Trauma and PTSD
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.

Resolve Counseling PLLC
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW
EYE MOVEMENT DESENSITIZATION REPROCESSING (EMDR) Therapy: EMDR is a psychotherapy approach used to alleviate PTSD and/or distress associated with traumatic memories. It involves stimulating bilateral brain activity through eye movements, sounds, or taps while the client focuses on distressing memories. This process facilitates the brain's natural healing mechanisms, helping clients process traumatic experiences and reduce their emotional intensity.

Trauma and PTSD
Ashley Pinto
Therapist, LCPC, CCTP
Trauma isn’t necessarily something that happens to you—it’s what happens inside you as a result of an overwhelming experience. It can leave the body stuck in survival mode, the mind cut off from its natural rhythms, and a person disconnected from their true self. It can show up as tension, emotional overwhelm, feeling numb, or reacting to everyday situations as if the danger is still present. While trauma affects both the body and the brain, the good news is that healing is possible. Approaches that help people reconnect with their bodies, understand their emotional and relational patterns, and restore a sense of safety can gradually release old survival responses and rebuild a felt sense of wholeness and resilience.
Trauma can impact us following a single incident (e.g., a car accident, attack, or medical procedure) or ongoing patterns of abuse, neglect, never feeling seen and heard by caregivers. Without adequate resources or treatment, the effects can linger long past the experience. Through integrative somatic trauma therapy, I help women develop a deeper understanding of their internal responses and expand their capacity to engage with life more fully. Together, we will work toward greater clarity, connection, and the ability to move forward in ways that feel more grounded, intentional, and aligned with who you truly are.
My weekly insurance-based therapy caseload is currently full, however, I do have openings for my customized Therapy Intensives that are specially designed to offer you a more efficient and streamlined experience. Please visit my website for more details on how we can work together.

Trauma and PTSD
Tina Mavalankar
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I work with clients who have experienced trauma or struggle with PTSD, providing a safe and structured space to process painful memories, intense emotions, and the ongoing impact of past events. Using evidence-based approaches such as Trauma-Focused CBT, somatic awareness, and grounding techniques, I help clients regain a sense of safety, reduce hypervigilance or intrusive thoughts, and rebuild trust in themselves and others. My approach is paced to each client’s readiness, emphasizing empowerment, resilience, and reclaiming control over their life rather than being defined by trauma. The goal is to support healing while helping clients reconnect with their strengths, feel more present, and move toward a life that feels secure, meaningful, and self-directed.

Trauma and PTSD
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.

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.
