Trauma and PTSD
Success Behavioral Health, Teresa J Lynch
Psychologist, PhD, LP, CCHT, CMHIMP
Some psychological therapies involve direct and repeated reliving the traumatic incident(s), but that is not the only way. Somatic and similar methods help you deal with trauma reaction using a bottom up, non-confrontational approaches. iRest yoga, a specialized mindfulness program or PTSD, is a powerful and proven effective for Veterans, sex traffic victims, and other survivors. Nightmare Reduction Therapy can also help you to finally get a good nights sleep without fear of intrusive dreams. Additionally, I can help you explore and learn about nutritional and other complementary approaches to help balance and soothe your sensitive hyper-aroused nervous system and reduce the effects of long term stress on the body.

Trauma and PTSD
Karen Baumstark, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., CMHIMP, CTACC
None of us can escape some level of trauma; inevitably, it will be a part of life. How much it affects us, however, depends on many factors including the nervous system we were born with, our outer resources, and how much relational support we receive to help us recover from the trauma. Many people do not have access to adequate resources to help them recover from trauma (and this is very subjective and personal, varying from person to person), and the trauma continues to affect them in (sometimes subtle, but still) impactful ways. If certain factors come together, PTSD may develop out of trauma. Often clients feel like they have failed because they can't completely "get over" their PTSD reactions. I have often reminded clients that PTSD is "the gift that keeps on giving". It can be very hard, perhaps impossible, to completely eradicate PTSD reactions, because the reaction is not just of the mind, it is of the whole body. My approach to helping clients with trauma and PTSD involves looking at it holistically and working to understand how the trauma changed you, your reaction across many facets of your life (thoughts, feelings, habits, behaviors, self-care or lack thereof, expectations, how you view the world), and then working on replacing what is harmful with what is helpful. The goal isn't to completely get rid of the PTSD symptoms (which is likely impossible) but rather to dramatically reduce its effect on you, so you can live your best life, and so an occasional symptom breaking through will not derail you.

Barry Lipscomb
Hypnotherapist, CHT
You feel defined by your past. The lingering effects of physical or emotional trauma cast a constant shadow on your daily experience. Your relationships, career and enjoyment of life are all minimized by this trauma. It seems you will always be limited by the past. Yet, you want more than this out of your life.
Using guided meditation and hypnotherapy, I help you heal your past trauma and move beyond how it limits your life experience. We work together to find a path forward, move beyond your traumatic past, and tap into your own intuition to find new more fulfilling and productive ways to be in your life.

Trauma and PTSD
Lauren Rothstein
Psychologist, Ph.D.
In working with Trauma and PTSD, I employ a trauma-informed and patient-centered approach. This involves creating a safe therapeutic space where individuals can explore and process their traumatic experiences. Techniques such as Prolonged Exposure (PE), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Written Exposure Therapy (WET), Skills Training in Affective and Interpersonal Regulation (STAIR), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) may be used to address symptoms and promote healing. The focus is on helping individuals regain a sense of control, manage triggers, address avoidance, and work towards building a foundation for long-term recovery.
