Philadelphia Couples Therapy
Psychologist, PsyD
Trauma manifests in a myriad of ways in our minds and bodies. Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can result from experiencing or witnessing a life threatening event or significant loss, whereas complex post-traumatic stress disorder (CPTSD) may result from chronic abuse, neglect or other forms of mistreatment that happened repeatedly over a period of time. These experiences of intense fear make an imprint on the nervous system, impacting our physical and emotional responses to our partners, children, families, friends, and colleagues. Often our inclination is to avoid, ignore or push through these traumas in an effort to minimize the associated pain. However these efforts are futile as unresolved traumas create invisible barriers that hinder the development of a strong sense of self and healthy relationships.
In romantic relationships, trauma can disrupt our ability to trust, to feel safe emotionally and physically, and can interfere with the enjoyment of sex and intimacy. These impacts of trauma may ebb and flow over time, intensifying during big life transitions and resurfacing as we age. Whether you are seeking individual or couples therapy, the therapists at PCT create a trauma-informed space to process trauma, understand its impacts on your relationships and build coping skills to move forward. We are patient and emphasize building a trusting relationship together. Therapists at PCT understand that healing from trauma takes time and progress may not always be linear, but that this work leads to healthier relationships and a stronger sense of self-worth.

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.

Shira Collings
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
Many people seeking counseling for mental health issues have experienced trauma. I feel that it is very important to acknowledge the wide variety of difficult experiences that can have the impact of trauma. Trauma can be caused by not only physical and sexual violence but also emotional abuse, bullying, oppression/discrimination, body shaming, microaggressions, religious and spiritual abuse, and more. Some of the approaches I use to treat trauma include Cognitive Processing Therapy and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

Danielle Farabaugh
Psychologist, Psy.D.
My approach to treating trauma and PTSD is grounded in evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and trauma-focused interventions, including Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) and Prolonged Exposure (PE). I provide a safe and supportive environment where clients can process traumatic experiences at their own pace while learning skills to reduce distress and re-establish a sense of safety and control. Through structured, collaborative work, clients learn to reframe unhelpful beliefs, manage triggers, and build resilience, promoting healing and recovery from the impact of trauma.

Luke Colbourn
Counselor/Therapist, Licensed Professional Counselor
Trauma can be one event (Trauma) or many smaller events (traumas). It can show up as issues with mood, sleep, relationships, and much more. We each experience and respond to traumas in unique ways. My approach to working with trauma is informed by the lessons from EMDR, somatic experiencing, and mindfulness practices. What's important is working at a pace that meets you where you are at.
