PTSD/Trauma
Rising Phoenix Therapy - 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.

PTSD/Trauma
Carey Luker
Licensed Professional Counselor, LMHC, LPC
If you’ve been through painful, overwhelming, or traumatic experiences, it can sometimes feel like your mind and body are still carrying the weight of them long after they’ve happened. Trauma can show up in many ways—anxiety, emotional numbness, overthinking, difficulty trusting others, feeling constantly on edge, people-pleasing, panic, nightmares, or feeling disconnected from yourself. You may find yourself trying to hold everything together on the outside while feeling exhausted internally. In therapy, my goal is to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you don’t have to carry those experiences alone. Together, we’ll move at your pace, focusing on helping you feel more grounded, understood, emotionally safe, and better able to reconnect with yourself and your life.

PTSD/Trauma
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.
