Trauma and PTSD
Maryellen Newman
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Working through trauma in therapy requires a specialized and sensitive approach that acknowledges the profound impact of traumatic experiences on an individual's mental and emotional well-being. Clinicians often utilize trauma-focused modalities, such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) or Trauma-focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), to help clients process and reframe traumatic memories. Establishing a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship is foundational, allowing individuals to explore their trauma narratives at their own pace. Therapists may employ grounding techniques, mindfulness, and relaxation exercises to assist clients in managing overwhelming emotions associated with trauma. Psychoeducation about the effects of trauma on the brain and coping strategies is another component of therapy. The goal of trauma work is to empower individuals to integrate and make sense of their experiences, fostering resilience, healing, and a renewed sense of control over their lives.

Vida Mendez
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LICSW, EMDR II
It’s like a video stuck on a loop that keeps playing over, and over, and over… You can’t get the images out of your head. Looking over your shoulder, being easily frightened; it wasn’t you before, but it is now. Things look bleaker than they did before it happened. Remembering or not remembering, you’re unsure of which is worse. Is this your new normal? To others, you look like you’re keeping it together. It couldn’t be farther from the truth. You’re hiding behind a thin veil of normalcy and you're worried about what would happen if the curtain were pulled back. It’s barely masking the complex emotions that you fear will come flooding out of you.
So is there any good news? Yes! With the right therapy, trauma-related struggles are some of the most treatable mental health conditions. I am trained in an approach called EMDR which helps you recall disturbing experiences and reprocess them. This causes your memories to feel more neutral or even peaceful when recalled- bringing harmony back to your life.
It’s time to deal with the past and that’s why you’re still reading. Give me a call today to schedule a free 20-minute phone call. It's not too late to get back to who you are and what you want your life to be.
