Raber Hamad
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, NCC, LPC
Trauma can make it feel like the past is still controlling your life. You might find yourself on edge, struggling to relax, or feeling disconnected from the people you love. Maybe certain situations trigger overwhelming emotions, or you shut down to avoid the pain. Even when things seem “fine” on the outside, you might feel stuck, exhausted, or like you're just trying to get through the day.
Healing isn’t about forcing yourself to “move on” or rehashing the past over and over. It’s about helping the parts of you that are still carrying pain feel safe, heard, and unburdened. Using gentle, research-backed approaches like Internal Family Systems (IFS), we’ll work together to process what happened without reliving it, so you can finally feel more grounded, connected, and in control of your life.

Jarrece Patrick
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, NCC, LPC
Healing from trauma or PTSD can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to face it alone. I work with clients to process past experiences in a safe, compassionate space while building tools to manage triggers, reduce distress, and reclaim a sense of safety and control. Using evidence-based approaches tailored to your needs, including DBT, behavioral strategies, and trauma-informed care, I help clients move toward healing, resilience, and a life where past experiences no longer define their present.

Anita D. Cohn, LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW
Trauma may be understood in different ways. Professionally, understanding trauma stems from individuals who are seeking help. Another way to learn about trauma is through research or reading. Experiencing personal trauma provides an inside means of understanding and feeling someone's trauma. I combine professional and personal trauma experiences in helping others.

Jenna Poppe
Pre-Licensed Professional, MA, NNC, PLPC | ADHD + Relationship Therapist
Trauma and ADHD have a complicated and deeply intertwined relationship. Many neurodivergent individuals carry significant trauma from childhood experiences of feeling different, broken, or not enough, to the cumulative weight of years of shame, rejection, and misunderstanding. And trauma has a way of living in the body long after the event has passed, showing up in ways that feel confusing, overwhelming, and sometimes impossible to explain.
I specialize in trauma and PTSD using EMDR, one of the most well-researched and effective trauma treatments available, alongside other evidence-based approaches. I work with clients to untangle trauma from neurodivergence, process what has been too heavy to carry alone, and rebuild a genuine sense of safety, self-worth, and peace.

St. Louis sits at a crossroads of the Midwest and the South, and its deeply segregated geography shapes a mental health landscape where therapists frequently address racial trauma, economic stress, and community-level grief rooted in the city's long history of systemic inequality. The 2014 Ferguson uprising brought national attention to St. Louis and left a lasting psychological mark on many residents, and therapists specializing in racial trauma, activism fatigue, and community healing remain in strong demand. Washington University School of Medicine and Barnes-Jewish Hospital provide world-class institutional mental health resources, with a strong private practice community concentrated in Clayton, the Central West End, and South City. St. Louis's lower cost of living relative to coastal cities makes quality private therapy more financially accessible for many residents.
