Trauma and PTSD
Gemstone Wellness, Inc.
Psychologist, PsyD, LCPC, LCSW, LPC
At Gemstone Wellness, trauma is understood not as something that simply “happened in the past,” but as something that continues to live in the body, the nervous system, and the way you move through the world. We approach trauma with the recognition that your responses—whether anxiety, numbness, hypervigilance, or shutdown—are not dysfunctions, but adaptive strategies your system developed to survive.
Our work is deeply trauma-informed and grounded in nervous system regulation. Rather than pushing you to revisit painful experiences before you’re ready, we prioritize safety, trust, and pacing. Therapy begins with building a relationship where you feel genuinely seen and supported, allowing your system to settle enough for deeper work to unfold. From there, we gently help you process what you’ve been carrying so it no longer holds the same intensity or control over your present life.
We integrate approaches such as Trauma Focused CBT and relational, insight-oriented therapy to support healing without re-traumatization. The goal is not to erase your past, but to help you relate to it differently—so memories can be held without overwhelming your body, and triggers no longer dictate your reactions.
Throughout this process, therapy remains collaborative and attuned. You are never rushed, pushed, or expected to move faster than your system allows. Over time, many clients begin to feel a shift: less reactivity, more presence, a greater sense of safety in their body, and a reconnection to themselves and others.
Trauma therapy at Gemstone Wellness is not about forcing change—it is about creating the conditions where healing can happen naturally, at a pace that honors what you’ve been through.

Ariana Marciniak
Pre-Licensed Professional, MA
If you're navigating the weight of complex trauma—especially trauma shaped by family dynamics, painful relationships, or systems that were never built to hold you—I see you. Healing from complex PTSD isn’t just about managing symptoms; it’s about reclaiming your story, your relationships, and your right to move through the world with ease.

Trauma and PTSD
Carly Baric
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Some experiences leave a mark that doesn’t fade, even when life goes on. If past events continue to affect your thoughts, emotions, or daily functioning, you don’t have to face it alone. I work with individuals processing trauma and symptoms of PTSD, helping to create a safe space to explore difficult memories, understand triggers, and develop coping strategies. Together, we focus on building resilience, reclaiming a sense of safety, and finding ways to move forward with strength and hope.
