Lee Cunningham
Therapist, LPCC, LADC
Whether simple or complex, you make the choice for how and when we discuss your experiences. When people are given space and support, they are able to make the best choices for themselves. I offer both a safe environment and relationship to support you in connecting with the wisdom of your own brain and body to facilitate your healing direction. I am also trained in evidence based psychotherapy to treat PTSD including prolonged exposure and EMDR.

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.

Kathleen Hove
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
Have you experienced a traumatic event such as a death, life-threatening situation, serious injury, or sexual abuse? Do you have disturbing memories, dreams, or flashbacks? Do you find yourself avoiding people, places, or things that remind you of the traumatic event? Do you notice negative feelings and thoughts about yourself and others? Do you have difficulty letting your guard down? Do you struggle to function as you normally would in your personal or professional life since the traumatic event happened?
If any of these symptoms resonate with you, therapy can help by providing the powerful opportunity to connect with another person who knows what it's like to experience trauma but who also knows the way through it. It’s easy to feel alone in the midst of life's pain, but the reality is that all of us can relate to these moments because they are part of the human experience. As a fellow human, I can empathize with your suffering. As a therapist, I can help alleviate it with evidence-based trauma treatments tailored to you.

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.

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.

**Healing Trauma and PTSD Through Faith and Professional Expertise**
Trauma and PTSD can leave deep emotional scars, affecting every aspect of your life—your relationships, sense of safety, and ability to experience peace. The road to healing can feel daunting, but with the right support, it’s possible to find freedom and restoration. As a therapist with specialized training in trauma and PTSD, I use proven therapeutic methods to help you process past wounds, break free from the grip of painful memories, and reclaim your life.
What makes my approach unique is the integration of your Christian faith into the healing journey. Trauma can often shake our sense of identity and trust, even in God. Together, we will not only address the emotional and psychological effects of trauma but also nurture your spiritual connection, grounding your recovery in God’s love, grace, and promises. Through prayer, scripture, and a faith-based perspective, you’ll discover tools to rebuild trust, find strength, and embrace hope.
Healing from trauma doesn’t mean forgetting the past—it means finding a way to move forward with renewed purpose and faith. You don’t have to navigate this journey alone. Let’s work together to create a life where peace, joy, and the assurance of God’s presence replace the shadows of pain and fear.
