Trauma and PTSD therapists in Oak Ridge, North Carolina NC
Jonathan Schmalz
Psychologist, PhD, HSP-P
A trauma-informed approach underlies all of my work as a therapist. I know that many clients come to therapy not specifically because of trauma, but because they feel lonely or inadequate, they are depressed or anxious, or just cannot seem to have the intimacy they crave. Sometimes acknowledging trauma comes later in the therapy work and that is okay. Just know that I trust that you will talk about it when you are ready.
I would like to join you in acknowledging how the past has affected your present and in charting a course to healing that works for you. You may wish to talk about particular pains from the past and you may wish to focus on the future. We will work together to find the balance that is right for you, so that you can live the life that you really want to live.

Trauma and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder is also known as PTSD and is triggered by a traumatic event directly or an individual has witnessed in person a terrifying event. Avoidance of stimuli that brings back unpleasant memories often involves a reduction in activities that once brought pleasure.

Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LCMHC, 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.
