Christopher McDowell, PsyD
Psychologist, PsyD
I have extensive experience treating children, adolescents, and adults for PTSD and trauma. I performed most of this work with families in the impoverished areas of Boston while I was with The Home for Little Wanderers Counseling Center. I would estimate that over 70% of my cases, during this eight-year job, were children and adolescents who were struggling with PTSD.

Barbra Rogoff
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Many believe that to experience trauma and PTSD you must have your life threatened, this is not true. A traumatic event is an incident that causes you physical, emotional, spiritual, or psychological harm, however you identify that harm. PTSD is when you experience intense, disturbing thoughts and feelings related to that trauma that lasts long after the traumatic event has ended. I provided EMDR and talk therapy to address these concerns.

Jess Clodfelter
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LCMHC, LPC, NCC, CCTP-II
Not all trauma looks like one big, obvious event. A lot of the time, it’s the repeated experiences that quietly shape how you see yourself, your relationships, and what feels safe. If you’ve ever felt like you’re constantly scanning for what could go wrong, shutting down when things get overwhelming, or stuck in relationship patterns you know aren’t working but can’t seem to break — that’s not random, and it’s not a personal failure. I specialize in working with complex PTSD (CPTSD) and attachment trauma, helping clients untangle patterns like hypervigilance, emotional shutdown, people-pleasing, and relationship cycles that keep repeating.
As a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP-II), my work is grounded in understanding how trauma lives in both the mind and body — and how to shift those patterns without shaming or overwhelming you. We go at a pace that feels manageable while still creating real change, so you’re not just understanding your patterns, you’re actually starting to move differently in your life.

PTSD/Trauma
Dr. Cierra Listermann
Psychologist, Ph.D., HSP-P
Trauma can affect the way you see yourself, relate to others, manage emotions, and experience the world around you. Whether your trauma stems from a single event or ongoing experiences, I help clients understand the lasting impact of trauma responses, process painful experiences, and challenge beliefs that may keep them feeling stuck. Therapy focuses on helping you regain a sense of safety, control, and connection with yourself.
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
PTSD can affect your thoughts, emotions, relationships, and ability to feel safe even after the traumatic experience has ended. Symptoms such as intrusive memories, avoidance, hypervigilance, guilt, shame, and emotional distress are often the brain’s attempts to protect you after trauma. I specialize in evidence-based PTSD treatment to help clients process traumatic experiences, reduce the impact of symptoms, and regain a greater sense of freedom and control.
Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (C-PTSD)
Complex trauma often develops from repeated or ongoing experiences that impact a person’s sense of safety, identity, relationships, and emotional regulation. C-PTSD can affect how you see yourself, trust others, manage emotions, and navigate relationships. I help clients understand these patterns through a trauma-informed lens, process the impact of their experiences, and develop healthier beliefs, boundaries, and coping strategies.

Dr. Yuye Zhang
Psychologist, PhD, MSW
Traumatic experiences can continue to affect how you feel, relate to others, and understand yourself long after the original evens have passed. I work with adults who are experiencing the effects of trauma, including PTSD and complex PTSD (CPTSD), in a supportive and collaborative space. Our work can focus on understanding how past experiences continue to shape the present, reducing self-blame, and developing greater flexibility, self-understanding, and connection with yourself and others.
