PTSD/Trauma
Shannon Gorres
Life Coach, MDiv, MA
My understanding of trauma has shifted along with international research on why some events create lasting challenging effects for some people but not for others. Our collective awareness has gone from thinking, “What's wrong with you?” to asking, “What happened to you?” and now focusing on, “Who was there for you?”
A simple retelling of a traumatic experience does not always deeply heal the one who suffers. While it can feel good to be truly heard, especially for those who have never told it before and need real empathy, repeatedly telling the story does not often change the subconscious beliefs implanted during the trauma or the nervous system’s reactivity.
Instead, we build a new relationship with a traumatic experience by re-approaching the memory and inviting a shift. Often the shift is around “Who could have been there for you.” While in factual reality, no one may have stopped the trauma, we can access another perspective that enables our bodies, hearts, and minds to feel supported. We can do this many ways: through role play, through calling in ancestors or pop stars or our highest selves, or by letting our wise adult-self take over the situation. Or we may use drawing materials or nature to discover a new part of the experience we didn’t realize before.
I've taken many trainings in the origins and effects of trauma and PTSD, and I find working with the nervous system and imaginal realm (creative liminal space) highly effective. I'm not a licensed mental health therapist; I'm a spiritual life coach, so my work is integrative. I offer: calm spaciousness & empathy as you talk, embodied processing options (drawing, clay work, self soothing), and inner parts work (mediated inner dialogue or a “committee of voices,” similar to Soulwork or Internal Family Systems).
Then we make a plan to implement the new shift into everyday life.

PTSD/Trauma
Dr Jody Eiser
Therapist, Doctorate in Psychology
Trauma is not only about what has happened, but how the mind and body have adapted in order to survive. Through a trauma-informed lens and a focus on trauma endurance, I work with the patterns that develop in response to these experiences, patterns that often continue to shape how you relate, cope, and experience yourself. Together, we support gradual, meaningful, and lasting change.

PTSD/Trauma
Aaron Kapin
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
From the perspective of Somatic Experiencing, trauma isn't the thing that happened 15 years ago (or last week), it's the ongoing effects that that incident continues to have on your body.
We can work together to figure out how your body is still reacting to that incident, and work to help your body 'catch up' to the present moment. If you're safer now than you were then, there are ways we can help your body 'complete' the threat response from so long ago, and land in the comparative safety of the present moment.
I can't treat PTSD, so if you've been diagnosed with PTSD you should still work with a licensed mental health professional, even as you work with me. What I can do is support your body in turning down the volume on that threatened feeling that has been coming up since the trauma-inducing events.

Carter Doyle
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, PMHNP-BC, EMT-P
Trauma shows up in the body, in relationships, and in the stories we tell about ourselves. I specialize in trauma and PTSD, including complex trauma, spiritual/religious harm, and SOGICE-related experiences. Using Internal Family Systems (IFS), EMDR-informed and other trauma-responsive approaches, we move at your nervous system’s pace to reduce triggers, shame, and dysregulation so you can live from your core Self again. This space is LGBTQ+ affirming.

Shanea McDaniel
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, APRN, PMHNP-BC
I provide compassionate, trauma-informed care for individuals who have experienced emotional, physical, or psychological trauma, including those living with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). My collaborative, evidence-based approach prioritizes safety, trust, and pacing care in a way that feels manageable for each individual. Treatment focuses on reducing symptoms such as hypervigilance, intrusive memories, anxiety, mood instability, and emotional distress while supporting clients in rebuilding a sense of safety and control. When appropriate, I integrate medication management with supportive therapy and coping strategies to promote healing, resilience, and long-term emotional recovery.
