Trauma and PTSD
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 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
Dr. Pascual Chen
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Trauma has a way of keeping the past alive in the present — in your body, your relationships, and your sense of safety. I am trained in EMDR, somatic approaches, and other trauma-focused modalities to help clients process what happened and move forward without being defined by it. Healing from trauma is not about forgetting — it's about integrating your story so it no longer controls you. You are not broken. You are resilient.

Trauma and PTSD
Dr. Berkeley Antonioli
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, PhD, LCSW, LCSW-C, MEd
The majority of my training and clinical work has been focused on helping adults recover from early traumatic experiences. Often, the traumas my clients are working through is rooted in early relational and/or sexual experiences that leave a lasting impact on their formative developmental years and beyond. These early experiences often result in PTSD or C-PTSD, among other challenges. Trauma can leave individuals struggling with a fractured sense of self, persistent negative self-talk, hypervigilance, difficulty in relationships, anxiety, and depression. Working to change your relationship to yourself around how you remember your traumas can lead to lasting healing and the ability to enjoy life again, or maybe enjoy it for the first time.
