Trauma and PTSD
Aaliyah Gilbert
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LSW
Experiences of trauma can have lasting effects on how you feel in your body, relationships, and daily life, often showing up as anxiety, hypervigilance, emotional numbness, or difficulty feeling safe. I support clients in gently processing traumatic experiences at a pace that feels safe and manageable, without pressure to relive or disclose more than you are ready for. In our work together, we focus on building emotional safety, strengthening coping skills, and understanding how past experiences may be impacting your present. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, connected, and empowered as you move toward healing and reclaiming a sense of stability and control in your life.

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.

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.

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.
I no longer offer weekly insurance-based 53 minute sessions. After a decade of seeing clients under this model, I've shifted my practice to private pay customized services that better meet the needs of my niche clients. My customized Therapy Intensives are specially designed to offer you a more a more spacious, efficient, and streamlined for a deeper and more transformative experience. They are intended to be short-term and can serve as an adjunct to ongoing therapy with your already established therapist, such as in the case that you really enjoy the work you are doing with them but they do not specialize in an area that I do. I also offer monthly extended sessions (90 minutes to 2 hours) for those looking for a hybrid option, that allows for deeper work as well as ongoing support. Please visit my website for more details on how we can work together.
