Gary D. Alexander
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS, MFT, NCC
Trauma can leave deep emotional and physiological imprints, often appearing as anxiety, intrusive memories, emotional numbness, or a persistent sense of being on guard. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is commonly associated with a single overwhelming event such as an accident, assault, or other life-threatening experience. Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (CPTSD), by contrast, often develops through repeated or long-term relational trauma—such as chronic emotional abuse, neglect, or unstable early environments—and can profoundly affect a person’s sense of identity, emotional regulation, and ability to feel safe in relationships.
In therapy we explore both the impact of these experiences and the ways the mind and body have learned to adapt in order to survive them. Rather than viewing trauma responses simply as symptoms to eliminate, our work approaches them as meaningful signals about what you have endured and how your nervous system has tried to protect you. As understanding deepens within the safety of the therapeutic relationship, many people begin to experience greater stability, renewed self-trust, and a gradual return of vitality in their lives.

Brian Jones
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MEd, LMHC, LPC
I specifically focus on people with religious trauma. You might not have thought about your trauma as religious. But did you have a tough time growing up in a strict church environment? So did I. Maybe you didn't even realize the effect it had on you until much later in life.
I use Internal Family Systems therapy, which is an approach used specifically for trauma. However, it is not a PTSD approach. If you suffer from severe PTSD symptoms, I'm probably not the right fit for you. If you're not sure, schedule a free consultation. I can provide you with referrals to PTSD specialists if we decide that's appropriate.

Christo Brehm
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, SEP
I specialize in trauma and PTSD using Somatic Experiencing (SEP) and Trauma-Informed CBT in a tri-phase approach: stabilization, processing, and integration. These gentle, body-centered methods help release stuck fight/flight/freeze responses, process overwhelming experiences at a safe pace through titration and pendulation, and restore a felt sense of safety, resilience, and presence. Highly effective for anxiety, irritability, dissociation, emotional overwhelm, or lingering effects of past stress and trauma.

Victoria Miller
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
CPT helps people recognize how trauma has changed their view about themselves, others, and the world. CPT teaches people to recognize the negative thoughts that are created by the trauma. These thoughts are called "stuck points" in CPT because they keep people stuck and get in the way of recovery from PTSD (from the National Center for PTSD (.gov))

Peaceful Warrior Wellness Services, LLC / Dr.Steven Ruiz Bettencourt, Psy.D.,LPC, Cht, EMDR
Licensed Professional Counselor, Doctor of Psychology, Licensed Psychotherapist, Certified Hypnotherapist, EMDR
Trauma and PTSD usually go hand in hand. Negative emotionally charged experiences may be remain unresolved from early childhood or experienced as adults in extreme stress filled experiences such as combat, domestic violence or other traumatic situations. Unresolved trauma gets stored in the body, many times creating somatic/physical disorders if not treated. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) is a world wide treatment modality that searches for the somatic bridges that connect these traumas.
