Trauma and PTSD
Tenikka Denard
Counselor/Therapist, MA, LCMHC
Unfortunately terrible things happen that open the door for trauma to enter our lives. Trauma can feel frightening and paralyzing. It can interfere with your ability to regulate your mood, connect with yourself or others, and engage in normal physical functioning. I provide trauma focused care to help survivors live beyond their past traumas. In my practice I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and yoga practices to help individuals recover from trauma. Additionally, I am certified to use Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to treat trauma in children and adolescents. Let's connect and explore if my approach is a good fit for your healing.

Monica Grey
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC
Trauma doesn't always look like a single adverse event — it can also be the accumulation of experiences that left you feeling unsafe, powerless, or disconnected from yourself. Whether you're dealing with a specific traumatic event or the effects of prolonged stress and adversity, I offer a structured, evidence-based approach to help you process what happened without being overwhelmed by it. Using cognitive behavioral and acceptance-based frameworks, we work on understanding how trauma has shaped your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors — and on building a path forward that feels safe and grounded. If trauma is also affecting your sleep, we can address that directly with targeted interventions.

Trauma and PTSD
Stacey Hellman
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-C
PTSD is a complicated thing to treat and actually responds a lot better to behavioral techniques rather than "talk therapy." Trauma affects the body and nervous system and is much more complex than a lot of people realize. I can help clients prevent and handle flashbacks more easily as well as decrease PTSD symptoms overall by using a technique called TRE (Trauma Releasing Exercise). Often talking about the trauma makes it worse and the goal is not to relive the trauma. The goal is to help clients separate "past" from "present" so that the traumatic event feels "done and over." While we can't change the past, we can help clients learn to stay in the present instead of being re-traumatized by memories of past events. I can provide EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Re-processing) which is a non-invasive effect method that neutralizes the emotional "charge" attached to traumatic memories. It is best use for single traumatic events (rather than years of traumatic circumstances in childhood for example). EMDR and TRE can only be done in person due to the equipment I use.

Baltimore residents face significant mental health challenges tied to the city's high rates of violence, poverty, and opioid addiction, driving strong demand for trauma-informed and addiction-focused therapists. The city is home to Johns Hopkins Hospital and the University of Maryland Medical Center, and many residents seek private therapy to complement or navigate care through these large institutions. Therapists in Baltimore frequently work with PTSD, grief, and community-level trauma across the city's diverse and deeply rooted neighborhoods. The proximity to Washington, D.C. also means many therapists serve commuters managing the particular stresses of a political and federal work environment.
