PTSD/Trauma
Gina Majestro
Psychologist, PsyD, HSP, HSPP
Sometimes it feels like you’re doing everything “right” — but inside, you still feel stuck, anxious, or disconnected from the person you want to be. Maybe you’ve been carrying old wounds for a long time, trying to hold it all together, and you’re just ready for something to finally shift.
I work with adults who are ready to move beyond survival and start truly living. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in deep respect for your story. Together, we’ll explore the patterns and protective parts that once kept you safe — and help you build new ways of feeling grounded, connected, and at home in yourself.
You don’t have to keep doing this alone. Healing is possible, even if you’ve tried before and nothing seemed to work.
I offer in person therapy in Louisville, KY and virtual therapy for adults in Kentucky, Indiana, and across 42 PSYPACT states.
If you’re ready to take that next step — I’d be honored to walk with you.

MentalWellness Therapy LLC
Marriage and Family Therapist, Marriage and Family Therapist Associate
When trauma happens, your body remembers—even when your mind tries to move on. You may feel stuck, reactive, or constantly on edge. Using somatic and evidence-based approaches, we help your nervous system process what it couldn’t before, so you can experience relief, safety, and a sense of control again.

Grace in the Shadows
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, MDiv, MA, NCMHC, ALMHC, VALMHC, SCMHC, FLMHC, KYMHC, IDMHC
I address trauma and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) with a compassionate and faith-centered approach, integrating psychological expertise with Christian principles to guide individuals toward healing and restoration. Recognizing the profound impact of trauma on the mind, emotions, and spirit, I create a safe and supportive environment that incorporates prayer, scriptural reflection, and discussions on God's healing power. Drawing upon biblical teachings of comfort, resilience, and restoration, the counselor collaborates with individuals to navigate the effects of trauma and develop coping strategies. Encouraging a reliance on God's strength and the transformative power of faith, the counselor assists individuals in processing and overcoming traumatic experiences while fostering a sense of safety and trust in their Christian beliefs. This integrated approach aims to support individuals in their journey toward emotional healing, resilience, and spiritual renewal within the context of Christian values.

Jonathan Schmalz
Psychologist, PhD, HSP-P
A trauma-informed approach underlies all of my work as a therapist. I know that many clients come to therapy not specifically because of trauma, but because they feel lonely or inadequate, they are depressed or anxious, or just cannot seem to have the intimacy they crave. Sometimes acknowledging trauma comes later in the therapy work and that is okay. Just know that I trust that you will talk about it when you are ready.
I would like to join you in acknowledging how the past has affected your present and in charting a course to healing that works for you. You may wish to talk about particular pains from the past and you may wish to focus on the future. We will work together to find the balance that is right for you, so that you can live the life that you really want to live.

Louisville's therapy community is shaped by the city's dual identity as a major healthcare hub — anchored by the University of Louisville Health system, Norton Healthcare, and Baptist Health — and a culturally rich city with deep roots in bourbon, thoroughbred racing, and Southern Midwestern community values. The Muhammad Ali Center and the city's civil rights heritage sustain meaningful conversations about racial identity, community resilience, and systemic inequity in clinical work. The University of Louisville's department of psychological and brain sciences provides important training resources for the local therapy community. Louisville's positioning at the intersection of Appalachian influence, Southern tradition, and Midwestern pragmatism shapes a therapy culture where direct, accessible, and often spiritually informed approaches find the broadest acceptance.
