PTSD/Trauma
Olena Miller
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LPCC, LMHC, LPC, LCMHC
Trauma can continue to affect you long after the experience itself is over. You may find yourself feeling stuck, on edge, disconnected, or struggling with patterns that seem difficult to change. I specialize in working with trauma and PTSD and have been trained in EMDR since 2018. I use EMDR frequently because I’ve seen how effective it can be in helping clients process difficult experiences and reduce the impact they continue to have on their lives. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space to work through these experiences at a pace that feels manageable for you.

PTSD/Trauma
Ross Kellogg, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Individual, Marriage, and Family Therapist (LMFT)
Single event trauma and long-term developmental trauma in childhood can each be overwhelming experiences that bring about an overwhelming set of symptoms that often end in a lot of isolation for the traumatized person. Therapy can help you re-engage with people and life again. A multi modality approach including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy couples with Object Relations Therapy and Internal Family Systems Therapy can often be an effective method for managing symptoms, getting back to feeling good, and accepting the full impact and meaning of the traumatic event(s).

PTSD/Trauma
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.
