PTSD/Trauma
Jay Shaw
Hypnotherapist, CHt (Certified Hypnotherapist)
Unresolved trauma doesn't stay in the past it runs in the background of every decision, relationship, and stress response you have today. Identity 2.0 hypnotherapy works to neutralize the subconscious charge attached to past events, reducing triggers and rebuilding a nervous system baseline that isn't controlled by what happened before. This isn't about reliving the pain. It's about removing its authority over your present identity.

Valerie Rosen
Psychologist, Ph.D.
As a relational psychodynamic therapist, trauma is one of the central themes of my practice. Like many of my patients, you may have experienced abuse or neglect in childhood. These experiences may have been severe, or they may be something that you never recognized as trauma, like having a primary caregiver who was profoundly depressed, or went away, or taught you that your feelings were invalid or that you were fundamentally a burden. Relational trauma shapes your self-concept and your expectations of other people - your attachment style and your worldview. You may feel completely disconnected from your body, or constantly on edge and troubled by flashbacks. Becoming grounded in your body is crucial in the treatment of trauma, along with integrating experiences and parts of yourself that have been shut away in darkness. Fundamentally, trauma breaks you up into pieces, and therapy helps put you back together.

PTSD/Trauma
Dr. Kelsi Clayson
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Trauma has a way of showing up and persisting despite our efforts to keep it at bay. For some, it’s like a thorn that has settled into place and doesn’t hurt too badly as long as you focus your attention elsewhere. For others, it’s an unavoidable, constant source of pain, anger, and fear. Whether it happened recently or decades ago, trauma can take up valuable space in our lives. This may come in the form of unwanted memories, difficulty trusting others, feeling on edge, irritability, avoiding certain situations, or maybe all of the above. Unfortunately, efforts to avoid thinking about past traumatic events often keep people from seeking treatment and finding relief. Although challenging, addressing and resolving emotional wounds can be incredibly liberating and rewarding. Trauma treatment can positively shift the lens through which you see yourself, your relationships, and ultimately the world around you.

Dr. Andrew Bingman
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist, PsyD
One of my primary specialties is helping clients work through early childhood trauma, and many of the clients who I work with have had experiences early in their lives that affect their relationships and day-to-day experiences in the present. I work with clients to gain insight regarding the role of past trauma in their present-day lives and help develop strategies to manage this.

Joe Groninga
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) often creates very painful symptoms and is something for which I use a therapy called Prolonged Exposure (PE). In this therapy, we will revisit traumatic situations, process painful emotions, and change unhelpful beliefs about yourself and the world around you as a result of your trauma. People are often amazed at how quickly this treatment can work and by the very meaningful change that can result. For these reasons, this is one of my favorite treatments to provide.

Wichita's economy is anchored by aerospace manufacturing and agriculture, and therapists here frequently address the psychological pressures of industrial work, shift schedules, and the boom-bust cycles of manufacturing employment. The city has a large Hispanic population and growing Somali and Burmese communities from refugee resettlement, creating demand for multilingual and culturally informed therapists who work with immigration stress and cross-cultural family dynamics. Ascension Via Christi and Wesley Medical Center provide major institutional mental health resources, while the city's mid-size scale means many therapists maintain more accessible practices than in larger metros. Wichita's conservative faith community means spiritually integrated therapy is a common offering across many local practices.
