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.

Shannon Gorres
Life Coach, MDiv, MA
My understanding of trauma has shifted along with international research on why some events create lasting challenging effects for some people but not for others. Our collective awareness has gone from thinking, “What's wrong with you?” to asking, “What happened to you?” and now focusing on, “Who was there for you?”
A simple retelling of a traumatic experience does not always deeply heal the one who suffers. While it can feel good to be truly heard, especially for those who have never told it before and need real empathy, repeatedly telling the story does not often change the subconscious beliefs implanted during the trauma or the nervous system’s reactivity.
Instead, we build a new relationship with a traumatic experience by re-approaching the memory and inviting a shift. Often the shift is around “Who could have been there for you.” While in factual reality, no one may have stopped the trauma, we can access another perspective that enables our bodies, hearts, and minds to feel supported. We can do this many ways: through role play, through calling in ancestors or pop stars or our highest selves, or by letting our wise adult-self take over the situation. Or we may use drawing materials or nature to discover a new part of the experience we didn’t realize before.
I've taken many trainings in the origins and effects of trauma and PTSD, and I find working with the nervous system and imaginal realm (creative liminal space) highly effective. I'm not a licensed mental health therapist; I'm a spiritual life coach, so my work is integrative. I offer: calm spaciousness & empathy as you talk, embodied processing options (drawing, clay work, self soothing), and inner parts work (mediated inner dialogue or a “committee of voices,” similar to Soulwork or Internal Family Systems).
Then we make a plan to implement the new shift into everyday life.

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.
