Dr. Meghan Miller
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
Trauma can impact the nervous system long after the event has passed, affecting relationships, work performance, emotional regulation, and your sense of safety. You may notice heightened anxiety, emotional numbness, difficulty trusting others, or feeling stuck in patterns that don’t make logical sense. In therapy, I take a structured, evidence-based approach grounded in CBT and trauma-informed care to help you process painful experiences safely and at your own pace. Our work focuses on restoring a sense of control, strengthening coping skills, and helping your mind and body move from survival mode toward greater stability and integration.

Lisa Gray
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Our body has many amazing adaptive responses to trauma, but sometimes the alarm is still sounding despite the danger having passed. Things like dissociation and hyper-vigilance can be our body's wisdom in action to protect us from more harm, and that's a beautiful thing. Together, we will work towards a place of recognition for our adaptiveness, and de-activation of reactions that no longer serve us.

Joe Groninga
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) often creates very painful symptoms and is something for which I use a therapy called Prolonged Exposure (PE). In this therapy, we will revisit traumatic situations, process painful emotions, and change unhelpful beliefs about yourself and the world around you as a result of your trauma. People are often amazed at how quickly this treatment can work and by the very meaningful change that can result. For these reasons, this is one of my favorite treatments to provide.

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.
