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.

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
Kisha Winston-Watkins
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-C, MBA
Trauma can leave deep emotional imprints that shape how we think, feel, and interact with the world. Whether the trauma comes from childhood experiences, relationship wounds, sudden life events, or ongoing stressors, its impact can show up in ways that feel overwhelming, confusing, or difficult to navigate. Many people find themselves struggling with triggers, emotional sensitivity, or feeling disconnected from their sense of self.
In my practice, I help individuals process and understand the emotional effects of trauma, rebuild a sense of safety, and develop healthier ways to cope. Together, we create a compassionate, grounded space where you can explore your experiences, strengthen your resilience, and begin healing at a pace that feels right for you. My goal is to support you in reclaiming your voice, restoring emotional balance, and moving forward with greater clarity and confidence.

PTSD/Trauma
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.
