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.

Trauma is our top focus. We know you are stuck with a 200 lb pole that you never consented to carry. We will work on chiseling tools out of that weight and lifting the load.

Stephanie Miodus
Psychologist, PhD, NCSP
I have extensive experience conducting therapy and assessments for children, teens, and adults affected by trauma, including those involved in foster care and adoption, survivors of childhood sexual abuse, bullying, chronic health conditions, and interactions with the justice system. My training includes trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT), and I have delivered cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) for PTSD to trauma-impacted college students as part of a federally funded clinical treatment study. My work also focuses on tailoring trauma therapy to meet the needs of autistic individuals, a topic I have presented on at the Philadelphia Trauma Training Conference. Further, I have presented at The American Professional Society on the Abuse of Children Colloquiums. I have also published peer-reviewed research on trauma and PTSD and their relationship to ADHD.

PTSD/Trauma
Dr. Amanda Malak
Psychologist, Clinical Psychologist
I specialize in helping individuals who have experienced trauma or are dealing with PTSD. My approach includes trauma-informed therapies like CPT, PE, somatic experiencing, and other techniques designed to help clients process and heal from their traumatic experiences. I work with clients to address symptoms like flashbacks, anxiety, and avoidance, and to help them regain a sense of safety, control, and empowerment. My goal is to create a supportive environment where clients can work through their trauma at their own pace, build resilience, and ultimately move toward healing and recovery. Referrals to EMDR or medication management are offered when appropriate.

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.
