PTSD/Trauma
Dr. Colby Cohen-Archer
Psychologist, PhD
Trauma lives in our bodies, wreaking havoc on your nervous system, emotional reactivity, and relationships. Whether your trauma comes from early childhood experiences or a traumatic childbirth experience, we can work together to help you heal. I will help you tell your story in a setting of safety. If you prefer not to rehash what happened, we can help your body and mind process the lingering emotions, body sensations, and intrusive images using an eye movement therapy called Accelerated Resolution Therapy. This helps reduce symptoms in just a few sessions, often only one session. Clients says they are surprised at the quick relief from ART. Using traditional talk therapy or ART, we can continue to process what happened and help you learn to relate to the world in a different way, or help you prepare for future situations that are similar. Many women who have experienced traumatic births find ART helpful in enabling them to decide whether to have more children from a clear mind and not from a place of fear.

My original reason for becoming a therapist was to help others through traumatic experiences and PTSD. I have extensive training in addressing both.

PTSD/Trauma
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

PTSD/Trauma
Open Pathways Counseling Center
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
Trauma can continue to affect emotions, relationships, and daily life long after the event has passed. Using a trauma-informed approach and EMDR alongside other evidence-based therapies, I help clients safely process traumatic experiences, reduce distressing symptoms, and build the skills needed to move forward with greater confidence and resilience.

Psychologist, PsyD, HSP, HSPP
Does this sound familiar?
You feel isolated and alone - even when you aren’t.
Intense emotions suddenly flood your everyday life.
You are stuck in relationship patterns that just aren’t working anymore.
You try so hard to manage your emotions - only to feel worse moments later.
You are tired of being told to, “breathe,” “go to yoga” or “use the skills.”
You are critical towards yourself - and maybe those around you.
As Difficult As It May Be To Believe At Times,
Your survival system is doing what it is designed to do - protect you from harm.
It may be keeping you on high alert, constantly scanning for threats, or shutting down and disconnecting to shield you from the pain?
You Don’t Need More Coping Advice, You Need Relief.
Many of our clients come to us with long treatment histories - they’ve tried coping skills, thought challenging, self-help resources and behavior change - but the pain persists. With each failed treatment, they feel more shame, self-blame and hopelessness. But, we want you to know, it’s not your fault - those treatments were never designed to address the core of your suffering.
