Trauma and PTSD therapists in Saint Joseph, Minnesota MN
Newport Institute
Licensed Mental Health Counselor
At Newport Institute, we understand that maladaptive behaviors in young adults don’t come out of nowhere, even if it seems that way. Coping mechanisms such as drinking, drug use, and self-harm are often signs of trauma that hasn’t been resolved. For young adults to heal from PTSD and trauma disorders, they need treatment that helps them build resilience, insight, and the courage to face the past—so they can move freely into the future.

Shelly Melroe
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
The suffering and symptoms causes by trauma and neglect are not a life sentence. Decades of trauma research shed light on the mind-body's natural capacity to heal and grow through incident as well as complex trauma. Talk therapy can be limited because it misses the fundamental that trauma is held in the body. Restoration requires understanding the degree of under-development in the nervous system functioning, bringing compassion for the embodied habits of survival that have become maladaptive in your life today. Shelly will guide you with neural based interventions that can restore the felt sense of safety in the body, releasing the feelings of being trapped. You may then find the empowerment to engage with your emotional system to integrate your past so you can live in the present.
7 Years Experience
Dr. JD Wright
Psychologist, PhD, Licensed Psychologist
When working with trauma I pull from EMDR, somatic approaches, and parts work. A primary goal of the work is to reduce shame and self-judgments, and for you to feel like you can understand and provide compassion to yourself. Through those processes, trauma can be transformed and your experience of yourself and those around you naturally reshaped.

Dr. Desiree S. Howell
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Using EMDR, IFS-informed, and somatic (body-based) strategies, we will collaboratively explore what you need and want to feel safe to continue on your healing journey. Your body is wise and many habits were likely effective coping strategies in the past but are now no longer serving you. We will work together to help your body recalibrate its sense of safety and enjoy a regulated nervous system.
