Philadelphia Art Therapy Associates
Art Therapist, MA, ATR-BC, LPC
Our therapists have extensive experience treating individuals who experienced various forms of trauma. Our work is trauma informed, and the first and most important job is creating physical and emotional safety. We are sensitive to the multilayered traumas experienced by clients with complex social and economic stressors. Because our therapists began their careers working in child welfare agencies and community mental health, we are comfortable working with complicated and intense situations, and can help you move through yours. Art making is a wonderful way to create safety, learn to self-soothe, re-work trauma, safely do exposures through re-telling, and heal.

Trauma and PTSD
Hider Shaaban
Psychologist, PsyD
Trauma is a complex subject, and it is one that is at times the foundation for other psychological difficulties. Exploring traumas and learning how to heal from them, and potentially grow from them, can help alleviate the symptoms that it is producing for you.

Trauma and PTSD
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.

Trauma and PTSD
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.

Trauma and PTSD
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.

Trauma and PTSD
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.

Trauma and PTSD
Jason Hutchings
Psychologist, PsyD
Whether you have experienced a trauma or feeling the trauma of every day life, we can work to understand what the event meant and how it has imprinted in your psyche. This can free up a lot of energy that has become trapped in being hyper vigilant, irritable, angry, fearful and depressed.

Trauma and PTSD
Dan Walinsky
Psychologist, PhD
I've found that the range of traumas that people experience disrupts our experience of day-to-day life and relationships in so many ways. So many people who've experienced patterns of traumatizing, persistently invalidating, or minimizing experiences have found coping strategies to manage the profound impacts of trauma but eventually find that those strategies no longer work. Together, we will look at the impact of traumas and using a range of practices, which potentially include EMDR, internal parts work, and polyvagal theory, we will work to supportively rebuild a sense of self-guided trust in the world.

I see entering therapy as sacred work. I view relationships as our biggest vehicles of growth in life and believe every relationship has something that can be learned from it to help us embrace more of who we really are. I specialize in individual, couple and sex therapy, as well as trauma.
