Chad T. Allen
Licensed Psychoanalyst, MA, LPCC
I am a psychoanalyst in private practice in the Minneapolis–St. Paul area, working with adults who have experienced trauma or continue to feel affected by overwhelming or distressing events. Trauma can shape emotional experience in ways that include anxiety, emotional numbing, intrusive memories, or difficulties with trust and safety in relationships.
My work is grounded in the belief that traumatic experiences require careful and respectful attention over time. Psychoanalytic psychotherapy provides a space to approach these experiences gradually, allowing individuals to develop understanding and meaning without pressure to revisit experiences before they feel ready. As the impact of trauma becomes more understandable, individuals often experience greater emotional stability and freedom in their relationships and daily lives.
I also work with couples when the effects of trauma influence intimacy or communication within the relationship.

Allen Wood
Psychologist, Psy.D.
As a psychologist specializing in the full range of trauma, I integrate Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) with Internal Family Systems (IFS) to reinforce a sense of safety, control, and worthiness. I draw upon the principles of Interpersonal Neurobiology to understand how our nervous system is forced to adapt in extreme and overwhelming situations, and how those adaptations can be reinforced or blocked by our relationships, internal conflicts, and past experiences. In our work together, you can expect a high level of collaboration, deeply compassionate understanding, and an abundance of metaphors as we tailor the therapy process to your needs, strengths, and situation.

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.
