PTSD/Trauma
Dorothy Brown
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I believe that most people who come to therapy, have some form of trauma in their life. Often people don't recognize the " little t traumas". I also work with people who have been through traumas such as sexual abuse and assault. I am able to use EFT with clients to help to clear the trauma from their body.

Infused With Love Therapy
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MS, LMHC, KAP
Establishing safety and stabilization are two very important areas to focus on when working with trauma and PTSD. We focus on helping people to attach emotion to their experience, process their experiences and emotions, manage and cope with any symptoms and regain a sense of safety and control. For trauma, we believe at Infused With Love Therapy that utilizing many different techniques other than talk therapy is the most effective. We focus on utilizing EMDR, ketamine assisted psychotherapy and IFS to help people in their journey going from victim to SURVIVOR..

Shaelyn Cataldo
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC, PMH-C
Trauma is not simply what happened to you, but what your mind and body learned to do in order to survive. I help clients process unresolved experiences, understand their nervous system responses, and heal patterns that continue to impact their daily lives and relationships.

Erik Stenglein
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LICSW
Specialties include trauma therapy, PTSD, complex trauma, emotional regulation, post-traumatic growth, and trauma-informed care for adults.
I work with adults 18+ who have experienced trauma, including single-incident and complex or developmental trauma. Many clients come to therapy struggling with flashbacks, hypervigilance, anxiety, avoidance, or difficulty trusting themselves or others. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and trauma-informed, helping clients process traumatic experiences safely, develop coping strategies, and gradually reclaim a sense of control. Therapy is a supportive space to reduce the impact of trauma, strengthen resilience, and build a life where healing, growth, and self-understanding are possible.

Kerline Theodore
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
I specialize in working with adults experiencing trauma and PTSD, including high-functioning, high-achieving individuals who may appear “put together” on the outside but feel overwhelmed internally. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and integrate trauma-informed, attachment-focused approaches to help clients process overwhelming experiences and understand how past events impact emotions, relationships, and daily functioning.
In a safe and supportive space, we work to identify triggers, process difficult memories, and build emotional regulation and nervous system stability. My approach emphasizes self-compassion, resilience, and empowerment—helping you move out of survival mode.

Faithful Connections Christian Counseling LLC
Licensed Clinical Social Worker
Trauma can leave a lasting impact on how you think, feel, relate to others, and experience the world. You may find yourself struggling with anxiety, fear, intrusive memories, emotional numbness, irritability, difficulty trusting others, sleep problems, avoidance, or feeling constantly on guard. At Faithful Connections Christian Counseling, we provide compassionate, trauma-informed support in a safe and nonjudgmental environment where you can work through your experiences at a pace that feels appropriate for you.
Our approach focuses on helping you understand how trauma may be affecting your thoughts, emotions, relationships, and daily life while developing practical tools for emotional regulation, grounding, coping, boundaries, and rebuilding a sense of safety and confidence. We recognize that healing is not about forgetting what happened or rushing the process—it is about helping you regain a sense of control and develop healthier ways of moving forward.
For clients who desire it, Christian faith can be incorporated through prayer, Scripture, spiritual reflection, and exploration of hope, identity, forgiveness, and healing. We respect each person's unique experience and work collaboratively to identify goals that support meaningful recovery.
Your trauma does not have to define your future. With compassionate support, practical tools, and a safe space to heal, it is possible to move from simply surviving toward greater peace, strength, connection, and hope.
