PTSD/Trauma
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.

Abelee Groff
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
I work with adults experiencing trauma and PTSD, helping clients process overwhelming experiences and understand how past events may affect their emotions, relationships, and daily functioning. I provide a safe, supportive space to explore triggers, navigate difficult memories, and build resilience.
I integrate trauma-informed, somatic, and parts-based approaches, as well as attachment-focused strategies, to support emotional regulation, nervous system stabilization, and self-compassion. Therapy emphasizes empowerment, safety, and gradual healing, helping clients reclaim a sense of control, stability, and connection with themselves and others.

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, EMDRIA Certified Therapist™
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.

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.
