Trauma occurs when someone experiences one or more events that threaten their physical, mental and/or emotional well-being. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is an anxiety disorder that is a direct consequence of experiencing trauma and can include flashbacks, nightmares, intrusive thoughts, avoidance of reminders of the trauma and mood disturbances. PTSD can be treated in a variety of ways including medication, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, Exposure Therapy, Emotional Freedom Technique (tapping), and mindfulness practices.

Merrisa Dawn Santos
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC, CCTMHP, CCTP
In assisting patients struggling with trauma and PTSD, I offer a compassionate and supportive environment to explore their experiences. Through therapy, we address the impact of trauma on their emotions, behaviors, and relationships. I provide education about trauma responses and coping mechanisms, helping them develop strategies to manage symptoms such as flashbacks, nightmares, and hypervigilance. Together, we work towards processing and integrating their traumatic experiences, fostering healing, resilience, and a sense of empowerment. Ongoing support and therapy aim to facilitate their journey towards recovery and improved well-being.

Tim Jenkins
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC
Painful memory and trauma can be very difficult things to overcome. They can rewire our brain's reward system and highjack our sleep, appetite and balance. At times to correct this, we have to re-experience traumatic events, but live them differently this time around. You need support, kindness and understanding to go though this. Just do not go though it alone.

Kelsey Ellis
Psychologist, Ph.D., LCP
Trauma can continue to shape how you feel, respond, and relate long after the original experience has passed. It may show up as hypervigilance, emotional numbing, reactivity, or a persistent sense of being on edge. Many women find themselves trying to function while their nervous system remains stuck in protective patterns. In our work together, we focus on understanding these responses, gently increasing your sense of safety and regulation, and building new ways of relating to yourself and others that are not defined by past experiences.
