PTSD/Trauma
Emily Hurlin
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LISW, LCSW
Trauma isn't only about what happened. It's about how your body keeps bracing for it to happen again. I use Somatic Experiencing (Intermediate level, Somatic Experiencing International) and EMDR (EMDRIA-trained since 2019) to help your nervous system settle and let painful memories lose their grip, without forcing you to relive every detail. Many of my clients notice their trauma showing up most in close relationships, and that's where much of our healing work happens.

Dr. Tracy Mallett
Psychologist, Psy.D., L.M.F.T., Licensed Psychologist
Experiencing trauma can have lasting effects on your emotions, thoughts, and relationships. I specialize in helping adults, adolescents, and families who have experienced traumatic events, including childhood adversity, accidents, medical trauma, abuse, or other significant life stressors.
Therapy provides a safe, structured environment to process distressing experiences, understand how trauma affects daily functioning, and develop coping strategies to regain control and stability. I integrate evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused CBT, and EMDR-informed strategies, tailored to each client’s needs and pace.
In our work together, you will learn tools for managing anxiety, hypervigilance, intrusive thoughts, and emotional dysregulation. Therapy also focuses on rebuilding trust, enhancing self-compassion, and improving relationships that may have been impacted by trauma.
My goal is to help clients move from surviving to thriving—reducing the hold of traumatic experiences while fostering resilience, empowerment, and a sense of safety in daily life. Recovery is a process, and I guide each client with compassion, structure, and clinically grounded support throughout the journey.

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.
