PTSD/Trauma
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.

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.

Dr. Adam Shafer (Chicago, IL)
Psychologist, Psy. D., M.A.
When the foundation of trust shaken (if not feeling broken) through experiences of trauma, the approach to restoring one's life must always be one of sensitivity, patience, and compassion. Without this, there will always be a risk that it will never feel safe enough to heal.

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.

Summer Stewart, PsyD
Pre-Licensed Professional, PsyD
Trauma can leave you feeling on edge, disconnected, or like you’re constantly reliving the past. Maybe certain memories, people, or places still trigger you in ways that feel out of your control. If you’re feeling stuck in survival mode, therapy offers a safe space to begin healing. We’ll move at your pace—unpacking the pain, calming your nervous system, and helping you feel safe in your body again. You are not what happened to you—and you don’t have to face it alone.
