Jessica Oliver, Aspire Counseling
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW
Our founder is passionate about trauma and PTSD treatment. We believe that you don't have to be in therapy for years to find healing and move forward from trauma. You just need effective, evidence based treatment. So that is what we survive. Trauma therapy is hard work, but your therapist will be with you ever step of the way. Our office is a safe space, and if you have a particularly upsetting session you can always calm your mind in our meditation room before returning to your daily life. We know it's hard to face what happened to you. But our compassionate therapists want to provide you effective treatment so you can get better quickly.

Dr. Millie C. Astin
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Trauma can happen to anyone at any time. Combat, sexual assault, interpersonal violence, and other forms of injury and threat to life can lead to crippling symptoms of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). These can include intrusive thoughts about the trauma, nightmares, feeing on guard, not being able to sleep or concentrate, irritability, and feeling disconnected from others. There are several very effective treatments for PTSD that help you face the trauma directly so you can come to terms with it and move on with your life. These include Prolonged Exposure Therapy (PE), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Eye Movement and Desensitization Therapy (EMDR) and a new, briefer treatment called Written Exposure Therapy (WET). I have extensive experience with all of these approaches and can help you regain your life with them. Additionally, I worked for many years at the Veterans Affairs Healthcare System, leading the PTSD Clinic, so have lots of familiarity with veterans as well as civilians.
