Emily Bennings

Developmental trauma stems from early childhood abuse from a trusted caregiver, usually repeated over time. Sensorimotor Psychotherapy and Trauma-Informed Stabilization Treatment are particularly helpful in helping clients heal from these disorders.

Counselor/Therapist, LPC
Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is a powerful and efficient approach to healing trauma and PTSD, often bringing significant relief in just one session, with most clients needing no more than 3-5. Unlike traditional talk therapy, ART helps your brain rapidly process and reframe traumatic memories, so they no longer feel overwhelming or intrusive. You don’t have to relive the details of what happened—ART works gently and effectively to reduce distress, ease triggers, and restore a sense of calm. If you’re struggling with flashbacks, anxiety, or the lingering effects of trauma, ART can help you find lasting relief and move forward with confidence.
Trauma isn’t just something that happened in the past—it’s something your body and mind are still carrying. If you’ve experienced trauma, whether from childhood, relationships, or a specific event, you might feel stuck in patterns of fear, anxiety, or emotional numbness. Maybe you struggle with flashbacks, nightmares, or an inability to fully relax, as if your nervous system is constantly bracing for danger. Even when you try to move forward, certain triggers can bring the past rushing back, making it feel like it’s happening all over again. This isn’t just in your head—your brain has stored trauma in a way that keeps it feeling fresh and unresolved.
Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) helps your brain reprocess trauma so it no longer controls you. Unlike traditional therapy that requires talking about painful experiences over and over, ART works quickly to change how trauma is stored in the brain—without reliving the pain. In just a few sessions, ART can reduce the emotional intensity of traumatic memories, allowing you to move forward without being constantly triggered. Therapy isn’t about forgetting the past—it’s about breaking free from its grip, so you can feel safe, present, and in control of your life again. You don’t have to stay trapped in survival mode—healing is possible, and you deserve peace.

Peter Hoistad
Drug and Alcohol Counselor, LADC
This is the diagnosis that I have the most experience working with. I prefer meeting a client where they are at and what level of comfortability they are with sharing their traumatic experiences. If someone doesn't want to relive the past over and over again, then we can focus on the current and future to see how we can work together to lower the symptoms.

Dr. Amanda Malak
Psychologist, Clinical Psychologist
I specialize in helping individuals who have experienced trauma or are dealing with PTSD. My approach includes trauma-informed therapies like CPT, PE, somatic experiencing, and other techniques designed to help clients process and heal from their traumatic experiences. I work with clients to address symptoms like flashbacks, anxiety, and avoidance, and to help them regain a sense of safety, control, and empowerment. My goal is to create a supportive environment where clients can work through their trauma at their own pace, build resilience, and ultimately move toward healing and recovery. Referrals to EMDR or medication management are offered when appropriate.
