Trauma and PTSD
Erica Schultz
Counselor/Therapist, MA, LPC< NCC
I use EMDR therapy to help individuals heal from PTSD and trauma by addressing the lasting emotional and nervous system impacts of distressing experiences. Trauma can affect how individuals view themselves, relate to others, and respond to everyday stress, often contributing to anxiety, hypervigilance, emotional overwhelm, nightmares, or feelings of disconnection. EMDR helps the brain reprocess traumatic memories so they become less emotionally distressing and no longer feel as overwhelming in the present. Through this work, clients often experience increased emotional regulation, a greater sense of safety and empowerment, and the ability to move forward with renewed confidence and resilience.

Trauma and PTSD
Thavone Huinil-Phommavongsa
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LMSW, CAADC, Certified Imago Relationship Therapist, Hypnotherapist
Trauma and PTSD can affect how the body, mind, and relationships experience safety and trust. Symptoms may include hypervigilance, emotional numbness, intrusive memories, or difficulty connecting with others. I work with individuals impacted by trauma using a relational, culturally responsive approach that honors the nervous system and the meaning clients make of their experiences. Drawing from Imago-informed work, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and hypnotherapy when appropriate, I support healing at a pace that feels safe, grounded, and sustainable.

Grand Rapids is the commercial capital of west Michigan and the cultural center of the Christian Reformed tradition in America — a denomination that has historically shaped the city's conservative, community-oriented character and created a therapy landscape where faith-integrated approaches are among the most sought after. The city has a large Latino community and growing populations from West Africa and Burma through refugee resettlement, creating multilingual and culturally diverse therapy demand alongside its predominantly White and faith-oriented mainstream. Corewell Health and Mercy Health Saint Mary's provide major institutional mental health resources, while Calvin University and Michigan State University's Grand Rapids medical campus contribute training programs. Grand Rapids's growing art and brewing culture reflects a diversifying city identity, and therapists working with creative professionals and young urban residents are increasingly well represented.
