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.

Lisa Taylor-Austin
Licensed Professional Counselor, NCC, LPC, LMHC, CFMHE, CFBA, LCPC, LCMHC
I use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to support clients in working through experiences that may feel emotionally or physically “stuck.” This approach helps process and integrate past traumatic events so that the emotions and body-based responses connected to those memories become less overwhelming. As a result, clients are often better able to remain present, engage more fully in their lives, and move toward their authentic potential. EMDR has been shown to be particularly effective for individuals experiencing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and complex PTSD (C-PTSD).

PTSD/Trauma
Andrew McKenzie, Psy.D.
Psychologist
Trauma often leaves us responding to the present as though the past is still happening. Many reactions that feel confusing or frustrating today once served an important protective purpose, even if they no longer fit your current life. Through a compassionate, trauma-informed approach, we'll work to understand those patterns instead of judging them. Together, we'll help you develop greater flexibility in responding to painful emotions while creating a stronger sense of safety and connection in the present.

I approach trauma and PTSD by helping you connect safely with the parts of yourself that carry pain, fear, or memories that feel stuck. Using IFS and EMDR, supported by mindfulness, we process these experiences while fostering resilience, calm, and healing.
