PTSD/Trauma
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.

Dr. Sarah Pouliot
Psychologist, PhD, LP
Trauma did not wait for consent; Therapy must. While many different therapeutic modalities exist for the treatment of trauma and PTSD, what remains essential is the thoughtful and careful negotiation of pacing between therapist and client such that the therapeutic process feels as manageable and tolerable as possible. Given that trauma so often results from harmful relational dynamics that force agendas or remove personal agency, trauma therapy must offer a healing space that does not seek to rush, pressure, or impinge. Rather, and in my professional opinion, it's imperative that trauma therapy respect the client's experience of what feels manageable at any given moment in therapeutic time and space, working to avoid unnecessary setback and potential retraumatization. I feel this is best achieved through the development of a reliable therapeutic rapport and relationship that functions to carefully and mindfully co-monitor and co-negotiate the everchanging and expanding dynamics between therapist and client. Put another way, your therapy should not be forced into someone else's timeframe or methodology; it should be allowed to develop in step with your specific history, unique needs, and comfort level. Please refer to my Trauma Blog on my website (pouliotpsychologicalservices.com) for more information on my approach to the treatment of trauma.

PTSD/Trauma
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.

Dan Walinsky
Psychologist, PhD
I've found that the range of traumas that people experience disrupts our experience of day-to-day life and relationships in so many ways. So many people who've experienced patterns of traumatizing, persistently invalidating, or minimizing experiences have found coping strategies to manage the profound impacts of trauma but eventually find that those strategies no longer work. Together, we will look at the impact of traumas and using a range of practices, which potentially include EMDR, internal parts work, and polyvagal theory, we will work to supportively rebuild a sense of self-guided trust in the world.
