Trauma and PTSD
Abby Cobey
Psychologist, PsyD
Treatment for trauma and PTSD is really hard. It doesn't feel good to remember the things we most want to forget and unfortunately there is no easy way to heal. You've likely already discovered that avoidance won't work. What we will work on together is feeling the feelings in session so that they are less likely to creep up on you when you don't expect or want them. We'll look at your thinking surrounding the event and how your thinking has changed over time. It will get better.

Psychologist, PhD, LPC, PsyD, MSW, Marriage and Family Counselor, LCSW
Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can develop from being exposed to a wide variety of traumatic events such as motor vehicle crashes, home accidents, sexual assault, domestic violence, or being involved in a natural disaster. As the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-V) describes it, PTSD happens after “being witness to or being exposed to situations involving threatened or actual serious physical harm or death.” But it’s important to keep in mind that experiencing a trauma doesn’t mean a person will absolutely develop PTSD.

Maria Elizabeth LeBlanc
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, M.Ed MSW LICSW
Traumatic experiences can be singular or chronic. Often individuals feel the term trauma is only reserved for catastrophic experiences such as natural disasters, veteran's experiences, accidents, etc. More often than not, trauma can be the result of cumulative experiences throughout one's childhood and beyond (e.g. lack of safety, abuse, neglect, interpersonal violence as an adult, etc). PTSD is one's response to one or multiple traumas and can manifest as nightmares, intrusive re-experiencing of past traumatic event(s), hypervigilance, memory loss, exaggerated startle response, periods of dissociation, and more. I have experience working with both body/mind techniques to assist you in healing your trauma. Together we can come up with a plan that feels comfortable to you.

I greatly value research and provide the most up-to-date treatments for trauma and PTSD. In particular, I provide Prolonged Exposure Therapy and Cognitive Processing Therapy (both that have the most research support for them). This means that you will feel better faster and be able to get back to your life.
