Trauma and PTSD
Shauna Rychcik
Therapist, LMSW
Living with PTSD can feel like you're trapped in a cycle of fear and distress, often haunted by memories of a traumatic experience. You might find yourself reliving those moments through flashbacks, feeling anxious or on edge, and struggling with overwhelming emotions that seem impossible to manage. I want you to know that you’re not alone, and together we can work towards healing.
In our sessions, we’ll use client-focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which is a compassionate and effective approach to addressing trauma and PTSD. This therapy creates a safe and empathetic environment where you can explore your experiences, thoughts, and emotions at your own pace.
By prioritizing your unique narrative, we’ll work together to help you process your trauma in a way that fosters empowerment and control. We’ll integrate cognitive restructuring techniques to challenge and reframe any unhelpful beliefs related to the trauma while introducing coping strategies to help manage anxiety and intrusive thoughts.
Through gradual exposure and supportive guidance, you can begin to heal, build resilience, and reclaim your life from the impacts of trauma. My goal is to help you find a renewed sense of hope and well-being as we navigate this journey together. I'm here to support you every step of the way.

Trauma and PTSD
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.

Trauma and PTSD
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.
