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.

Sandra Lashley
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I have experience and training working with trauma, both what we call call big T and what we call little t. Trauma in general can overwhelm coping skills and can affect all levels of the body: Cognitive, psychological, emotional and physical functioning. The best and most effective trauma work is slow work, that rests on a foundation of safety and trust and I do believe that it is vitally important to not become retraumatized in therapy. This is careful, thoughtful work and like all therapy, each person's experience is unique and must be respected and integrated into each individual's own goals, temperament, coping skills and strengths.

Aysha Wells
Counselor/Therapist, LGPC
Trauma can affect how you see yourself, relate to others, and experience safety in your everyday life. I provide a compassionate, supportive space for clients processing difficult or overwhelming experiences and navigating symptoms such as anxiety, hypervigilance, avoidance, emotional numbness, or feeling disconnected. Our work focuses on building safety and trust, understanding how trauma may be impacting you today, and developing healthy coping and grounding strategies at a pace that feels manageable. My goal is to support you in reconnecting with yourself, strengthening your sense of safety, and moving forward with greater self-compassion and confidence.

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.

Taylor Allie
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC
You are not the experiences you've encountered, but sometimes it doesn't feel that way. I employ IFS techniques to help you better understand and compassionately reshape your relationship to each of the parts of you that make up the whole of who you are, including those intertwined with core memories that still elicit feelings of grief, resentment, or frustration.

Daniel McNulty
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LMSW
It is my goal to cultivate our relationship by providing a warm, supportive, and non-judgmental environment where you can feel understood and heard. To find the method that works best for each individual client struggling with a history of trauma, I draw from psychodynamic, humanistic, and existential perspectives. Additionally, I incorporate a variety of modalities into my work with clients including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing.
