Trauma and PTSD
Kelsey Grant
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LCMHCA
Trauma isn't just what happened — it's the parts of you that got stuck there. The part still scanning for danger. The one that shuts down when things get too close. The one that carries shame about reactions it couldn't control. I work with those parts directly using an integrated IFS and EMDR approach, so your nervous system can finally finish what it couldn't complete then.

Trauma and PTSD
Sarah J Thompson
Counselor/Therapist, MEd, LPC, LCMHC
Most people will experience trauma in their lifetime whether it’s a car accident, abuse or neglect, the sudden death of a loved one, a violent criminal act, exposure to the violence of war, or a natural disaster.
While many people can recover from trauma over time with the love and support of family and friends and bounce back with resiliency, others may discover effects of lasting trauma, which can cause a person to live with deep emotional pain, fear, confusion, or post-traumatic stress far after the event has passed.
In these circumstances, the support, guidance, and assistance of a therapist is fundamental to healing from trauma.

Trauma and PTSD
Gail Eaves

Trauma and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder is also known as PTSD and is triggered by a traumatic event directly or an individual has witnessed in person a terrifying event. Avoidance of stimuli that brings back unpleasant memories often involves a reduction in activities that once brought pleasure.

Trauma and PTSD
Carrie Torn
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Carrie often treats trauma using EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) as a Certified EMDR therapist. EMDR is an evidence-based practice used in psychotherapy to treat trauma and other distressing life experiences, including PTSD, anxiety, depression, and phobias. EMDR helps facilitate the brain's natural healing processes through bilateral stimulation, such as eye movements or tapping.
During a traumatic or stressful event, the brain does not process information as it normally would. When overwhelmed, information can get stuck or stored in the brain in unhelpful ways allowing past events to negatively affect you in the present. The old stored information can be triggered in the present and can cause you to have flash backs or be triggered by similar thoughts, feelings, or bodily sensations from when the trauma occurred. This can impact the way a person views the world and how they relate with others.
EMDR uses eye movements (similar to what occurs during REM sleep) to help facilitate information processing and reduce the effects of trauma and the underlying negative beliefs.
