Trauma and PTSD therapists in Waterville, Ohio OH
Kristin Harris
Psychologist, PhD
If trauma has left you feeling overwhelmed and stuck in distressing memories, know that healing is possible, and you don't have to face it alone. As a psychologist specializing in trauma and PTSD treatment, I offer a compassionate and supportive space where we can work together to process and overcome the effects of your experiences. Utilizing a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) approach alongside Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), I provide evidence-based techniques tailored to your needs. With EMDR, we'll tap into your brain's natural healing mechanisms to reprocess traumatic memories, reducing their emotional charge and empowering you to move forward with resilience. Whether you're struggling with flashbacks, nightmares, or hypervigilance, I'm here to offer guidance, support, and a pathway towards healing. Take the first step towards reclaiming your life from the grip of trauma by reaching out today.

Ken Knoechel - Effective Mindset
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
Do you feel scared all the time? Do you feel like fear from past experiences control your what you do and say? PTSD conditions you to always be on the lookout for danger! Even if you’re consciously telling yourself, “HEY NOW, RELAX, THERE IS NOTHING TO FEAR HERE,” your subconscious mind retorts, “Hell no! You need to make sure what happened before doesn’t happen ever again!” I will help you learn to control how you respond physically and emotionally to people, places, and things that trigger escalated emotions. It usually takes me about a month (4 sessions) to bring my clients to places that resolve resilience in their lives. You can expect good things after meeting with me for a while. I hope to see you soon.

Jennifer Plumb Vilardaga, PhD
Psychologist, PhD
Humans have a great capacity to survive some of the most horrendous and painful things possible; yet they do take their toll even months or years down the line. Carrying the burden of trauma and PTSD can be heavy, and one that you do not have to do alone. I bring specialized skills and training to help you carry that burden, and begin to learn skills that can serve you now (but probably were not available to you in the past) to help you live more freely. I work from a trauma-informed place with anyone seeking care for these issues. I also bring my expertise having spent years working with military veterans and many others using powerful tools such as Prolonged Exposure therapy to help you live with intention, purpose, and dignity.

Norma J. Perez
Psychologist, PhD
I have been working with individuals who have trauma and PTSD for over 20 years. For many years this was my main focus and as a evidence-based therapist I learned many different ways of treatment and developed a hybrid approach that I taught to other therapist for years. I start by helping you reduce your symptoms, then if your willing we re-process your trauma and help you look at it in a different way by identifying what is your "stuck point" and working to move that along. That in itself can also reduce remaining symptoms. With what is left, I help you move forward with your remaining symptoms and do what make you happy, despite of your symptoms. It may make you anxious to do something but at the end of the day, the joy you felt makes it worth it. Again, remember, you would be doing this with much less anxiety than when you started therapy. This a is a proven approach that has worked with so many individuals with trauma.
