Dr. Sarah Pouliot
Psychologist, PhD, LP
Trauma did not wait for consent; Therapy must. While many different therapeutic modalities exist for the treatment of trauma and PTSD, what remains essential is the thoughtful and careful negotiation of pacing between therapist and client such that the therapeutic process feels as manageable and tolerable as possible. Given that trauma so often results from harmful relational dynamics that force agendas or remove personal agency, trauma therapy must offer a healing space that does not seek to rush, pressure, or impinge. Rather, and in my professional opinion, it's imperative that trauma therapy respect the client's experience of what feels manageable at any given moment in therapeutic time and space, working to avoid unnecessary setback and potential retraumatization. I feel this is best achieved through the development of a reliable therapeutic rapport and relationship that functions to carefully and mindfully co-monitor and co-negotiate the everchanging and expanding dynamics between therapist and client. Put another way, your therapy should not be forced into someone else's timeframe or methodology; it should be allowed to develop in step with your specific history, unique needs, and comfort level. Please refer to my Trauma Blog on my website (pouliotpsychologicalservices.com) for more information on my approach to the treatment of trauma.

Aryn Ziehnert
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Trauma is not defined only by what happened to you, but by the lasting impact it leaves on your mind, body, and sense of safety. Living with trauma or PTSD often means navigating unexpected triggers, hypervigilance, emotional numbness, or intrusive memories that pull you back into the past. In our work together, healing is never forced or rushed. My practice offers a gentle, trauma-informed harbor where safety and pacing are prioritized above all else. Using evidence-based, compassionate approaches, we will work collaboratively to help soothe your nervous system, process painful experiences without overwhelm, and restore a sense of calm, control, and wholeness.
