Trauma affects people in many different ways and no one treatment approach can help everyone.

I have also published on Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.

Bethesda, Maryland therapist: Dr. Samira Paul Olive Tree Psychology Clinic LLC, psychologist
PTSD/Trauma

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.

Washington, Washington, D.C. therapist: Denise Jones, licensed clinical social worker
PTSD/Trauma

Denise Jones

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW, LCSW-C
As a Certified EMDR Therapist and an Approved EMDRIA consultant, the bulk of my clients come to me for trauma, PTSD, or Complex PTSD (sometimes known as developmental trauma). A common myth about EMDR is that it re-traumatizes the client, but when it's done properly that's not true. Trauma victims who receive any kind of therapy (not just EMDR!) need and deserve to be attended to slowly and listened to with profound sensitivity to their lived experience in order to bring them relief without re-traumatization. In addition to being an EMDR therapist, I am a trauma-informed practitioner who understands the importance of using the relational aspects of EMDR to help clients move through and process their trauma while feeling protected and safe.
