PTSD/Trauma
Chelsie Ciminelli
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Holistic Health Practitioner
I support individuals who have experienced trauma and are living with the lasting effects of traumatic experiences, including PTSD, anxiety, hypervigilance, emotional dysregulation, dissociation, relationship difficulties, and a persistent sense of feeling unsafe. My approach recognizes that trauma is held not only in our memories and thoughts, but also within the body, nervous system, emotions, and relationships. Together, we gently explore the experiences and protective patterns that may still be influencing your life while developing greater internal safety, nervous-system regulation, self-trust, and connection with yourself. My goal is not simply to help you cope with the effects of trauma, but to support you in healing the deeper wounds and reclaiming a greater sense of wholeness, agency, and safety within yourself.

Lauren Chase
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, PhD, LCMHC, NCC, BC-TMH, PMH-C
You may look capable on the outside while carrying painful experiences that still shape how you feel and respond. Through EMDR therapy, we process trauma, reduce emotional intensity, and shift beliefs that keep you anxious, guarded, or stuck so you can feel calmer, safer, and more confident.

Heather Avery Grant
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSWA
I specialize in CPTSD from childhood and prefer working with people who are old enough/experienced enough to have had at least a couple of significant adult relationships. Once you can see your patterns, I can help you figure out what's working, what's not, and what you'd like life to feel like going forward. We can use EMDR to lessen your trauma responses and take the edge off of those childhood memories. We can use reparenting strategies to help you fill that void from all your unmet needs as a child. And if you need to make changes to your relationships with family of origin, we can do that, too. You deserve calm, peaceful, joyful days ahead. Let's get you there!

Carrie Torn
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Carrie often treats trauma using EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) as a Certified EMDR therapist. EMDR is an evidence-based practice used in psychotherapy to treat trauma and other distressing life experiences, including PTSD, anxiety, depression, and phobias. EMDR helps facilitate the brain's natural healing processes through bilateral stimulation, such as eye movements or tapping.
During a traumatic or stressful event, the brain does not process information as it normally would. When overwhelmed, information can get stuck or stored in the brain in unhelpful ways allowing past events to negatively affect you in the present. The old stored information can be triggered in the present and can cause you to have flash backs or be triggered by similar thoughts, feelings, or bodily sensations from when the trauma occurred. This can impact the way a person views the world and how they relate with others.
EMDR uses eye movements (similar to what occurs during REM sleep) to help facilitate information processing and reduce the effects of trauma and the underlying negative beliefs.

Tal Brafford
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LCMHC-A
Trauma can come from both terrible events we've lived through and experiences we missed out on. Trauma is complex. I aim to help clients have experiences that lead them back to their bodies through somatic and relational safety. Trauma work happens when you are ready and at a pace that feels safe to you.

Susanne R Mealer
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Trauma is actually a really big umbrella. Everyone experiences trauma in their life, some are severe and some are not and how they affect people will vary from person to person. Many don't even realize that they have actually experienced trauma and don't recognize how it is truly showing up in their relationships, work and life in general. Trauma and PTSD related issue can affect EVERY area of your life.
