Trauma and PTSD
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.

My approach to working with Trauma and PTSD is holistic, integrative and collaborative. My goals for trauma/PTSD work are trifold: 1) helping you heal from difficult traumatic memories that are keeping you stuck in the past so that you can focus on what is truly important in the present 2) helping you gain insight and awareness into how your past trauma(s) are impacting the relationships in your life (relationships with others and with your own self) and 3) helping you move away from fear/avoidance-based behaviors and choices and instead, make choices in your life that are aligned with your goals and values. I am here for you when you are ready to begin your healing journey.

Dan Walinsky
Psychologist, PhD
I've found that the range of traumas that people experience disrupts our experience of day-to-day life and relationships in so many ways. So many people who've experienced patterns of traumatizing, persistently invalidating, or minimizing experiences have found coping strategies to manage the profound impacts of trauma but eventually find that those strategies no longer work. Together, we will look at the impact of traumas and using a range of practices, which potentially include EMDR and internal parts work, we will work to supportively rebuild a sense of self-guided trust in the world.
