PTSD/Trauma
Melanie Collins
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, LPC, LCMHC, Coach
Trauma can continue shaping thoughts, emotions, relationships, sexuality, and the nervous system long after the immediate danger has passed. I help clients understand their trauma responses, recognize the ways past experiences may still be influencing the present, and develop greater safety, choice, and self-trust. My approach is trauma-informed and individualized, with attention to attachment, relationships, identity, and the body as well as symptoms of PTSD. The goal isn’t to erase what happened or force you to “move on,” but to help the past take up less space in the life you’re living now.

PTSD/Trauma
Rizaldy R Ferrer
Psychologist, PHD
I approach therapy from the belief that emotional difficulties such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, grief, and other psychological concerns are best understood not only by their symptoms, but by how we respond to pain, uncertainty, expectations, and change. My work often focuses on helping clients recognize unhelpful patterns, become less governed by comparison or rigid thinking, tolerate discomfort more effectively, and identify small but meaningful shifts that can change the direction of their lives. Rather than viewing people as simply “right or wrong” or “well or unwell,” I try to understand what is happening, how it developed, and what may help someone move forward with greater awareness, flexibility, and intention.

PTSD/Trauma
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.

PTSD/Trauma
Aaron Kapin
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
From the perspective of Somatic Experiencing, trauma isn't the thing that happened 15 years ago (or last week), it's the ongoing effects that that incident continues to have on your body.
We can work together to figure out how your body is still reacting to that incident, and work to help your body 'catch up' to the present moment. If you're safer now than you were then, there are ways we can help your body 'complete' the threat response from so long ago, and land in the comparative safety of the present moment.
I can't treat PTSD, so if you've been diagnosed with PTSD you should still work with a licensed mental health professional, even as you work with me. What I can do is support your body in turning down the volume on that threatened feeling that has been coming up since the trauma-inducing events.

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.
