Merrisa Dawn Santos
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC, CCTMHP, CCTP
In assisting patients struggling with trauma and PTSD, I offer a compassionate and supportive environment to explore their experiences. Through therapy, we address the impact of trauma on their emotions, behaviors, and relationships. I provide education about trauma responses and coping mechanisms, helping them develop strategies to manage symptoms such as flashbacks, nightmares, and hypervigilance. Together, we work towards processing and integrating their traumatic experiences, fostering healing, resilience, and a sense of empowerment. Ongoing support and therapy aim to facilitate their journey towards recovery and improved well-being.

Tim Jenkins
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC
Painful memory and trauma can be very difficult things to overcome. They can rewire our brain's reward system and highjack our sleep, appetite and balance. At times to correct this, we have to re-experience traumatic events, but live them differently this time around. You need support, kindness and understanding to go though this. Just do not go though it alone.

Natalie A Shafer
Counselor/Therapist, MA, NCC, LPC
Trauma often sits at the core of many emotional and relational challenges, shaping how we experience ourselves, others, and the world. It’s natural for the body and mind to respond to reminders of past experiences as if they are still happening. I work with you to gently process and rework these experiences, so they feel more integrated and rooted in the past rather than the present.
