PTSD/Trauma
Ann Aspnes
Psychologist, PhD, ABPP
With over two decades of experience helping individuals heal from trauma and PTSD, I offer a structured, evidence-based space to help you reclaim your life after overwhelming experiences. My approach relies on gold-standard, scientifically validated protocols, including Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Prolonged Exposure (PE), and Written Exposure Therapy (WET). For complex or relational trauma, I integrate Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Skills Training in Affective and Interpersonal Regulation (STAIR) to strengthen emotion regulation and rebuild interpersonal trust. Together, we safely process traumatic memories, reduce distressing flashbacks and hyperarousal, and equip you with the practical tools needed to feel grounded, safe, and back in control.

I provide a compassionate, supportive space for clients processing difficult or overwhelming experiences and navigating symptoms such as anxiety, hypervigilance, avoidance, emotional numbness, or feeling disconnected. Our work focuses on building safety and trust, understanding how trauma may be impacting you today, and developing healthy coping and grounding strategies at a pace that feels manageable. My goal is to support you in reconnecting with yourself, strengthening your sense of safety, and moving forward with greater self-compassion and confidence.

Christine Highfill
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC-S
Trauma can leave lasting effects, whether from a single event or ongoing experiences. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) may show up as flashbacks, nightmares, hypervigilance, or feeling emotionally numb and disconnected. These symptoms can interfere with daily life, relationships, and your sense of safety in the world. In therapy, I provide a trauma-informed, compassionate space where healing is possible. Using approaches like EMDR, somatic techniques, and evidence-based trauma therapies, we’ll work together to reduce distress, restore a sense of calm, and help you reclaim your life with greater balance, resilience, and strength.

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.

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.

PTSD/Trauma
Dr. Munazza Abraham
Psychologist, PhD
I specialize in trauma treatment using EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), an evidence-based approach that helps the brain reprocess distressing memories so they no longer carry the same emotional intensity. EMDR allows clients to heal without having to repeatedly retell painful experiences in detail. My trauma work is paced, compassionate, and grounded in safety.
Together, we can unpack and challenge internalized messages, build coping skills to navigate life’s ups and downs, and strengthen your capacity to live in alignment with your values and self-defined purpose. My practice emphasizes that “Community is medicine” with my creation of therapy groups to increase your sense of belonging and enhance collective healing. I also tap into ancestral knowledge, holistic and evidence-based practices, and the arts, all combined with your interests to tailor your healing experience.

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.
