PTSD/Trauma
Ashley Paulson
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, CHt
I first focus on coping and regulation strategies before processing trauma. Hypnosis, EMDR, NLP, parts work, and guided meditations can be utilized to help process and regulate the body. I aim to help clients reduce symptoms such as anxiety and hyperviligance as well as increase trust and security in self. This process can be taken very slowly or quickly depending on client preference and needs.

Debra Younger
Counselor/Therapist, LPCC, LPC, LMHC, CCPT
All of us at one time or another will experience some type of trauma or adverse life event. Most of the time we work through and resolve these without needing any help, but not always. If you are struggling with unresolved trauma and/or PTSD I can help. As a trauma informed therapist, utilizing an integrated approach of EMDR and Internal Family Systems, I can help you resolve the triggers associated with the trauma and find some resolution.
