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.

Trauma and PTSD
Janice Cuaresma
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MA, LCMHCA, NCC
I exclusively use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) with light somatic (or body-focused) work to help individuals deal with their trauma. Unlike talk therapy, which is mind-focused, EMDR allows clients to work through their past experiences without having to share details about the stressful event and lean into the body's natural ability to heal itself. Before we discuss any difficult events, I equip you with multiple coping skills and ways to manage your mood and emotions. At the end of therapy, my clients leave their stressful events in the past and carry on with their lives in a healthy way.

Trauma and PTSD
Chuck Satterwhite
Pre-Licensed Professional, MA, MDiv
One thing that has greatly enhanced my view of therapy is training to facilitate trauma healing groups. Part of our work together will include developing tools to use in moments when PTSD makes its appearance. We will move at a speed you are comfortable with to process your story and change your narrative moving forward.
