Trauma and PTSD
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.

I have extensive experience supporting individuals in navigating the impacts of relational trauma.

Trauma and PTSD
Rachel Miller
Marriage and Family Therapist, PhD, LMFT
Trauma doesn’t happen in isolation—it’s shaped by relationships, community, and larger social systems. I work with individuals to understand the personal and systemic impacts of trauma and PTSD, including historical, cultural, and structural oppression. Together, we focus on reclaiming safety, resilience, and agency while navigating the complex ways trauma shows up in the body, mind, and relationships.

Trauma and PTSD
Gina Majestro
Psychologist, PsyD, HSP, HSPP
Sometimes it feels like you’re doing everything “right” — but inside, you still feel stuck, anxious, or disconnected from the person you want to be. Maybe you’ve been carrying old wounds for a long time, trying to hold it all together, and you’re just ready for something to finally shift.
I work with adults who are ready to move beyond survival and start truly living. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in deep respect for your story. Together, we’ll explore the patterns and protective parts that once kept you safe — and help you build new ways of feeling grounded, connected, and at home in yourself.
You don’t have to keep doing this alone. Healing is possible, even if you’ve tried before and nothing seemed to work.
I offer in person therapy in Louisville, KY and virtual therapy for adults in Kentucky, Indiana, and across 42 PSYPACT states.
If you’re ready to take that next step — I’d be honored to walk with you.
