PTSD/Trauma
Chris Chappell
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MA, MS, LMHC
Are you having disturbing flashbacks, recurring difficult memories, feeling triggered but not sure why? Have you been avoiding certain situations because they make you very uncomfortable? Would you like to not be driven by fears connected to the past? Trauma (that is, perceived life-threatening incidents) can reside in the body and the nervous system without our even being aware of it. In nature, animals experience life-threatening incidents and they shake it off, literally, by trembling, crying, or shaking. People, however, in our culture at least, are taught at a very early age that it's not OK to shake or cry - we are told to 'hold it together' or 'pull yourself up by your bootstraps' or 'don't cry'. People will often grab you and forcibly stop you from shaking, but shaking is what our animal bodies need after a life-threatening occurrence (which can include witnessing someone else's life threatened). So, because the natural relief valves are turned off, the trauma sticks in the body and may not go away for a long time. Trauma is also historical and inter-generational, passed down through families and cultures. If you come to me with trauma as an issue, we will talk about the sources if you want to, but more importantly, we will work with the nervous system and the body gently, through somatic therapy. First, helping you to feel strongly resourced in your body, and then, slowly tapping into the feelings and memories that are disturbing, and using mindful awareness to very gently allow release of the trauma. Doing this work outdoors can amplify the benefits because our nervous systems are naturally tuned by evolution not to the modern rhythms of offices, buildings, clocks, cars, and computers, but to the more gentle, slow rhythms of nature, of flowing water, of rustling leaves, of singing birds, of the wind and clouds. I can help you heal your trauma and be less afraid and anxious.

Soma Aloia, SoulWork Somatics, Somatic Counseling & Bodywork
Counselor/Therapist, MS, CCST, HE, LMT
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.

Juliana Sloane
Hypnotherapist, CHT
Hypnotherapy for trauma can be an incredible tool for healing. Whether you're grappling with the long term effects of childhood or developmental trauma, or trying to find relief after a more recent event, hypnosis offers a proven path for freedom and relief. A life with fewer triggers and more ease is possible. One of my clients recently shared with me:
"Just a couple years ago, there were so many moments with my trauma responses where I felt like “This is never going to change.” And it has completely changed. My nervous system is completely different."
It may not have been a magic bullet that fixed her in one session, but over time, as we worked on the triggers, the reactions, and the patterns locked away in the body and mind, it became more and more possible to change behaviors, feelings, thoughts, and so much more. Not only that, but we managed to have fun along the way- embracing hope, strength, joy, and laughter - all while healing trauma. This is my goal for every client I work with - to feel more free, more themselves, more able to live the life they really choose.

Britt M Berglind
Counselor/Therapist, LPCC, Ph.D
Successful treatment of trauma must include working through memories of the trauma in an experiential way after the therapist and patient have established a foundation of safety and coping skills. Psychodynamic treatment seeks to understand the context of traumatic memories using a working through process that helps the patient acquire improved self-understanding and ego strength.
