Trauma and PTSD
April Tettemer
Art Therapist, LCAT
A lot of painful psychological symptoms and emotions are rooted in trauma. I have experience working with client's who suffer from CPTSD/PTSD in varying presentations. I have worked with veterans, survivors of sexual assault, survivors of childhood abuse/ neglect, amongst other types of trauma. Art Therapy is a great modality to help access subconscious material and let feelings come to the surface to process and pass. Art can be a great holding space and way to externalize pain you have been holding and I create a safe space to process.

Happy Apple - Center for Anxiety, Depression, & Couples
Counselor/Therapist, LMFT, LCSW, PhD, LMHC
Trauma refers to a set of distressing emotional and physiological responses to a terrible event or a chronic stressor, such as an unengaged or highly critical parent. Traumatic symptoms range from acute, such as flashback or night sweats, to mild, including avoidance and headaches. Many people suffer from trauma without realizing it. Some of the less obvious signs of trauma include depression, hyperarousal, avoidance, excess fear, headaches, insomnia, and drug or alcohol abuse. We often employ CBT and EMDR in our sessions with trauma suffers, both of which have been well-proven to be effective in the treatment of trauma.

Being Health
Treatment Center
We’ve all experienced distressing events in life that are traumatic in some way. Feeling stressed or upset during these times is a normal and appropriate response. However, if our response to a traumatic event lasts too long and impacts our functioning or quality of life, then treatment can be helpful.

Rebecca, Mitchell
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, MSEd, SIFI
Often, depression, sadness, anxiety, substance use and other avoidant strategies (e.g. overworking, gambling, food, and sex addictions), insomnia, conflict in relationships, isolation, and increased feelings of anger, agitation, impulsivity, and decreased self-esteem go unrecognized as symptoms of a trauma or stress related disorder, the most common of which is Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). If you experience some of these symptoms, you may be experiencing PTSD.
Stressful and traumatic experiences in both childhood and adulthood can create significant changes in your brain keeping you frozen in a state of "fight or flight", making it difficult to find meaning and purpose in the present. Psychotherapy offers a unique opportunity to explore traumatic experiences so that they can be turned into memories containing wisdom and insight.
Today, there are a host of evidence based practices, that have been well researched and demonstrated to be effective in alleviating symptoms so that you can recover a sense of wholeness and wellbeing.
I am certified in two evidenced based practices for PTSD: Cognitive Processing Therapy(CPT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR). Additionally, I am trained in mindfulness based practices and am informed by Schema Therapy, and Internal Family Systems amongst others. However, I believe that the most important element in any therapeutic relationship, is the relationship itself. I strive to nurture relationships with clients that are compassionate, kind, and non-judgmental, yet safe enough to tolerate direct but gentle confrontation. Together we will determine the approach and pace that will work best for you.

Whether you seek to overcome a specific trauma or to break a chronic life pattern, to work toward achieving your purpose, I will meet you where you are at. Trauma has entered my work quite assertively over the past decade & I‘m always grateful & privileged to help support & bring more peace of mind to those suffering with PTSD as a consequence of trauma. We will work on the tools I’ve discovered through experience but more importantly we will invent tools together to weaken the grip of trauma & PTSD—as much as we can, to kick them to the curb.
