PTSD/Trauma
Amanda S. Vaught
Psychologist, PsyD
Trauma can haunt you for years and dictate how you should live your life. I focus on the impact of trauma which can result in PTSD, C-PTSD anxiety, depression, relationship problems, insecurity, and overthinking. I approach therapy from a trauma- informed lens with a light-hearted, genuine, and non-judgmental attitude. I provide a safe space for you to share that thing/event/story that is hard to talk about.

PTSD/Trauma
Join the Rebellion (JTR23 Inc)
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Trauma in high-performing men often goes unrecognized precisely because these men have learned to function through it — performing competence while something painful operates beneath the surface. I work with men processing a range of traumatic experiences, from acute events to complex relational and developmental trauma, using a psychodynamic and existential approach grounded in Character Driven Therapy. Rather than focusing exclusively on symptom reduction, this work explores how trauma has shaped a client's identity, self-concept, and relational patterns — addressing the roots rather than managing the branches.
