Dr. L A McCrae
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCADC, FOT, CCTP, CCTSA
Restoring authentic right connection to self in spite of trauma
In treating Trauma and PTSD, we use sandplay and somatic focusing to discharge survival energy that talk therapy often can't reach. We move at the pace of your nervous system, ensuring that the "Deep-Sea Diving" we do stays within your window of tolerance. Our goal is to move you from a state of constant surveillance to a state of prophetic peace.

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.

Sarah Jacques
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSWC-C
Trauma can leave deep marks—flashbacks, anxiety, or feeling “on edge” long after the event has passed. PTSD may make it hard to trust, relax, or feel safe in your own body. In therapy, I provide a calm and supportive space where you can process what happened at your own pace. Together, we’ll work on reducing triggers, rebuilding a sense of safety, and creating tools that help you move forward with strength and resilience.

Trauma does not have to haunt you for the rest of your life, you can heal. I use EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) as well as EFT (Emotional-Freedom Technique) to treat PTSD and trauma alongside of traditional talk therapy.

Kisha Winston-Watkins
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-C, MBA
Trauma can leave deep emotional imprints that shape how we think, feel, and interact with the world. Whether the trauma comes from childhood experiences, relationship wounds, sudden life events, or ongoing stressors, its impact can show up in ways that feel overwhelming, confusing, or difficult to navigate. Many people find themselves struggling with triggers, emotional sensitivity, or feeling disconnected from their sense of self.
In my practice, I help individuals process and understand the emotional effects of trauma, rebuild a sense of safety, and develop healthier ways to cope. Together, we create a compassionate, grounded space where you can explore your experiences, strengthen your resilience, and begin healing at a pace that feels right for you. My goal is to support you in reclaiming your voice, restoring emotional balance, and moving forward with greater clarity and confidence.

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.
