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.

Louis Hoffman
Psychologist, PhD
Trauma can profoundly affect our sense of safety, identity, trust, relationships, and understanding of ourselves and the world. Whether resulting from a single overwhelming event or prolonged experiences of abuse, neglect, loss, or other adversity, trauma can leave lasting emotional and relational wounds. Drawing from existential-humanistic, relational, trauma-informed, and integrative psychotherapy, I provide a compassionate, collaborative space where clients can explore their experiences at a pace that respects their needs and sense of safety. My approach recognizes that trauma is not simply a collection of symptoms but an experience that can fundamentally shape how we relate to ourselves, others, and the world. Together, we work toward reducing distress, processing painful experiences, rebuilding trust and personal agency, and reconnecting with a sense of meaning, authenticity, and possibility. My goal is to support healing without allowing traumatic experiences to define the whole person.

Emily Blitz
Psychologist, PsyD
Trauma doesn’t always come from one big event—small, repeated experiences can quietly shape how safe, seen, or steady you feel in the world. In our work, we create a supportive space to notice these patterns, understand how they affect your relationships and sense of self, and gently foster healing. Approached with curiosity and care, you can find greater safety, insight, and self-understanding.
