past behind.
