Trauma and PTSD
Ashley Paulson
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, LIMHP, 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.

Trauma and PTSD
Phillip Thomas Stepka, PsyD.
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist
I specialize in working with people who have experienced the worst that life can throw at them. This may include single devastating events such as natural disasters, catastrophic accidents, and loss. This may also include chronic experiences such as childhood neglect/abuse, prolonged exposure to big and little "T" traumas such as those experienced by service members, first responders, survivors of war, human trafficking, domestic violence, and other long-standing environmental stressors.

Trauma and PTSD
Timothy Weymann
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Social Worker (L.C.S.W.)
Trauma can leave lasting imprints on the mind and body. You may experience intrusive memories, nightmares, hypervigilance, emotional numbness, or a constant sense of being on edge. If you’re living with trauma or PTSD, it can feel as though the past is still present. As a therapist who works with trauma and PTSD, I provide a safe, steady space where healing can unfold at your pace. Together, we’ll focus first on building safety and stabilization—helping you develop tools to manage overwhelming emotions and reconnect with your body. From there, we can gently process traumatic experiences using evidence-based approaches, always with choice and collaboration at the center. You remain in control of the work we do. My approach is trauma-informed, compassionate, and grounded in nervous system awareness. Healing from trauma doesn’t mean forgetting what happened; it means reducing its hold on your daily life so you can move forward with greater freedom, resilience, and self-trust. You don’t have to carry this alone.
