Nicole Merrigan, LPA, PLLC
Psychologist, MA, LPA
When you carry trauma or PTSD, the past doesn't stay in the past—it constantly intrudes on your present, leaving you feeling hyper-vigilant, exhausted, or disconnected from your own body. I use a combination of mindfulness and Prolonged Exposure (PE) to help you safely heal. We start with mindfulness to give you a solid anchor. With PE, we safely face the things you've had to push away, so your brain can finally digest the trauma, allowing the memories to lose their painful grip so you can move forward freely.

Lynette Cisneros
Counselor/Therapist, LCMHC, LMHC
I tend to treat clients presenting with unresolved trauma relating to emotional & psychological wounds (unrelated to sexual violence or military service related trauma). These wounds may be related to upbringing and messaging learned in childhood that was toxic & now must be unlearned in order to not be repeated and/or continue to cause internal distress, external anger, resentment, shame or self blame. Make no mistake the messaging we learn in youth, as we are essentially 'sponges' at that time is powerful & can be deeply impactful. Sometimes we must examine and deconstruct these messages to move forward with more presence.

Sarah Eisenhauer Counseling
Counselor/Therapist, LCMHC, LCPC, LPC, AADC
If you struggle with complex PTSD and/or developmental trauma, I can work with you to move past not only the symptoms you likely struggle with in every day life, but also accompany you on a path of self discovery. For most individuals who have trauma, living in survival mode means we do not get a chance to tend to our own identity and create the life that we want. I believe you can manage difficult symptoms and discover your true self, living in alignment with who you feel you truly are. I utilize behavioral techniques (CBT, DBT, ACT) as well as a depth, psychodynamic approach.

Philadelphia Couples Therapy
Psychologist, PsyD
Trauma manifests in a myriad of ways in our minds and bodies. Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can result from experiencing or witnessing a life threatening event or significant loss, whereas complex post-traumatic stress disorder (CPTSD) may result from chronic abuse, neglect or other forms of mistreatment that happened repeatedly over a period of time. These experiences of intense fear make an imprint on the nervous system, impacting our physical and emotional responses to our partners, children, families, friends, and colleagues. Often our inclination is to avoid, ignore or push through these traumas in an effort to minimize the associated pain. However these efforts are futile as unresolved traumas create invisible barriers that hinder the development of a strong sense of self and healthy relationships.
In romantic relationships, trauma can disrupt our ability to trust, to feel safe emotionally and physically, and can interfere with the enjoyment of sex and intimacy. These impacts of trauma may ebb and flow over time, intensifying during big life transitions and resurfacing as we age. Whether you are seeking individual or couples therapy, the therapists at PCT create a trauma-informed space to process trauma, understand its impacts on your relationships and build coping skills to move forward. We are patient and emphasize building a trusting relationship together. Therapists at PCT understand that healing from trauma takes time and progress may not always be linear, but that this work leads to healthier relationships and a stronger sense of self-worth.

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.
