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.

Maria Elizabeth LeBlanc
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, M.Ed MSW LICSW
Traumatic experiences can be singular or chronic. Often individuals feel the term trauma is only reserved for catastrophic experiences such as natural disasters, veteran's experiences, accidents, etc. More often than not, trauma can be the result of cumulative experiences throughout one's childhood and beyond (e.g. lack of safety, abuse, neglect, interpersonal violence as an adult, etc). PTSD is one's response to one or multiple traumas and can manifest as nightmares, intrusive re-experiencing of past traumatic event(s), hypervigilance, memory loss, exaggerated startle response, periods of dissociation, and more. I have experience working with both body/mind techniques to assist you in healing your trauma. Together we can come up with a plan that feels comfortable to you.
