Allison Freeman
Counselor/Therapist, LCMHCA
PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) and trauma, when unprocessed, is like a tumor. The effects of it can infiltrate one's life, causing distressing symptoms that affect mental and emotional health. My approach involves sensory grounding techniques, somatic experiencing, and an a reprocessing of old emotional learnings to address these impacts. By fostering a trusted sense of safety and grounding from the bottom up, therapy with me empowers individuals to begin to navigate their trauma, experience an alleviation of symptoms, and embark on a journey towards healing and resilience.

Carrie Torn
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Carrie often treats trauma using EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) . 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.
