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.

PTSD/Trauma
Centers for Counseling and Wellness, Int'l
Psychologist, PhD
Trauma changes you. Not because you are weak, but because what happened to you was real, and your mind and body did exactly what they were designed to do to keep you alive. The problem is that sometimes those survival responses do not turn off when the danger is gone. And you find yourself stuck, hypervigilant, triggered by things that should feel ordinary, carrying a weight that nobody around you can quite see.
That is not a character flaw. That is trauma. And it is treatable.
At CCW International, trauma is at the core of what we do. It is the reason this practice exists. Our founder, a U.S. Army veteran and licensed clinical psychologist, built CCW International specifically to serve those who have been through the kinds of experiences that leave marks, the ones that do not show up on an X-ray but shape every single day.
We specialize in trauma recovery for women, veterans, and military families, bringing together evidence-based approaches, deep cultural competence, and genuine lived understanding of what it means to survive something hard and still have to show up for your life.
Whether your trauma came from combat, sexual assault, childhood experiences, medical trauma, loss, or any of the countless other ways life can wound us, you deserve care that actually understands what you have been through.
You survived it. Now let us help you heal from it.

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.

Tam Nguyen-Louie
Psychologist, Ph.D.
As an Asian clinical psychologist, I specialize in treating PTSD, with a deep focus on the intricate layers of sexual and relational trauma. I help clients process the debilitating impacts of trauma, including intrusive flashbacks, hypervigilance, and the deep-seated emotional numbing that often disrupts daily life. Understanding how cultural dynamics can compound these symptoms, I provide a tailored, culturally responsive space to safely confront these painful memories. Together, we work to untangle complex trauma responses, reclaim emotional regulation, and guide the mind and body back to a place of lasting safety.

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.
