Mountain Crest Counseling Services, LLC
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, LCSW, and Register Associates
Traumatic experiences can continue to affect you long after the event itself has passed. You may experience anxiety, intrusive memories, emotional numbness, difficulty trusting others, sleep challenges, heightened alertness, or a sense that you’re always waiting for something to go wrong. You don’t have to navigate these experiences alone. Therapy can provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space to begin understanding what you’ve been through.
Outpatient therapy can help you process the impact of trauma, recognize triggers and patterns, develop grounding and coping skills, and work toward greater emotional safety and stability. Whether you are coping with PTSD, a recent traumatic experience, or the lasting effects of past trauma, therapy can support you at a pace that respects your experiences and your readiness. Healing doesn’t mean forgetting what happened—it means building a life in which the past has less power over your present.

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.

Mensch Therapy
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LPC
Your system learned to survive: hyper-vigilance, startle, shutdown, fawn, scanning rooms, losing your words under pressure, anything that would keep you safe. Then you notice the shame that crept off after. You might have family-of-origin wounds (emotionally immature parents), medical or relationship trauma, or years of criticism that trained your body to stay on alert. First, we build safety with a warm, honest, trauma-informed relationship and somatic regulation so your body has more than fight/flight/freeze/fawn. Then we use IFS parts work to understand the protector roles (perfectionist, numbing, over-functioner) and reassign them with compassion. When appropriate, we may use gentle memory reconsolidation methods (e.g., FLASH) to help your brain update old threat responses with less distress. Aim: fewer spirals, sturdier boundaries, and feeling like your life belongs to you again.

Lesley Lacny
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.A, Psych.R, C.Psych, LPC
Trauma and PTSD can show up in many ways, including anxiety, emotional reactivity, numbness, intrusive thoughts, hypervigilance, or feeling stuck in patterns that don’t make sense. These responses are often rooted in how the nervous system has adapted to overwhelming or unsafe experiences.
I provide trauma-informed therapy to help you understand both the emotional and physiological impact of trauma. Together, we’ll explore what’s happening beneath your symptoms, including how past experiences continue to shape your present-day reactions and sense of safety.
The focus is on supporting nervous system regulation, processing underlying experiences at a pace that feels safe, and helping you rebuild a greater sense of stability, connection, and control in your life.

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.
