Trauma and PTSD
Paulina Mendez
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSWA, LCASA
Trauma can shape how safe it feels to be in your body, in relationships, and in the present moment. My approach to trauma therapy emphasizes pacing and containment, creating enough steadiness so your system doesn’t have to stay on guard. We focus first on building safety and support, allowing healing to unfold within a relationship that honors your limits, timing, and resilience.

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
Janice Cuaresma
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MA, LCMHCA, NCC
I exclusively use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) with light somatic (or body-focused) work to help individuals deal with their trauma. Unlike talk therapy, which is mind-focused, EMDR allows clients to work through their past experiences without having to share details about the stressful event and lean into the body's natural ability to heal itself. Before we discuss any difficult events, I equip you with multiple coping skills and ways to manage your mood and emotions. At the end of therapy, my clients leave their stressful events in the past and carry on with their lives in a healthy way.
