Trauma and PTSD should only be treated by someone who has extensive experience with it. I spent many years working with people who have suffered trauma and developed PTSD. I rely on an approach called Prolonged Exposure therapy which does not mean that you are actively exposed to the source of your trauma but rather we work through these issues both in looking at the trauma and in what ways it has affected your life.

Dan Walinsky
Psychologist, PhD
I've found that the range of traumas that people experience disrupts our experience of day-to-day life and relationships in so many ways. So many people who've experienced patterns of traumatizing, persistently invalidating, or minimizing experiences have found coping strategies to manage the profound impacts of trauma but eventually find that those strategies no longer work. Together, we will look at the impact of traumas and using a range of practices, which potentially include EMDR and internal parts work, we will work to supportively rebuild a sense of self-guided trust in the world.

I received much of my clinical training at the National Center for PTSD in Boston and have over a decade of experience working with trauma survivors. I offer an array of treatment options for trauma/PTSD, which I detail on my website. Some of the forms of trauma that I routinely treat are childhood emotional/physical/sexual abuse; sexual assault; physical assault; motor vehicle accident; traumatic loss; traumatic birth; and combat.

Abby Cobey
Psychologist, PsyD
Treatment for trauma and PTSD is really hard. It doesn't feel good to remember the things we most want to forget and unfortunately there is no easy way to heal. You've likely already discovered that avoidance won't work. What we will work on together is feeling the feelings in session so that they are less likely to creep up on you when you don't expect or want them. We'll look at your thinking surrounding the event and how your thinking has changed over time. It will get better.
