PTSD/Trauma
Shannon Mick
Counselor/Therapist, NCC, LPC
Trauma can leave lasting imprints—making you feel jumpy and on high alert (hyperarousal), numb or disconnected (hypoarousal), or like you’re no longer yourself. For endurance athletes, this might show up as hypervigilance on trails, difficulty recovering from injuries or setbacks, emotional overwhelm during hard efforts, or old memories that intrude when you’re trying to push forward. Whether the trauma is recent or from years ago, it can steal safety, trust, and joy from both running and everyday life.
In our work together, we create a safe, paced space to process what happened without becoming overwhelmed. Using CBT to reframe trauma-related thoughts, DBT skills for distress tolerance and emotion regulation, ACT to rebuild a meaningful life, and movement-informed approaches to regulate your nervous system, we focus on gentle, body-based tools that help you feel grounded and in control again.
Many clients experience meaningful healing such as:
Reduced hypervigilance and fewer intrusive memories or flashbacks.
Better nervous system regulation—shifting out of fight/flight/freeze more easily.
Renewed ability to feel safe and present during runs and in daily life.
Stronger self-trust and confidence after setbacks (injury, DNFs, or life challenges).
Feeling more like themselves—calmer, more connected, and hopeful.
I share practical resources like Distress Tolerance Coping Skills (DBT) and nervous system regulation strategies that we can personalize and practice between sessions.
Healing from trauma is courageous work, and you don’t have to do it alone. You can process the past, regulate your body and mind, and move forward with greater strength and freedom—on the trails and in life. Together, we’ll help you finish stronger.

PTSD/Trauma
Jonathan Schmalz
Psychologist, PhD, HSP-P
A trauma-informed approach underlies all of my work as a therapist. I know that many clients come to therapy not specifically because of trauma, but because they feel lonely or inadequate, they are depressed or anxious, or just cannot seem to have the intimacy they crave. Sometimes acknowledging trauma comes later in the therapy work and that is okay. Just know that I trust that you will talk about it when you are ready.
I would like to join you in acknowledging how the past has affected your present and in charting a course to healing that works for you. You may wish to talk about particular pains from the past and you may wish to focus on the future. We will work together to find the balance that is right for you, so that you can live the life that you really want to live.

PTSD/Trauma
Peter D. Ruffini, Sex & Porn Addiction Expert
Licensed Professional Counselor, EdS, MA, LPC, LPCMH, ACS, EMDRPT-II, CSAT-C
I specialize in trauma and PTSD using evidence-based treatments including EMDR, Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and Prolonged Exposure (PE). Trauma often drives anxiety, anger, compulsive behavior, and emotional shutdown without being obvious. Treatment is structured and intentional, aimed at resolving trauma responses rather than managing symptoms indefinitely.
