Trauma and PTSD
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.

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.

Along the Path Counseling Services, P.C.

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.

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.

Reflections Counseling
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW's and CADC's
Yvonne Suarez-Morgan, LCSW utilizes EMDR for trauma work. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a powerful, evidence-based approach that helps the brain process and heal from traumatic experiences. In EMDR therapy, we work to reduce the emotional charge of past events so they no longer feel overwhelming or defining. This structured, client-centered method supports deep healing, allowing you to move forward with greater peace, clarity, and resilience.

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.
