PTSD/Trauma
Grief Recovery Center
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LPC, LCSW, LMFT, LP, LPA-IPA
Trauma is any experience that overwhelms your sense of safety or well-being. It can result from abuse, assault, accidents, natural disasters, violence, infidelity, or other distressing events. Trauma may leave you feeling disconnected, anxious, numb, or on edge — even long after the event has passed.
Some people cope by withdrawing from loved ones or turning to unhealthy behaviors in an attempt to manage the pain. Others may not initially recognize their experience as traumatic, only to notice symptoms emerging months or years later.
At Grief Recovery Center in Houston, we provide trauma-informed therapy tailored to your unique experience. Whether your trauma is recent or long past, our licensed therapists create individualized treatment plans to help you process what happened, rebuild stability, and regain a sense of control.
Symptoms of trauma or PTSD may include intrusive memories or nightmares, heightened fear or hypervigilance, irritability, guilt or shame, emotional numbness, sleep disturbances, or avoiding reminders of the event. Not everyone who experiences trauma develops PTSD, but if symptoms are interfering with daily life, professional support can make a meaningful difference.
Through evidence-based approaches such as EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and other trauma-focused methods, we help clients regulate emotions, restore confidence, and move toward healing. When appropriate, therapy may be coordinated with medical providers for comprehensive care.
Call or text 832-413-2410 to schedule an appointment. You don’t have to navigate trauma alone.

PTSD/Trauma
Nenette Keenan
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
As a trauma informed therapist, I use a strength based approach to help clients manage symptoms of trauma, and to generate awareness around the accompanying emotions such as guilt, shame, heightened sensitivity, volatility. I implement guided imagery, narrative therapy, and EMDR as these modalities have been highly effective in alleviating negative emotions stemming from trauma.

PTSD/Trauma
Phillip Thomas Stepka, PsyD.
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist
I specialize in working with people who have experienced the worst that life can throw at them. This may include single devastating events such as natural disasters, catastrophic accidents, and loss. This may also include chronic experiences such as childhood neglect/abuse, prolonged exposure to big and little "T" traumas such as those experienced by service members, first responders, survivors of war, human trafficking, domestic violence, and other long-standing environmental stressors.

PTSD/Trauma
Elinor Nygren Szapiro
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA LPC, EMDR II, Brainspotting Certification, Hypnotherapy
Difficult and traumatic events, even ones that may seem like 'not that big a deal', stay lodged in our physical bodies and nervous systems. When you find yourself overreacting (or having a bigger reaction than a situation seems to warrant), that is often because the current situation is activating/triggering a previous event/trauma. Trauma is held in the body, below the mind, and, therefore, cannot be cleared by talk therapy alone. Thebody/mind, neurophysiological methods of Brainspotting and EMDR reach into the body and the primitive brain where the trauma is held and can help gently release the trauma.
