PTSD/Trauma
Karen Baumstark, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., CMHIMP, CTACC
None of us can escape some level of trauma; inevitably, it will be a part of life. How much it affects us, however, depends on many factors including the nervous system we were born with, our outer resources, and how much relational support we receive to help us recover from the trauma. Many people do not have access to adequate resources to help them recover from trauma (and this is very subjective and personal, varying from person to person), and the trauma continues to affect them in (sometimes subtle, but still) impactful ways. If certain factors come together, PTSD may develop out of trauma. Often clients feel like they have failed because they can't completely "get over" their PTSD reactions. I have often reminded clients that PTSD is "the gift that keeps on giving". It can be very hard, perhaps impossible, to completely eradicate PTSD reactions, because the reaction is not just of the mind, it is of the whole body. My approach to helping clients with trauma and PTSD involves looking at it holistically and working to understand how the trauma changed you, your reaction across many facets of your life (thoughts, feelings, habits, behaviors, self-care or lack thereof, expectations, how you view the world), and then working on replacing what is harmful with what is helpful. The goal isn't to completely get rid of the PTSD symptoms (which is likely impossible) but rather to dramatically reduce its effect on you, so you can live your best life, and so an occasional symptom breaking through will not derail you.

Jennifer Francke Psychotherapy, LLC
Licensed Professional Counselor, LIMHP, LPC, LADC, LMHC
Trauma can have a lasting impact on your mental, emotional, and physical well-being, whether it stems from past abuse, neglect, an accident, an illness, or any other distressing event. If you are struggling with the effects of trauma or Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), therapy can provide a path toward healing and reclaiming control over your life. In a safe, compassionate space, we will work together to process your trauma, explore your emotions, and develop coping strategies that help reduce PTSD symptoms, build resilience, and foster a sense of empowerment. Using evidence-based approaches like Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), I will help you regain a sense of peace, safety, and control. Therapy can be an essential step in your recovery, and together, we’ll create a plan tailored to your needs as you take back your life.

PTSD/Trauma
Soma Aloia, Holistic Somatic Counseling
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LCST, SE, CSC, CYT
Complex trauma and CPTSD stem from more than just events in our adult years. These are usually foundational from early developmental trauma and childhood trauma, and can be worked with and healed at any age.
Trauma is not only what happened to you. It is also how those experiences continue to live within the body and nervous system long after events have passed. Using a gentle, body-centered approach, we'll work at a pace that feels safe - restoring connection, resilience, and the freedom to live more fully in the present.
Therapy helps restore safety, connection, and the capacity to move forward without remaining organized around survival. You will learn how to reparent the little ones inside and have an easier relationship with yourself and your body.

Dr. Weston Donaldson
Psychologist, PhD, ABPP
Sometimes the past keep showing up in the present, even when you think you should be past it by now. You might be constantly on edge, struggling to trust people, avoiding reminders of something painful, or feel like you're overreacting to "small things." You might not even think of yourself as someone who's experienced trauma. You just know that something feels different, and you're tired of having to work so hard to feel okay. You don't have to prove that what happened was bad enough to deserve support. We can work at a pace that feels manageable to help you make sense of what's happening and find ways to feel more grounded in your life today.

Dayna Nelson, PsyD, LP
Psychologist, PsyD, Licensed Psychologist
EMDR therapy is an integrative psychotherapy and uses a technique called bilateral stimulation to repeatedly activate opposite sides of the brain. Dr Nelson uses EMDR to facilitate the bilateral stimulation. EMDR seems to help the brain reprocess the trapped memories is such a way that normal information processing is resumed. Dr. Nelson uses EMDR to help clients uncover and process beliefs that developed as the result of relational traumas, or childhood abuse and/or neglect
