Dr. Megie Shean
Psychologist, PsyD
I have spent my career supporting those after trauma - including combat Veterans, sexual assault survivors, and women following birth trauma. I understand trauma's impact on your ability to engage in life and work to TREAT trauma, which is possible. You can get back to trusting others, feeling safe in your world, making decisions, and engaging fully in your days.

Owelleth Mental Health
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, MedFT
I specialize in working with trauma using evidence-based, trauma-informed approaches including EMDR and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). I support clients healing from a wide range of traumatic experiences, including childhood abuse or neglect, relational and attachment trauma, domestic and emotional abuse, sexual trauma, medical trauma, immigration-related stress and persecution, complex trauma, and single-incident events. My approach prioritizes safety, stabilization, and empowerment, helping clients process traumatic memories, reduce distressing symptoms, and reconnect with a sense of control, resilience, and self-trust.

PTSD/Trauma
Dr. Meghan Miller
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
Trauma can impact the nervous system long after the event has passed, affecting relationships, work performance, emotional regulation, and your sense of safety. You may notice heightened anxiety, emotional numbness, difficulty trusting others, or feeling stuck in patterns that don’t make logical sense. In therapy, I take a structured, evidence-based approach grounded in CBT and trauma-informed care to help you process painful experiences safely and at your own pace. Our work focuses on restoring a sense of control, strengthening coping skills, and helping your mind and body move from survival mode toward greater stability and integration.

PTSD/Trauma
Dr. Colby Cohen-Archer
Psychologist, PhD
Trauma lives in our bodies, wreaking havoc on your nervous system, emotional reactivity, and relationships. Whether your trauma comes from early childhood experiences or a traumatic childbirth experience, we can work together to help you heal. I will help you tell your story in a setting of safety. If you prefer not to rehash what happened, we can help your body and mind process the lingering emotions, body sensations, and intrusive images using an eye movement therapy called Accelerated Resolution Therapy. This helps reduce symptoms in just a few sessions, often only one session. Clients says they are surprised at the quick relief from ART. Using traditional talk therapy or ART, we can continue to process what happened and help you learn to relate to the world in a different way, or help you prepare for future situations that are similar. Many women who have experienced traumatic births find ART helpful in enabling them to decide whether to have more children from a clear mind and not from a place of fear.
