Trauma and PTSD
Kelli Hall
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Trauma is relative to the individual. Many clients come in not even realizing that what they’re experiencing is connected to earlier wounding—and that awareness alone can be a powerful starting point.
I work with both what is often referred to as “little t” trauma—ongoing relational wounding—and “Big T” trauma, such as abuse, neglect, loss, or other significant life events. Whether these experiences are obvious or more subtle, they can shape how you see yourself, relate to others, and respond to stress.
Many of the challenges clients face—such as difficulty setting boundaries, emotional overwhelm, or feeling stuck in patterns that don’t seem to change—are often rooted in these earlier experiences.
Our work focuses on helping you understand these patterns with greater clarity while also developing the ability to regulate your nervous system. I incorporate both insight-based and somatic approaches to support you in creating new, more grounded and adaptive ways of responding.
The goal is not just to cope—but to move toward a greater sense of freedom, stability, and self-trust.

Trauma and PTSD
Nicole Merrigan, LPA, PLLC
Psychologist, MA, LPA
When you carry trauma or PTSD, the past doesn't stay in the past—it constantly intrudes on your present, leaving you feeling hyper-vigilant, exhausted, or disconnected from your own body. I use a combination of mindfulness and Prolonged Exposure (PE) to help you safely heal. We start with mindfulness to give you a solid anchor. With PE, we safely face the things you've had to push away, so your brain can finally digest the trauma, allowing the memories to lose their painful grip so you can move forward freely.

My approach to trauma and PTSD therapy emphasizes healing from past experiences and regaining a sense of control over one’s life, using trauma-informed care and evidence-based techniques that address the root causes of distress.
