Trauma and PTSD
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.

Trauma and PTSD
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.

Trauma and PTSD
Jess Clodfelter
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LCMHC, LPC, NCC, CCTP-II
Not all trauma looks like one big, obvious event. A lot of the time, it’s the repeated experiences that quietly shape how you see yourself, your relationships, and what feels safe. If you’ve ever felt like you’re constantly scanning for what could go wrong, shutting down when things get overwhelming, or stuck in relationship patterns you know aren’t working but can’t seem to break — that’s not random, and it’s not a personal failure. I specialize in working with complex PTSD (CPTSD) and attachment trauma, helping clients untangle patterns like hypervigilance, emotional shutdown, people-pleasing, and relationship cycles that keep repeating.
As a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP-II), my work is grounded in understanding how trauma lives in both the mind and body — and how to shift those patterns without shaming or overwhelming you. We go at a pace that feels manageable while still creating real change, so you’re not just understanding your patterns, you’re actually starting to move differently in your life.

Trauma and PTSD
Lynette Cisneros
Counselor/Therapist, LCMHC, LMHC
I tend to treat clients presenting with unresolved trauma relating to emotional & psychological wounds (unrelated to sexual violence or military service related trauma). These wounds may be related to upbringing and messaging learned in childhood that was toxic & now must be unlearned in order to not be repeated and/or continue to cause internal distress, external anger, resentment, shame or self blame. Make no mistake the messaging we learn in youth, as we are essentially 'sponges' at that time is powerful & can be deeply impactful. Sometimes we must examine and deconstruct these messages to move forward with more presence.

Grace in the Shadows
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, MDiv, MA, NCMHC, ALMHC, VALMHC, SCMHC, FLMHC, KYMHC, IDMHC
I address trauma and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) with a compassionate and faith-centered approach, integrating psychological expertise with Christian principles to guide individuals toward healing and restoration. Recognizing the profound impact of trauma on the mind, emotions, and spirit, I create a safe and supportive environment that incorporates prayer, scriptural reflection, and discussions on God's healing power. Drawing upon biblical teachings of comfort, resilience, and restoration, the counselor collaborates with individuals to navigate the effects of trauma and develop coping strategies. Encouraging a reliance on God's strength and the transformative power of faith, the counselor assists individuals in processing and overcoming traumatic experiences while fostering a sense of safety and trust in their Christian beliefs. This integrated approach aims to support individuals in their journey toward emotional healing, resilience, and spiritual renewal within the context of Christian values.
