Trauma and PTSD
New Perspective Counseling
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LMSW, MA, LPC
Events that occurred years may affect us in the here and now, and sometimes we don’t even consciously recognize what caused these reactions in the first place. When you experience trauma, it’s as though that moment is frozen in time. In some ways it does, the trauma may get stuck in an unconcsious part of the brain but show itself in different ways, including various mental health issues. Our therapists provide trauma informed care, however, sometimes talking does not work with trauma or can even make it worse. That is why many of our therapists are trained in brain-based trauma intervention such EMDR, Brainspotting. These interventions allow for new neurological pathways to be formed and the trauma to be processed without the need to re-experience the events.

Susan Spicer
Psychologist, PhD
My background as a licensed psychologist and a trauma survivor uniquely positions me to offer compassionate and effective support to individuals who have experienced trauma, whether it be abandonment or physical, emotional, or sexual abuse. My personal journey through trauma has given me firsthand insight into the complex and often challenging process of healing. This, combined with my education and professional experience, enables me to approach therapy with deep empathy, understanding, and a genuine connection to my clients' experiences. I believe in the power of resilience and the potential for growth in the face of adversity, and I am dedicated to helping survivors on their path to recovery and empowerment.
With EMDR as my primary treatment modality, I bring a wealth of experience and expertise in guiding individuals towards trauma healing. My approach focuses on collaboratively identifying trauma targets for processing while also prioritizing resourcing techniques to reestablish a sense of safety and inner peace. Through EMDR therapy, I help clients transform the way traumatic memories are stored in the brain, ultimately freeing them from flashbacks, nightmares, and avoidance patterns associated with trauma. My commitment is to support individuals on their journey to reclaim their lives and find lasting relief from the effects of trauma.
