PTSD/Trauma
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.

I am a certified EMDR provider as well as well as a Safe and Sound Protocol and Rest and Restore Protocol provider. I have been practicing EMDR for 10+ years now and trauma and PTSD are the main reasons clients seek this type of treatment out. I have supplemented this training with extensive training in mindfulness, in polyvagal theory, in attachment dynamics in relationships, and in interpersonal therapies. Together we will discuss your particular trauma/PTSD and a path forward for healing and at a pace that works best for you.

Malama Counseling, LLC
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
Trauma and PTSD therapy is evidence-based, short-term psychotherapy designed to help patients process traumatic memories and reduce symptoms like nightmares or hypervigilance. PTSD is not curable like the flu, but it can be managed with coping skills. I use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help clients process their trauma.

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.

Salem is Oregon's state capital and has a large and established Spanish-speaking Latino population, particularly connected to the agricultural sector of the Willamette Valley, making bilingual Spanish and English therapy provision an important feature of the local mental health landscape. Oregon State Hospital, one of the state's primary psychiatric facilities, is based in Salem, and the city is a significant regional center for mental health services across the mid-Willamette Valley. Salem Health's behavioral health services contribute to a reasonably well-resourced local mental health infrastructure. Common therapy concerns include anxiety, depression, family and relationship issues, and the stresses of agricultural and service sector work, as well as the particular needs of a large immigrant and refugee population navigating life in a mid-sized state capital.
