JAMES COLVIN
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, M.DIV.
Internal Family Systems is an effective tool in healing trauma. I work with clients to identify their protective parts that have tried for decades in many instances to protect the wounded parts but have not healed them because they cannot. It takes the real Self to create a healing process that works. It may also take ketamine or other medication as well as energy work to heal trauma. In addition developing a spiritual connection to God and the Universe can boost healing as well(even if the tauma may have had religious roots.) The foundation of healing is a solid and trusting relationship between client and gtherapist.

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.

Dr. Brian M. Berman
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I specialize in the treatment of trauma and posttraumatic stress disorder. Experiencing any trauma can negatively impact quality and leave a person feeling disconnected. By utilizing evidence-based treatments such as prolonged exposure therapy (PE), I will teach you to better manage intrusive trauma memories so you can start living life again.

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.
