Trauma and PTSD
Margaret Graham
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LCPC, LPCC
My work with trauma and PTSD clients focuses on developing safe, paced strategies for processing difficult experiences that continue to impact your present life. Through evidence-based approaches including EMDR, clinical hypnosis, and somatic techniques, we address key areas including hypervigilance, emotional flashbacks, relational patterns rooted in past wounds, and nervous system dysregulation. I help clients build resources and resilience before processing traumatic memories, develop tools for managing triggers and overwhelming emotions in daily life, understand how past experiences shaped current beliefs and behaviors, and create new neural pathways that support healing and integration. My approach acknowledges that trauma work requires moving at your pace while providing a framework that allows you to process what happened without being retraumatized in the telling.

Trauma and PTSD
Margaret Graham
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Trauma isn't just about what happened to you – it's about what didn't happen that should have. Whether you experienced a single overwhelming event or the chronic, relational wounds of Complex PTSD (CPTSD), trauma lives in your body and nervous system, not just your memories. You might experience flashbacks, hypervigilance, emotional numbness, or difficulty trusting others. Or maybe you're dealing with the quieter symptoms of CPTSD – the deep sense of shame, difficulty regulating emotions, feeling fundamentally broken, or struggling with relationships because safety was never consistently available in childhood. I work with trauma using Coherence Therapy and memory reconsolidation, an approach that goes beyond managing symptoms to actually transforming the emotional learnings stored in traumatic memories. This isn't about reliving trauma or exposure therapy – it's about helping your brain update the meaning it made when the trauma occurred. We'll work at a pace that feels safe, building resources before processing difficult material, and honoring that healing happens when your nervous system feels regulated enough to integrate what happened without being overwhelmed by it.

Dr. Brian Sharpless
Psychologist, Ph.D., Clinical Psychology; M.A., Philosophy
Trauma affects people in many different ways and no one treatment approach can help everyone. I have experience using both psychodynamic (e.g., Supportive-Expressive Therapy) and cognitive-behavioral (e.g., Prolonged Exposure ) therapies for trauma. I have also published on Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.

Trauma and PTSD
Dr. Samira Paul Olive Tree Psychology Clinic LLC
Psychologist, PsyD
At Olive Tree Psychology Clinic LLC, we understand that trauma and PTSD can fundamentally reshape how you experience the world, often leaving you in a state of hyper-vigilance or emotional numbness. Our approach is deeply trauma-informed, moving away from "what is wrong with you" to explore "what happened to you." We specialize in treating both acute trauma and the "invisible" wounds of complex and intergenerational trauma, particularly as they intersect with cultural identity and family history. We help you process distressing memories and regain a sense of safety in your own body. Our goal is to provide a secure, compassionate environment where you can move beyond survival mode and reclaim a life defined by your values rather than your past.
