Trauma and PTSD therapists in Shelby, North Carolina NC
Molly Halbrooks
Counselor/Therapist, LMFT
I utilize EMDR (Eye-Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) and IFS (Internal Family Systems) to help you identify traumatic wounds and begin your healing journey. Trauma work is incredibly worthwhile but can be taxing, so we will move at the pace that feels safe and manageable for you. We explore the full scope of your life, as you are more than your traumatic experiences; we focus both on what has happened in the past, and how to live your life now in a way that feels fulfilled, peaceful, and balanced.

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.

Rather than limit counseling to only one approach, I offer my clients what I think is best specifically for them from a wide array of expert approaches in my marriage and other counseling. In addition to leading seminars to train other professionals in marriage counseling, I have benefited by receiving extensive professional training from most of the leading marriage counseling experts in the country, including but not limited to John Gottman, Susan Johnson, John Gray, Harville Hendrix, Virginia Satyr, Ellyn Bader and Peter Pearson, Gary Brainard, Frank Pittman, Shirley Glass, Janice Abrahms Spring, and Neil Jacobson. In conducting counseling, I am fortunate to be able to choose from numerous resources including principles from Gottman's research, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Mars & Venus Counseling, Imago Therapy, Positive Therapy, Interpersonal Therapy, Systems Therapy, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Rogerian Therapy, Integrative Therapy, Humanistic Therapy, Transactional Analysis, Reality Therapy, Rational Emotive Therapy, Gestalt Techniques, NLP, and EMDR. I also offer counseling tools that I personally developed here in Houston.

Lauren Rothstein
Psychologist, Ph.D.
In working with Trauma and PTSD, I employ a trauma-informed and patient-centered approach. This involves creating a safe therapeutic space where individuals can explore and process their traumatic experiences. Techniques such as Prolonged Exposure (PE), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Written Exposure Therapy (WET), Skills Training in Affective and Interpersonal Regulation (STAIR), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) may be used to address symptoms and promote healing. The focus is on helping individuals regain a sense of control, manage triggers, address avoidance, and work towards building a foundation for long-term recovery.
