Jade Burns
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LCPC
Traumatic experiences can affect every part of our lives, including how we interact with others and how we interact with the world. It can be difficult to trust and feel safe. Together we can build a safe space for you to explore your triggers and emotions and learn how to manage them as they come up. By learning how to manage our thoughts and behaviors, we can make a change for the better.

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.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-C
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that can develop in individuals who have experienced or witnessed a traumatic event. Trauma, broadly defined as a deeply distressing or disturbing experience, can have lasting effects on one's emotional and psychological well-being. Common sources of trauma leading to PTSD include but are not limited to, combat exposure, sexual assault, accidents, or natural disasters. Symptoms of PTSD often manifest as intrusive memories, nightmares, heightened arousal, avoidance of reminders, and negative changes in mood and cognition. Trauma affects individuals differently, and while some may recover naturally over time, others may need therapeutic intervention. Effective treatments for PTSD include various forms of psychotherapy, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), as well as medications that target specific symptoms. Recognizing and addressing trauma is crucial for promoting healing and restoring a sense of safety and well-being.

Hypnosis Silver Spring
Hypnotherapist, Hypnotherapist certified by International Medical and Dental Hypnotherapy Association
Trauma and PTS (I don't like the "D" for "disorder") work can be difficult. We will work through and resolve the memory of the original incident or incidents, in gentle ways that do not require direct, painful re-experiencing. We will work mostly on the unconscious level to resolve the emotions involved, and the associated shame, guilt, regret, and grief.
This work can take longer than the 3-4 sessions that resolve most other types of issues.

Alison Huang - Grow Your Mind Psychotherapy
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC
"Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom." We can't change what happened to us, but we can change how we respond to trauma. I am a trauma-informed therapist who specialized in treating people with trauma history. I was trained in strengths-based trauma recovery and somatic experiencing to help clients release their traumatic responses, regulate their physical responses, and connect their body and mind.
