Dr. Thomas Ballas
Psychologist, PhD; PSYPACT
I am a clinical psychologist with specialized expertise in treating trauma and PTSD. My professional background includes working in hospital settings, private practice, and serving as a medical officer in the U.S. Army, where I gained significant experience addressing the profound impact of trauma and related mental health challenges. Through advanced training at leading military treatment facilities working with complex trauma, I have refined my skills in evidence-based approaches such as Prolonged Exposure Therapy (PE), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).
These experiences have given me a deep understanding of the complexities of trauma and PTSD and a strong commitment to delivering compassionate, effective care. My goal is to help you process and heal from trauma, regain a sense of safety, and build a fulfilling and resilient life. Together, we will develop a personalized therapeutic plan tailored to your unique needs, ensuring you feel supported and empowered throughout your healing journey.

Sumer Statler Aeed
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
Trauma is the experience not just of what happened to us, but by how our bodies, neurology, and hearts respond to what happened to us. Traumas of 'small t' and traumas of 'big T' both create adaptions to our true selves that can lead in our being 'stuck' in ways that don't serve us, that may create more trauma, or disconnection from our true selves and to our relationships with others. We have multiple ways of healing trauma, including complex traumas, including Flash Therapy, EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), clinical hypnosis, somatic work, art therapy and more. Coming back to your true self, perhaps for the first time, is not a journey to be missed.

Zachariah Crooks @ Inner Harmony
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, CGT, ACHT
Past experiences may still affect how safe you feel, how you relate to others, or how quickly your body reacts to stress. I work with adults who want to understand these connections and develop a greater sense of choice in the present. We begin with your goals, current needs, and ways to feel grounded, then discuss whether and how to explore difficult experiences. My approach draws on Gestalt therapy, mindfulness, and experiential methods, with attention to your pace and consent. You do not have to share every detail before we can begin working together.
