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. Amanda Malak
Psychologist, Clinical Psychologist
I specialize in helping individuals who have experienced trauma or are dealing with PTSD. My approach includes trauma-informed therapies like CPT, PE, somatic experiencing, and other techniques designed to help clients process and heal from their traumatic experiences. I work with clients to address symptoms like flashbacks, anxiety, and avoidance, and to help them regain a sense of safety, control, and empowerment. My goal is to create a supportive environment where clients can work through their trauma at their own pace, build resilience, and ultimately move toward healing and recovery. Referrals to EMDR or medication management are offered when appropriate.

Allen Shamon
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I provide psychoeducation about PTSD, helping individuals understand the symptoms, causes, and treatment options for the disorder. I also educate clients about the neurobiology of trauma, the impact of trauma on the brain and body, and common reactions to trauma. Psychoeducation helps individuals develop insight into their symptoms and empowers them to take an active role in their recovery journey.

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.

Clear Path Counseling and Wellness Center
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA. LPC
Brad provides trauma-informed counseling for anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, family issues, and a wide range of related emotional and psychological concerns. These difficulties can significantly impact daily functioning, relationships, self-esteem, work performance, and overall quality of life, often leaving individuals feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves and others.
Brad takes a holistic and trauma-focused approach to therapy, integrating evidence-based trauma treatment with a personalized, client-centered framework. Rather than focusing only on symptom management, therapy explores underlying emotional patterns, life experiences, and trauma histories that may be contributing to current distress.
As an experienced trauma therapist and EMDR therapist, Brad integrates EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), trauma-informed counseling, emotional regulation strategies, and holistic therapeutic approaches to support deep and lasting change. Treatment focuses on processing past experiences, reducing emotional reactivity, and helping clients develop healthier, more adaptive ways of thinking, feeling, and relating.
Clients often come to therapy feeling weighed down by anxiety, depression, or unresolved trauma. Brad’s approach helps clients understand how past experiences may still be influencing present-day thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, and works toward resolving these patterns in a structured and supportive way.
Therapy is collaborative and individualized, designed to help clients regain a sense of control, clarity, and emotional stability. The goal is to support meaningful, sustainable change that improves relationships, strengthens resilience, and enhances overall well-being.
Brad also specializes in religious trauma counseling for individuals who have experienced harm in religious or church settings. This may include spiritual abuse, coercion, guilt-based teachings, or other distressing experiences related to organized religion. Therapy provides a safe and non-judgmental space to process these experiences and rebuild a sense of identity, meaning, and emotional safety.
Healing is possible. With the right support, clients can move beyond the impact of trauma and create a more balanced, empowered, and fulfilling life.
