PTSD/Trauma
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.

PTSD/Trauma
Sue De Santo
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I work with individuals carrying the weight of past trauma, painful relationships, and experiences that still live in the body as anxiety, numbness, or feeling constantly on guard. I bring compassion and relief to the places that feel stuck or overwhelmed. . My goal is to offer a steady, caring space where you don’t have to do it alone and where healing becomes possible not just in your mind, but in your body and relationships too.

PTSD/Trauma
The Caruso Wellness Center PLLC
Marriage and Family Therapist, DMin, MART, MA, ALMFT
Trauma and PTSD can leave individuals feeling unsafe in their own bodies, disconnected from others, and stuck in patterns of fear, hypervigilance, or emotional numbness. I provide trauma-informed counseling grounded in Adlerian Psychology and informed by polyvagal theory, integrating an understanding of meaning, belonging, and nervous system regulation. From an Adlerian perspective, we explore how early experiences shape beliefs about safety, worth, and connection, while also building courage and encouragement toward healing and growth. Using a polyvagal-informed lens, we focus on helping your nervous system move from survival states into greater regulation, safety, and connection.
I have a particular focus and training on religious trauma, recognizing the deep pain that can result from harmful spiritual environments, coercive belief systems, or experiences of rejection within faith communities. In this work, I provide a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where your story can be honored, your experiences validated, and your sense of self carefully restored. Together, we work toward reclaiming safety, rebuilding trust, and integrating mind, body, and meaning in a way that supports long-term healing and resilience.

PTSD/Trauma
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.
