Jesika Doty - Amphora Mental Health Therapy
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC
Being widowed young in a violent accident, has helped shape my work with individuals suffering from trauma and PTSD. I work with you on addressing the emotional issues that arise from trauma and PTSD and integrate several modalities based on what speaks to you and also integrate somatic processing to help facilitate change within the nervous system. I also integrate the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) which works with your vagus nerve through sound vibrations that activate the auditory neural network including the branch of the vagus nerve - the ramus auricular. As the vagus nerve is stimulated, signals are sent to the nervous system telling it to relax and let go of tension and thus improving how your brain and body functions. We can't necessarily control external situations or obstacles that faces us in any given moment, but we can change our responses to them. This is part of the core work with those that suffer from trauma and PTSD.

Eve Palmatier
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I am trained in TF-CBT, and specialize in supporting clients through their trauma work. When someone is a survivor of trauma they continue to live with a nervous system which is hardwired to help them survive in unsafe conditions. This likely is what kept them alive and able to make it to the present day, but it's a great inconvenience to be in Survival Mode when trying to get through daily life. It also can mean that a person is well aware of how NOT to live a healthy life, but has had little to no guidance on what to do in order to build the kind of life they'd like. Healing from trauma can feel impossible, but it is entirely doable. I work to support people in cleaning out those old emotional wounds, so they can finally heal properly and begin living the life they want for themselves. It's hard, and it's possible.

New Leaf Counseling and Wellness
Psychologist
Treating trauma and PTSD requires a comprehensive and compassionate approach that prioritizes safety, trust, and empowerment. Drawing from evidence-based therapies such as cognitive processing therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), and somatic experiencing, I work with clients to process and integrate traumatic memories in a supportive therapeutic environment. Through psychoeducation, skill-building, and experiential techniques, I help clients regain a sense of control over their lives while addressing symptoms such as hypervigilance, flashbacks, and avoidance. My specialized expertise enables me to tailor treatment to each individual's unique needs, fostering healing, resilience, and a renewed sense of hope for the future.

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.
