PTSD/Trauma
Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
For more than 33 years, I’ve worked with adults whose lives have been shaped by experiences that were overwhelming, prolonged, or carried alone for a long time. Many are thoughtful, highly responsible people who have learned to keep going, even when something inside feels stuck, numb, or on edge.
This often includes early family dynamics that were never named as “trauma,” but still live in your body and relationships. When these kinds of experiences are ongoing or rooted in early life, they are often described as complex trauma, C‑PTSD, or developmental trauma.
Difficult or frightening experiences can also arise from single incidents or periods of crisis, such as medical trauma, accidents, or other shocks. These experiences may or may not meet criteria for PTSD, but they can still leave a lasting imprint.
These experiences can influence how you understand yourself, how you move through relationships, and how your nervous system responds to daily life. You may notice changes in mood, concentration, or energy. Some people feel constantly on alert, others shut down, and many move between the two. For some, there is a clear “before and after” in their life; for others, there is a quieter sense of having experienced more than most people realize.
In our work together, we focus on building safety and softening the impact of trauma, including PTSD and C‑PTSD, on your daily life. We pay close attention to how it impacts your body, nervous system, and relationships and to the patterns and roles that once helped you cope but may now feel limiting or costly. We move at a pace that respects your capacity and what feels possible right now, with an emphasis on choice and partnership throughout the process.

PTSD/Trauma
Barry Lipscomb
Hypnotherapist, CHT
You feel defined by your past. The lingering effects of physical or emotional trauma cast a constant shadow on your daily experience. Your relationships, career and enjoyment of life are all minimized by this trauma. It seems you will always be limited by the past. Yet, you want more than this out of your life.
Using guided meditation and hypnotherapy, I help you heal your past trauma and move beyond how it limits your life experience. We work together to find a path forward, move beyond your traumatic past, and tap into your own intuition to find new more fulfilling and productive ways to be in your life.
Contact me to schedule a complimentary 15-minuyte information session to learn more about Depth Hypnosis counseling sessions and how you can move beyond the trauma of your past into a more fulfilling, productive and enjoyable experience of life.

Julien Moe
Hypnotherapist, Diploma in Clinical and Applied Hypnosis, Diploma in Life Coaching
PTSD can be effectively treated or managed using hypnotherapy, often as an adjunct to traditional therapies, as evidenced by studies indicating significant improvements in symptoms like nightmares and flashbacks. It is used to address root causes and provides controlled access to memories, lowering physiological reactivity.Key Details on Hypnotherapy for PTSD:How it Works: Hypnosis helps individuals with PTSD access a deep state of relaxation, making the subconscious more receptive to positive suggestions, which reframes the emotional response to trauma.Targeted Symptoms: Hypnotherapy can reduce PTSD-related anxiety, flashbacks, nightmares, and emotional numbing.Techniques: Approaches include clinical hypnosis, solution-focused hypnotherapy, and self-hypnosis techniques to help patients manage anxiety on their own.

PTSD/Trauma
Jill Verofsky
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.S., L.P.C., N.C.C.
Trauma occurs when an overwhelming event bypasses your normal coping mechanisms, leaving your threat response system permanently hot-wired. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) isn't "dwelling on the past"—it is a biological injury where your brain loses the ability to distinguish between a memory and an active threat.
