Trauma and PTSD
Ross W. Hackerson
Life Coach, Life Coach
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 and PTSD
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."

Cook Counseling and Consulting Inc.
Counselor/Therapist, LISW-S, LCSW-QS, CCTP
The purpose of therapy for trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is to assist individuals in recovering from the emotional and psychological effects of traumatic experiences. Various events, including accidents, abuse, violence, natural disasters, and witnessing traumatic events, can cause trauma. PTSD is a trauma-related disorder characterized by intrusive and distressing memories, avoidance of trauma-related stimuli, negative mood and cognitive changes, and heightened arousal.
The selected therapeutic approach for trauma and PTSD may vary depending on the individual's specific requirements, the nature of the trauma, and their treatment objectives. Numerous clinicians may combine therapeutic approaches to develop a comprehensive, individualized treatment plan.
It is essential to recognize that trauma therapy can be emotionally taxing, as individuals may be required to confront distressing memories and emotions. Consequently, working with a qualified and experienced trauma therapist who can provide a secure and supportive environment throughout the recovery process is crucial.
Suppose you or someone you know is experiencing trauma or PTSD symptoms. In that case, it is strongly recommended that you seek assistance from a mental health professional trained in trauma therapy to begin the healing and recovery process.

Trauma and PTSD
Mary Mesiha
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
If you’ve experienced trauma, it can leave a lasting impact—sometimes in ways that are hard to put into words. You might feel anxious, disconnected, or easily overwhelmed, even when things seem “fine” on the outside.
In therapy, we’ll create a safe and supportive space where you can begin to make sense of your experiences at your own pace. Together, we’ll focus on helping you feel more grounded, regain a sense of stability, and move toward healing in a way that feels manageable and respectful of your process.
