Clark Thompson, PsyD, MA
Psychologist, PsyD, MA
I offer comprehensive virtual neuropsychological assessments for individuals experiencing trauma-related symptoms, helping clients across PSYPACT states understand how traumatic experiences have impacted their cognitive and emotional functioning. My trauma and PTSD evaluations examine not only classic symptoms like intrusive memories and hypervigilance but also assess how trauma affects concentration, memory, executive functioning, and emotional regulation—providing crucial insights often missed in standard clinical interviews. With specialized training in neuropsychology and years of experience across various clinical settings, I create thorough assessment reports that validate your experiences, differentiate PTSD from other conditions, and provide clear pathways toward healing through targeted treatment recommendations and practical coping strategies.

I provide trauma-informed care that prioritizes safety, pacing, and choice. I understand that everyone processes trauma differently and that my trauma-informed care will meet the client where they are in their own journey, dealing with the long-lasting effects of trauma or recent experiences. My work focuses on helping the client gain tools and skills to regulate their nervous system, have better management of distress stemming from triggers, and to help you process your trauma in a collaborative, supportive way.

Aaliyah Gilbert
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LSW
Experiences of trauma can have lasting effects on how you feel in your body, relationships, and daily life, often showing up as anxiety, hypervigilance, emotional numbness, or difficulty feeling safe. I support clients in gently processing traumatic experiences at a pace that feels safe and manageable, without pressure to relive or disclose more than you are ready for. In our work together, we focus on building emotional safety, strengthening coping skills, and understanding how past experiences may be impacting your present. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, connected, and empowered as you move toward healing and reclaiming a sense of stability and control in your life.

New Leaf Counseling and Wellness
Psychologist
Treating trauma and PTSD requires a comprehensive and compassionate approach that prioritizes safety, trust, and empowerment. Drawing from evidence-based therapies such as cognitive processing therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), and somatic experiencing, I work with clients to process and integrate traumatic memories in a supportive therapeutic environment. Through psychoeducation, skill-building, and experiential techniques, I help clients regain a sense of control over their lives while addressing symptoms such as hypervigilance, flashbacks, and avoidance. My specialized expertise enables me to tailor treatment to each individual's unique needs, fostering healing, resilience, and a renewed sense of hope for the future.

Margo Tirado MA LCPC
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LCPC
Trauma and PTSD can leave lasting effects that show up in thoughts, emotions, and the body—often long after the original experience has passed. Many people feel stuck in patterns of fear, self-blame, or hypervigilance, even when they understand logically that they’re no longer in danger. In therapy, I offer a steady, compassionate space to make sense of these responses, helping you understand how trauma shaped both your beliefs about yourself and your sense of safety in the world.
My approach to trauma healing weaves together insight, somatic body-based practices, and Emotion-Focused Tapping (EFT). We work gently with the body to release stored stress while also addressing the beliefs that trauma leaves behind—such as feeling powerless, unsafe, or unworthy. True healing happens when both the mind and body are included in the process. Over time, clients often experience greater calm, self-trust, and a renewed sense of control, allowing life to feel more grounded, connected, and whole again.
