Trauma and PTSD
Tessa Trask | Full Circle Wellness
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
I like to tell my clients that "trauma" is anything that's really, really scary or stressful that happens to us (or that we witness) in our lives. From child abuse and sexual assault, to military combat and natural disasters, trauma covers a whole range of life's experiences. Having a reaction to trauma is healthy-- it means you're having a normal reaction to an abnormal experience. But when the impacts of trauma linger and even grow, it's time to seek out help. Together, we can work to establish safety in your body and in your life, allowing you to release yourself from memories of the past. I'd love to help you take your life back.

Trauma and PTSD
Emmie Mai
Therapist, LPC-A, PMH-C
The most common treatment for trauma I use is EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) therapy. EMDR is a well-researched modality that lessens the impact of traumatic memories through bilateral stimulation.

Dr. Jadah Petty
Psychologist, Ph.D., Licensed Clinical Psychologist
Trauma is an experience that can impact nearly every aspect of someone's life, from relationships/trust, to work, to self-esteem, to mood and the list goes on. Finding someone who specializes in trauma/PTSD is essential to truly getting the help you need. I offer the gold standard treatments for PTSD (e.g. Cognitive Processing Therapy and Prolonged Exposure), as well as treatments like EMDR and STAIR. Building a strong relationship is the first step to help you on your journey to re-engaging in the life you want to lead. I will then help you process your trauma, understand triggers, and develop new coping strategies for managing.
