PTSD/Trauma
Rising Phoenix Therapy - Dempsey Young, Psy.D.
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
Trauma is my BIGGEST specialty and have worked a lot across my entire career in this area. Trauma affects everyone differently, and I know that each person's journey through it is unique. Over the years, I’ve learned and applied a variety of proven techniques to help people in ways that feel right for them. Trauma can show up in many ways, like struggling with self-esteem, feeling shame, staying in unhealthy relationships, having trouble setting boundaries, times of dissociation, or feeling stuck in fight/flight/fawn mode. It can also lead to anxiety, depression, and nightmares. I believe that, together, we can work toward not just surviving, but truly healing and thriving on your path forward.

Tara Murphy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Trauma leaves lasting imprints on the body, mind, and relationships, and no two experiences of healing look the same. I have extensive experience working with military members, children in the foster care system facing complex trauma, and adults recovering from childhood neglect or abuse. My approach is trauma-informed and highly individualized, integrating IFS, attachment-focused therapy, mindfulness, somatic awareness, family systems, and psychodynamic work. I draw on a range of evidence-based and relational approaches to fit each client’s needs. I also collaborate closely with prescribers when helpful and provide careful diagnostic clarity to distinguish trauma from dissociative disorders, depression, or personality patterns.
