Trauma and PTSD
Ashley Paulson
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, LIMHP, CHt
I first focus on coping and regulation strategies before processing trauma. Hypnosis, EMDR, NLP, parts work, and guided meditations can be utilized to help process and regulate the body. I aim to help clients reduce symptoms such as anxiety and hyperviligance as well as increase trust and security in self. This process can be taken very slowly or quickly depending on client preference and needs.

Trauma and PTSD
Soma Aloia, SolDance Therapy & Somatic Counseling
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LCST, CYT, OrdM
"Adverse imprinting results from any event or events that overwhelms us on a spiritual, psychological, physiological, and/or structural level. Until resolved, adverse imprinting will impact the baby, child, and adult on all levels throughout life" (Myrna Martin, et al). Behaviors arise from adverse imprinting to manage trauma, and do not come from our primary self, our original authenticity. Life becomes more and more difficult, illness arises, "flow" stops. All of our work together addresses this from a foundation of Health, and is a process of building resiliency - the nervous system's ability to handle stressful events that inevitably are part of life. A capacity that comes from our authentic nature, from more joy, heart, and presence, instead of detrimental imprints - imprints that were once necessary and helpful but now may be harmful to your life. Your work with me, or your child's, creates secure attachment and safety regardless of a turbulent world.
I also offer environmental illness/mold recovery consultations and treatment using integrative functional health & nutrition therapies. My specialty here involves Microbiome recovery and resilience.

Trauma and PTSD
Ilyssa Swartout
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Trauma can leave lasting imprints—flashbacks, anxiety, emotional numbness, or a sense of being “stuck.” Healing begins with safety and understanding. In therapy, we’ll use evidence-based trauma approaches such as EMDR, Brainspotting, and DNMS to process and release painful memories at a pace that feels right for you. Together, we’ll work toward restoring trust in yourself and the world, helping you feel more grounded, empowered, and whole.

Trauma and PTSD
Dr. Colby Cohen-Archer
Psychologist, PhD
Trauma lives in our bodies, wreaking havoc on your nervous system, emotional reactivity, and relationships. Whether your trauma comes from early childhood experiences or a traumatic childbirth experience, we can work together to help you heal. I will help you tell your story in a setting of safety. If you prefer not to rehash what happened, we can help your body and mind process the lingering emotions, body sensations, and intrusive images using an eye movement therapy called Accelerated Resolution Therapy. This helps reduce symptoms in just a few sessions, often only one session. Clients says they are surprised at the quick relief from ART. Using traditional talk therapy or ART, we can continue to process what happened and help you learn to relate to the world in a different way, or help you prepare for future situations that are similar. Many women who have experienced traumatic births find ART helpful in enabling them to decide whether to have more children from a clear mind and not from a place of fear.

Lincoln is home to the University of Nebraska and serves as Nebraska's state capital, giving it a demographic character — young, educated, and government-oriented — that generates consistent demand for therapists working with academic stress, young adult identity, and the pressures of public service careers. The city has a growing Sudanese, Somali, and Latino refugee and immigrant community that creates meaningful demand for culturally informed and multilingual therapists who work with resettlement stress and cross-cultural family dynamics. Bryan Health and CHI Health provide institutional mental health resources alongside a private practice community. Lincoln's relative affordability and tight-knit community character give it a therapy culture that values accessibility and practical, evidence-based approaches.
