Kari Carter
Life Coach, APSATS certified, ACC, CPC, ADOH
Betrayal Trauma cam present with symptoms similar to PTSD - intrusive thoughts, hypervigilance, emotional flooding, sleep disruption, anxiety, and difficulty feeling safe. When trust has been shattered through infidelity, sexual addiction, or chronic deception, the nervous system often remains in a prolonged state of threat response.
I specialize in trauma-informed, partner-sensitive care that focuses first on stabilization and nervous system regulation before deeper processing. My work helps clients understand their trauma responses, reduce symptom intensity, establish protective boundaries, and regain a sense of internal safety. Healing is possibly when trauma is acknowledged and treated with informed, compassionate support.

Jennifer Cain
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I specialize in trauma and PTSD (and attachment, which is often related to trauma). I can help you process through an upsetting event so that it is not so upsetting anymore. I also help you know how to handle different situations that can come up that remind you (or your child, if you are seeking to help your traumatized child) of the traumatic event, and how to handle related fears and reactions. Safety, feeling powerless, and overwhelming emotions are all addressed in a compassionate, supportive, respectful environment.

Dayton is an Ohio city with a distinctive dual identity as both a struggling post-industrial community and a city defined by innovation—the birthplace of aviation and home to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, one of the largest and most important USAF installations in the country—and this tension between decline and purpose shapes its mental health landscape in complex ways. The city was among the hardest hit by the opioid and fentanyl epidemic in the late 2010s, becoming a nationally recognized epicenter for drug-related deaths that prompted significant community response and transformed how local mental health services approach addiction and recovery. The University of Dayton and Wright State University bring student populations and academic resources, while Kettering Health and Premier Health provide behavioral health services to the broader community. Common therapy concerns include addiction and recovery, trauma (both opioid-related community grief and military trauma from the WPAFB population), anxiety, depression, and the economic stress of a city working to rebuild its identity after decades of industrial decline.
