Joe Groninga
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) often creates very painful symptoms and is something for which I use a therapy called Prolonged Exposure (PE). In this therapy, we will revisit traumatic situations, process painful emotions, and change unhelpful beliefs about yourself and the world around you as a result of your trauma. People are often amazed at how quickly this treatment can work and by the very meaningful change that can result. For these reasons, this is one of my favorite treatments to provide.

Carrie Gauthier
Hypnotherapist, Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, CCHt
My hypnotic formula is trauma-sensitive. I work with men and women experiencing a full spectrum of symptoms of chronic trauma and abuse. We use a variety of frameworks to process, heal and move on in life, so that you are finally comfortable in our own skin. Ultimately, we reset your nervous system, give you the tools to emotional regulation, and progam in a pathway to safety, at all times. We get there by first looking at the symptoms you are experiencing, and the associated beliefs and emotions, then reframe them with healthier and desired alternatives, while defining your new goals. We may use a hypnotic regression to allow the inner child to confront their antagonist and finally emotionally release what's been held back and suppressed for too long. Once this happens, there is a chance to forgive (if this is appropriate and/or available to you), along with a beautiful formula where we reach a core state of love, reprocess and reframe the unwanted programming, and grow the child up to a healthy and mature adult. Throughout the process, I also provide coping skills like tapping to use in the event there is a shame or trigger spiral. I train you in the breathwork technique that can change your chemical makeup from dread or fear to an elevated, inspired state. Most clients experience release and reach a state of inner peace by the third session.

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.

I specialize in trauma and PTSD, using EMDR to help clients manage symptoms like unwanted thoughts, flashbacks, feeling emotionally numb, avoiding reminders of the trauma, being overly alert, and having trouble in relationships. Overall, EMDR can helps clients work through traumatic memories, reduce emotional and physical effects, and improve quality of life.
