Ah, the big one! EMDR, ART, ImTT are all State of the Art, Gold Standard treatment modalities for trauma I practice. I'm constantly amazed at two things: one, how resilient human beings are in their ability to survive trauma and then with the proper therapy to overcome the effects of that trauma; and two, how prevalent trauma is in our world. From Complex sexual trauma/molestation to missing the side of the trampoline and breaking a bone, to the trauma of being raised in an oppressive home, loss of job, status or lover, the effects are devastatingly limiting. I'm trained and experienced in EMDR, ART, and ImTT, all great trauma treatment modalities.

Trauma is not only about what happened—it is about how those experiences continue to live within you. Many individuals find that past events show up as heightened reactivity, emotional shutdown, or difficulty feeling safe in relationships. My approach focuses on understanding how trauma has shaped your internal world, including patterns of protection, expectation, and emotional response. Therapy provides a structured and attuned environment where these experiences can be processed at a pace that feels manageable, allowing for greater regulation, integration, and a restored sense of safety over time.
Understanding that trauma and PTSD can have profound and lasting impacts on an individual’s life, my approach focuses on uncovering and addressing the unconscious processes that influence thoughts and behaviors. By delving into these deeper layers, clients gain insight into the root causes of their trauma and PTSD, whether stemming from past abuses, accidents, or other distressing events. This comprehensive understanding facilitates more effective and lasting healing.
What sets my practice apart is my commitment to genuine therapeutic connection and present-moment awareness. I emphasize the importance of a strong therapeutic relationship, where clients feel truly seen, heard, and understood. Through this connection, we work together to develop healthy coping mechanisms, build resilience, and restore a sense of safety and control.
At Dynamic Growth Counseling LLC, I tailor each treatment plan to the individual needs of my clients, ensuring they receive the most relevant and effective care. By integrating psychodynamic principles with experiential techniques, I help clients transform their struggles with trauma and PTSD into opportunities for profound personal growth and resilience.
You will find a dedicated partner in your journey toward healing from trauma and PTSD. Together, we will work to alleviate your symptoms, empower you with the tools and insights needed for lasting emotional well-being, and guide you toward a future filled with hope, strength, and renewed sense of self.

Karen Bisignano
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Trauma comes in big T or little t varieties. Not all come with a PTSD or CPTSD diagnoses. Using EMDR and other treatment approaches, I can help you sort through and understand what happened so you live without the deep pain.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LICSW
Specialties include trauma therapy, PTSD, complex trauma, emotional regulation, post-traumatic growth, and trauma-informed care for adults.
I work with adults 18+ who have experienced trauma, including single-incident and complex or developmental trauma. Many clients come to therapy struggling with flashbacks, hypervigilance, anxiety, avoidance, or difficulty trusting themselves or others. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and trauma-informed, helping clients process traumatic experiences safely, develop coping strategies, and gradually reclaim a sense of control. Therapy is a supportive space to reduce the impact of trauma, strengthen resilience, and build a life where healing, growth, and self-understanding are possible.
