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.

Michael Young
Pastoral Counselor/Therapist, Mdiv, CRW
Trauma and PTSD are often swept under the rug by those who want to appear "normal." Having worked with veterans for nearly 5 years at Montachusetts Veterans Outreach Center, I learned how to support and address their issues. In studying with Dr. Ed Tick PhD of Soldier's Heart, I learned that PTSD can lead to "post-traumatic SOUL development."

Restoring authentic right connection to self in spite of trauma
In treating Trauma and PTSD, we use sandplay and somatic focusing to discharge survival energy that talk therapy often can't reach. We move at the pace of your nervous system, ensuring that the "Deep-Sea Diving" we do stays within your window of tolerance. Our goal is to move you from a state of constant surveillance to a state of prophetic peace.

Tina Nickels
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
I have experience working with those who have a history of trauma or a diagnosis of PTSD. I am compassionate and have a naturally calm demeanor that encourages clients to relax and open up. I will not pressure a client, but instead I listen and lead. There are many sources and types of trauma, and no two people are alike. Together we will explore the path to healing.

Therapy focuses on helping you feel safer in your body and daily life, reduce distressing symptoms, and better understand how past experiences continue to affect the present.
