PTSD/Trauma
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.

PTSD/Trauma
Dr. Yuye Zhang
Psychologist, PhD, MSW
Traumatic experiences can continue to affect how you feel, relate to others, and understand yourself long after the original evens have passed. I work with adults who are experiencing the effects of trauma, including PTSD and complex PTSD (CPTSD), in a supportive and collaborative space. Our work can focus on understanding how past experiences continue to shape the present, reducing self-blame, and developing greater flexibility, self-understanding, and connection with yourself and others.

PTSD/Trauma
Dr. Alisha Desai
Psychologist, PhD
Trauma shapes how you see yourself, relate to others, and respond to the world long after a distressing experience has ended. You're constantly on guard, avoiding reminders of the past, struggling with unwanted memories, and carrying beliefs about yourself and others that are difficult to shake. With specialized postdoctoral training in trauma and PTSD, Dr. Desai the expertise and compassion to this work that drives meaningful, sustainable change. Working together, you'll move at a pace that feels manageable as you process difficult experiences, reduce the impact of trauma-related symptoms, and reconnect with yourself.

PTSD/Trauma
Caitlin Fountain
Psychologist, PsyD
Trauma can change how you see yourself, other people, and the world around you. You may feel like a different person than you were before, or find yourself stuck in patterns that once helped you survive but now make it difficult to move forward. I use elements of Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) and, when appropriate, exposure-based approaches to help you process what happened, examine beliefs that keep you stuck, and change thoughts and behaviors that no longer serve you. The goal isn’t to erase your past, but to help you reclaim your present and move toward a future that feels like your own.

Joe Groninga
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) often creates very painful symptoms and is something for which I use a therapy called Prolonged Exposure (PE). In this therapy, we will revisit traumatic situations, process painful emotions, and change unhelpful beliefs about yourself and the world around you as a result of your trauma. People are often amazed at how quickly this treatment can work and by the very meaningful change that can result. For these reasons, this is one of my favorite treatments to provide.
