Trauma and PTSD
Natalie Criss
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LPCC-S
We all have trauma. Some big, some small. If you have trauma that is causing you to panic over small things or just feels like this cloud following you around, we can do something about that. You don't have to live with that. EMDR is amazing and it can really help.

Trauma and PTSD
Mr. Dan Pugel
Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and other types of trauma occur circumstantially and can often be debilitating and often seem insurmountable. A person suffering with PTSD has experienced or has been a witness to a traumatic event where a threat of death or serious injury occurs to self or others. During the experience or observing of such trauma the individual senses "intense fear, helplessness or horror".
PTSD symptoms may include voluntary and involuntary recurrent thoughts and dreams about the event, intense associations with the event - both externally and internally, intentional avoidance of associations with event, isolation, loss of interest in activities, anger, loss of concentration sleep disruptions among others. (DSM-V)
Other trauma occurs that may not be as pervasive as PTSD yet still interfers with the healthy social, occupational and general functioning of daily life. Both are experiences that can be processed through with outcomes of growth and healing

Trauma and PTSD
James Parker
Psychologist, PhD
A myriad of definitions exist for "trauma." Bad things happen in life - that's part of being alive. But I view the definition as: trauma is when bad things happen, and you feel you have no way out. Trauma can result from one event or a chronic situation. I primarily utilize Coherence Therapy, which is an approach to treatment that is different from many others in that - instead of focusing on what is "negative" or "wrong" as a result of a traumatic experience - the purpose is to genuinely understand a person's symptoms; to curiously explore why maintaining certain patterns of thinking and behavior is emotionally necessary, even when a person is feeling stuck because of those patterns. Understanding the symptom leads to identifying the underlying emotional reasons of why we do things and addresses the cause of feeling stuck, not just the symptom, which then leads to meaningful and lasting changes. If you can uproot the cause, there is no need for life-long maintenance of coping with it.

Trauma and PTSD
Tracy Merino
Psychologist, PsyD, HSP
Experiencing trauma can deeply disrupt your sense of safety and trust. You may feel on edge, have difficulty sleeping, or find yourself reliving painful memories. Healing doesn’t mean forgetting—it means rebuilding a sense of safety and self. I offer a compassionate and supportive space to process trauma, strengthen coping tools, and move toward resilience and empowerment.
