PTSD/Trauma
Levana Slabodnick
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LISW-S, LCSW
Anyone who has experienced trauma knows that it isn't something you just "get over". Trauma impacts our nervous system, relationships and decision making. This is especially true for people who experienced complex or developmental trauma in their childhood through emotional, physical, sexual, spiritual or financial abuse as well as neglect. It can take decades to undo the damage done and learn what we were supposed to learn as childhood in our adulthood. The time and effort is ALWAYS worth it!

Inner World Counseling Services PLLC
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
This is the big one—your absolute core specialty. For Trauma and PTSD, we want this description to be the definitive statement of your clinical expertise. It should speak directly to the reality of living with a dysregulated nervous system, Complex PTSD (CPTSD), and the survival habits (like over-functioning and fawning) that people develop just to get through the day.
Here are a few options that firmly establish your expertise and highlight your evidence-based tools:
Option 1: Full-Spectrum & Root-Cause Focused (Recommended)
"I specialize in helping adults heal from the profound, lasting impacts of trauma, PTSD, and Complex PTSD (CPTSD). Trauma fundamentally alters how your nervous system perceives safety, often leaving you trapped in a state of high alert, struggling with intrusive thoughts, or dealing with a relentless inner critic. I look beyond surface-level symptoms to address the root causes of your distress. Utilizing gold-standard, evidence-based trauma modalities—including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)—I provide a highly specialized, structured, yet deeply compassionate space. Together, we will gently process painful past experiences, dismantle the survival habits that keep you stuck, and help your brain and body finally find a true, lasting sense of safety

PTSD/Trauma
PSYCHe, PLLC
Psychologist, PhD, DBT-LBC™, LPC, PsyD, MSW, Marriage and Family Counselor, LCSW
Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can develop from being exposed to a wide variety of traumatic events such as motor vehicle crashes, home accidents, sexual assault, domestic violence, or being involved in a natural disaster. As the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-V) describes it, PTSD happens after “being witness to or being exposed to situations involving threatened or actual serious physical harm or death.” But it’s important to keep in mind that experiencing a trauma doesn’t mean a person will absolutely develop PTSD.

Hider Shaaban
Psychologist, PsyD
Trauma is a complex subject, and it is one that is at times the foundation for other psychological difficulties. Exploring traumas and learning how to heal from them, and potentially grow from them, can help alleviate the symptoms that it is producing for you.

Developmental trauma stems from early childhood abuse from a trusted caregiver, usually repeated over time. Sensorimotor Psychotherapy and Trauma-Informed Stabilization Treatment are particularly helpful in helping clients heal from these disorders.
