Trauma hinders us from being who we truly wish to be in life. This could isolating one's self out of fear, having consistent negative thoughts about the world, not being able to form healthy relationships due to a lack of trust, etc. Don't let these issues hinder you any longer. Get with one of our clinicians to process your trauma and explore the positives that could be through healing and cognitive reconstruction.

Allyse Teltser
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Trauma does not stay in the past. It shows up in the body, in relationships, in the way certain moments can pull you back to something you have spent years trying to leave behind. Whether the trauma was a single event or a lifetime of experiences, the impact is real and it deserves real treatment. I use EMDR - one of the most research-supported trauma treatments available - to help clients process what happened without having to relive it in detail. Healing from trauma is possible. It does not have to define the rest of your life.

Robin Wellington
Counselor/Therapist, LPC-A, RYT-500, CTP, CSTFP
When working with trauma or PTSD, I provide a safe, supportive space to gently explore experiences that may still be affecting your emotional and nervous system responses. Trauma can leave the body feeling stuck in patterns of fear, hypervigilance, or shutdown. Together we move at a pace that feels safe, using nervous system regulation, mindfulness, and compassionate exploration to help your system process these experiences and gradually restore a sense of safety, stability, and connection.

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.

Karen Hammack
Psychologist, Ph.D.
After 17 years as a clinical psychologist, I can safely say most people have experienced some sort of trauma in life. As a result - it is vital that we approach these difficult experiences and process them, using evidence based trauma treatments such as Cognitive Processing Therapy. Through such therapies, healing can occur.

Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, NCC, ACS, CST
Trauma can feel deeply isolating and impact every part of life. I use trauma-informed therapies—like EMDR, somatic experiencing, and gentle processing—to help clients safely reclaim their narrative, feel grounded in their bodies, and restore trust in themselves and others.

A Little Healing LLC
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
Trauma can continue affecting you long after the experience itself has ended. You may find yourself feeling constantly on guard, avoiding certain situations, struggling to trust others, experiencing painful memories, or noticing that past experiences continue to shape your relationships, boundaries, self-worth, and the way you respond to conflict. I help women explore how trauma and difficult past experiences may still be influencing their lives today. Together, we’ll work toward understanding your responses with greater compassion, processing what you’ve carried, strengthening your sense of safety and self-trust, and creating healthier patterns that allow your past to be part of your story without continuing to define your future.

Andrea Meier, LLC | Holistic Wellness Collective
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.S., LPC, LAC
Trauma can change how we experience ourselves, our relationships and the world -- often long after the experience has passed. We provide trauma-informed, integrative therapy that goes beyond simply managing symptoms to support deeper healing. Using approaches such as EMDR, IFS/parts work and somatic therapy, we help clients process what they've carried, restore a greater sense of safety in the nervous system, and move toward connection, resilience and choice.

Leigh Ann Lichty | INNER FLOW Counseling & Art Therapy, LLC
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, ATR-BC
When we experience trauma, our brains and bodies naturally respond for survival and protection. Sometimes we get stuck in those protective states, even after the danger is gone. Trauma therapy is centered around resetting the nervous system and letting your body and brain know you are safe. I am trained in EMDR and IFS, which are the two modalities I primarily use to help Clients work through trauma. I specialize in attachment trauma (such as parental narcissistic abuse, emotional abuse), however I also have experience using EMDR to help Clients process physical abuse and overcome single-incident trauma, such as a car accident. If you have experienced trauma and are interested in EMDR, I am happy to discuss whether my skills and experience might meet your therapeutic needs.
