Dr. Kimberly E. Johnson
Psychologist, PsyD, HSPP, APIT
I have worked with clients who have been traumatized as a child, teenager, adult or older adult. Trauma can occur due to emotional, physical, sexual or psychological assault. Everyone experiences and manages their trauma exposure in their own unique way. Sometimes we are not even aware of events that have happened to us or have spent a lifetime trying not to remember. Regardless, that experience can impact how we think about and treat ourselves and others. Depending on the severity and duration of that trauma, it is not uncommon for it to affect our ability to work, parent, maintain relationships, function and even tolerate being around others. I work with clients who have experienced physical and psychological abuse, sexual abuse or exploitation, combat or military trauma, racism, discrimination and marginalization, sexism and violence. Everyone's story is unique and I work to help that individual process those experiences at a pace that they can manage to reclaim the life they deserve.

Michael Bernstein
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Trauma and PTSD can leave you feeling trapped by the past, often manifesting as hypervigilance, intrusive memories, or a sense of emotional numbness. My approach focuses on creating a safe environment to process these experiences and reduce their power over your daily life. By utilizing evidence-based modalities like EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), we work together to de-sensitize traumatic triggers and integrate difficult memories. This process helps you move from a state of survival and "stuckness" toward a place of resilience, allowing you to reclaim your sense of safety and agency in the world.
