PTSD/Trauma
Maria Barber
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
I take a gentle, IFS‑informed approach to trauma and PTSD, helping you understand the protective parts of you that have worked hard to keep you safe. Trauma isn’t a sign of weakness—it’s the imprint of overwhelming experiences that your system adapted to in the best way it could. In therapy, we slow down and build enough safety for those protective parts to soften so we can access the wounded, burdened places that still carry fear, shame, or overwhelm.
IFS offers a compassionate, non‑pathologizing way to work with trauma. Instead of forcing change or revisiting memories before you’re ready, we honor the internal system that developed to help you survive. As you build more connection with your Self—your calm, grounded, wise center—your parts begin to trust that healing is possible. Over time, the intensity of triggers decreases, emotional reactivity settles, and you gain more clarity and choice in how you move through the world.
Whether trauma shows up in your relationships, your nervous system, or your sense of self, I provide a steady, attuned space to help you heal at a pace that feels safe and sustainable.

Dr. Hiyaguha Cohen
Counselor/Therapist, Ph.D., LPCA, MA, MFA
EMDR has been proven effective in reducing the symptoms of PTSD. It's possible to benefit from EMDR without having to talk at length about your trauma, and without having to re-experience it mentally. With EMDR, we spend as much time replacing haunting memories with positive images as we do dismantling the effects of the trauma.

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
Sarah J Thompson
Counselor/Therapist, MEd, LPC, LCMHC
Most people will experience trauma in their lifetime whether it’s a car accident, abuse or neglect, the sudden death of a loved one, a violent criminal act, exposure to the violence of war, or a natural disaster.
While many people can recover from trauma over time with the love and support of family and friends and bounce back with resiliency, others may discover effects of lasting trauma, which can cause a person to live with deep emotional pain, fear, confusion, or post-traumatic stress far after the event has passed.
In these circumstances, the support, guidance, and assistance of a therapist is fundamental to healing from trauma.

Trauma does not have to haunt you for the rest of your life, you can heal. I use EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) as well as EFT (Emotional-Freedom Technique) to treat PTSD and trauma alongside of traditional talk therapy.
