PTSD/Trauma
Michael Andrew Brennan
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Trauma can live on in the nervous system—through hypervigilance, shutdown, emotional reactivity, numbness, or disconnection. Therapy can help you process what happened and build safety within yourself and your relationships. We’ll move gently and collaboratively, with respect for your pace and your story.

Allyson Stephens
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW
Trauma, generational trauma, and PTSD can be hard issues to overcome. I am someone who has personally healed from past trauma. I can help you heal from your childhood trauma or a traumatic experience you just had. I use IFS, EMDR, Somatic Therapy, CBT, and DBT for this issue.

Shannon Kossick
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LCADC
Trauma isn't just what happened. It's what your body and nervous system have been carrying since. I use EMDR to help you process traumatic memories without having to relive them in detail, IFS to understand the protective parts that formed in response, and somatic work to help your body find safety again. Healing is possible and it starts at your pace.

PTSD/Trauma
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.

Clark Thompson, PsyD, MA
Psychologist, PsyD, MA
I offer comprehensive virtual neuropsychological assessments for individuals experiencing trauma-related symptoms, helping clients across PSYPACT states understand how traumatic experiences have impacted their cognitive and emotional functioning. My trauma and PTSD evaluations examine not only classic symptoms like intrusive memories and hypervigilance but also assess how trauma affects concentration, memory, executive functioning, and emotional regulation—providing crucial insights often missed in standard clinical interviews. With specialized training in neuropsychology and years of experience across various clinical settings, I create thorough assessment reports that validate your experiences, differentiate PTSD from other conditions, and provide clear pathways toward healing through targeted treatment recommendations and practical coping strategies.
