Kourtney Bennett
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Trauma can shape how you see yourself, relate to others, and experience safety in the world. I work with adults navigating complex, developmental, relational, medical, racial, and other forms of trauma. My trauma-informed approach helps clients better understand adaptive survival responses, strengthen emotional resilience, and move toward healing at a pace that feels safe and collaborative.

Vanessa Roddenberry
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I'm a trauma specialist, highly trained in providing cutting-edge evidence-based treatment for trauma and PTSD. Know that your trauma is valid. I operate from a trauma-informed perspective so that we ask the very important question of "what happened" and can place your current problems within this very important context. An event may be traumatic for many different reasons. Some traumas may be overt, while others may be subtle and happen over a long time. All that matters is that if something is traumatic to you, we will honor it as such and work to understand and heal its effects. I help clients process difficult life events safely and compassionately, while also fostering resilience and posttraumatic growth. I use gold standard PTSD treatments of Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) or Prolonged Exposure Therapy (PE), as well as trauma-informed Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and compassion-focused work. I have worked with many different forms of trauma and in various settings such as the Veterans Affairs Hospital system and outpatient settings.

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.

PTSD/Trauma
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.

Claire Robinson-Scalzi
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LCMHCA, NCC
Whether recent, ongoing, or long past, our brains hold onto trauma to prevent the same thing from happening again. This means your traumatic memories might pop up with even the littlest reminders or maybe you don't even know why it keeps interrupting your days. I am here to support you through the symptoms and memories of your traumatic experiences so you can leave them behind in the past where they belong.
