Emily Rowe
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I specialize in working with individuals who have experienced various forms of trauma, including childhood abuse, sexual trauma, religious trauma, and complex PTSD. Trauma can leave you feeling stuck, anxious, or overwhelmed, but healing is possible. Using evidence-based therapies like CBT, DBT, and ACT, I help clients process painful memories, reduce distress, and build resilience. Together, we’ll work on managing the impact of trauma and reclaiming a sense of safety and control in your life.

Dr. Joe Rustum
Psychologist, PsyD, License Psychologist
I help clients work through trauma, chronic stress, and painful experiences that continue to affect their emotions, relationships, and sense of safety. For high-functioning clients, trauma may show up as overcontrol, perfectionism, avoidance, irritability, anxiety, or difficulty relaxing. In therapy, we work at a pace that feels manageable, building coping skills, increasing self-understanding, and reducing the impact of past experiences on daily life. My goal is to help clients feel more grounded, resilient, and connected to themselves.

Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
For more than 33 years, I’ve worked with adults whose lives have been shaped by experiences that were overwhelming, prolonged, or carried alone for a long time. Many are thoughtful, highly responsible people who have learned to keep going, even when something inside feels stuck, numb, or on edge.
This often includes early family dynamics that were never named as “trauma,” but still live in your body and relationships. When these kinds of experiences are ongoing or rooted in early life, they are often described as complex trauma, C‑PTSD, or developmental trauma.
Difficult or frightening experiences can also arise from single incidents or periods of crisis, such as medical trauma, accidents, or other shocks. These experiences may or may not meet criteria for PTSD, but they can still leave a lasting imprint.
These experiences can influence how you understand yourself, how you move through relationships, and how your nervous system responds to daily life. You may notice changes in mood, concentration, or energy. Some people feel constantly on alert, others shut down, and many move between the two. For some, there is a clear “before and after” in their life; for others, there is a quieter sense of having experienced more than most people realize.
In our work together, we focus on building safety and softening the impact of trauma, including PTSD and C‑PTSD, on your daily life. We pay close attention to how it impacts your body, nervous system, and relationships and to the patterns and roles that once helped you cope but may now feel limiting or costly. We move at a pace that respects your capacity and what feels possible right now, with an emphasis on choice and partnership throughout the process.
