Trauma and PTSD
Richard Forde
Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Professional Counselor
I address trauma and PTSD through a trauma-informed, nervous-system-focused approach that emphasizes safety, stabilization, and healing at a sustainable pace. Using evidence-based methods such as EMDR and Internal Family Systems, I help clients gently process traumatic experiences, reduce symptoms, and develop healthier, more adaptive ways of responding to stress. For clients who desire it, Christian faith can be thoughtfully integrated to support hope, meaning, and restoration.

Trauma and PTSD
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.

Trauma and PTSD
Sumer Statler Aeed
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
Trauma is the experience not just of what happened to us, but by how our bodies, neurology, and hearts respond to what happened to us. Traumas of 'small t' and traumas of 'big T' both create adaptions to our true selves that can lead in our being 'stuck' in ways that don't serve us, that may create more trauma, or disconnection from our true selves and to our relationships with others. We have multiple ways of healing trauma, including complex traumas, including Flash Therapy, EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), clinical hypnosis, somatic work, art therapy and more. Coming back to your true self, perhaps for the first time, is not a journey to be missed.

Trauma and PTSD
Lisa Cleary
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Trauma can show up in ways that are hard to explain—feeling constantly on edge, emotionally overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself and others. Even when you “know” you’re safe, your body may still react as if the past is happening now. I specialize in trauma-informed therapies such as EMDR and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), which help process and resolve past experiences so they no longer feel as intense or intrusive.
In our work together, we move at a pace that feels safe and manageable, helping you build resilience, regain a sense of control, and feel more grounded in your present life.
