Nour Counseling
Counselor/Therapist
Trauma is often misunderstood as something that’s “in the past”—but for many people, it’s still very present. It shows up in your body, your reactions, your relationships, and the way your nervous system responds to the world around you. You might feel on edge, shut down, easily overwhelmed, or like you’re constantly bracing for something. PTSD isn’t just about remembering what happened—it’s about how your system adapted to survive it. And those adaptations don’t just turn off because time has passed. For some, trauma can also show up as specific fears or phobias—intense, automatic responses that feel out of proportion but are deeply rooted in how your brain learned to stay safe.
At Nour Counseling, we don’t rush you to talk about things before you’re ready, and we don’t treat trauma like something to push through. We focus on safety first—helping you understand how your nervous system works and building your capacity to stay grounded. We offer S.A.F.E. EMDR (Somatic and Attachment-Focused EMDR), which is especially relevant for trauma because it prioritizes stabilization, pacing, and your body’s response—not just the memory itself. Trauma is stored in the nervous system, not just in thoughts, and this approach allows for processing that feels more contained, less overwhelming, and more attuned to your readiness.
Alongside this, we work with you to rebuild a sense of safety in your body, strengthen boundaries, and make sense of how trauma may still be shaping your patterns. We also name the cultural and systemic factors that impact how trauma is experienced and responded to, so you’re not carrying that context alone. This work is not about “getting over it”—it’s about helping your system feel safer, more regulated, and more able to move through life without constantly being pulled back into survival mode.

Bobby Newell
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, SEP
I specialize in working with individuals who have experienced trauma or are navigating symptoms of PTSD. Trauma can impact how you think, feel, and respond—often showing up as anxiety, emotional overwhelm, numbness, or feeling constantly on edge. Together, we focus on helping your nervous system feel safer, processing past experiences at a pace that feels manageable, and building tools to support regulation in everyday life. My approach integrates evidence-based therapies with mind-body techniques, helping you move out of survival mode and toward a place of greater stability, connection, and control.

Insight Therapeutic and Wellness Solutions, PLLC
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LCMHCS, NCC, ACS
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 posttraumatic stress far after the event has passed.
In these circumstances, the support, guidance and assistance of a therapist is fundamental to healing from trauma.
We have therapist who specialize in trauma/PTSD/CPTSD.
