PTSD/Trauma
Francis A. Bax
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MS, LMHC, LPC, CASAC-Master
Dealing with symptoms of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder can be hard on the body and can be debilitating. I teach clients the importance of self-care and explore healthier lifestyle choices. Clients learn about relaxation techniques such as sensory mindfulness and awareness and deep breathing which can activate the body's relaxation response and ease symptoms of PTSD.

Liberation Therapy
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC
Trauma lives in the body, the nervous system, and in relationships. I work from a trauma-informed, relational, and body-aware approach, helping clients understand their trauma responses, reduce triggers, and slowly build a greater sense of safety and control in their lives.

PTSD/Trauma
Jack Szary
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC-D
I work with adults who have experienced trauma or are struggling with post-traumatic stress, including those coping with past abuse, accidents, or other life-altering events. Many clients experience intrusive memories, hyperarousal, avoidance, or emotional numbness that interfere with daily life and relationships. My approach combines evidence-based trauma therapies with compassionate support, helping clients process their experiences safely, build coping skills, and gradually regain a sense of safety, control, and well-being.
