PTSD/Trauma
Middle Path Wellness Collective
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LMSW, LPC, PLPC
We specialize in helping clients heal from trauma and PTSD, including experiences that continue to affect their sense of safety, relationships, and emotional well-being long after the event has passed. Trauma can show up as anxiety, hypervigilance, emotional numbness, intrusive memories, or feeling disconnected from yourself or others. Many clients feel stuck in survival mode, even when they logically know they are safe. Our trauma-informed, attachment-based approach helps clients process these experiences at a pace that feels safe and manageable, rebuild a sense of internal stability, and develop greater trust in themselves and their world. Therapy supports clients in moving from survival toward a life that feels more grounded, connected, and fully their own.

PTSD/Trauma
Tara Murphy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Trauma leaves lasting imprints on the body, mind, and relationships, and no two experiences of healing look the same. I have extensive experience working with military members, children in the foster care system facing complex trauma, and adults recovering from childhood neglect or abuse. My approach is trauma-informed and highly individualized, integrating IFS, attachment-focused therapy, mindfulness, somatic awareness, family systems, and psychodynamic work. I draw on a range of evidence-based and relational approaches to fit each client’s needs. I also collaborate closely with prescribers when helpful and provide careful diagnostic clarity to distinguish trauma from dissociative disorders, depression, or personality patterns.

Owelleth Mental Health
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, MedFT
I specialize in working with trauma using evidence-based, trauma-informed approaches including EMDR and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). I support clients healing from a wide range of traumatic experiences, including childhood abuse or neglect, relational and attachment trauma, domestic and emotional abuse, sexual trauma, medical trauma, immigration-related stress and persecution, complex trauma, and single-incident events. My approach prioritizes safety, stabilization, and empowerment, helping clients process traumatic memories, reduce distressing symptoms, and reconnect with a sense of control, resilience, and self-trust.

Experiencing trauma can affect the way you think, feel, relate to others, and move through the world long after the event has passed.

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.
