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.

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.

Dayna Nelson, PsyD, LP
Psychologist, PsyD, Licensed Psychologist
EMDR therapy is an integrative psychotherapy and uses a technique called bilateral stimulation to repeatedly activate opposite sides of the brain. Dr Nelson uses EMDR to facilitate the bilateral stimulation. EMDR seems to help the brain reprocess the trapped memories is such a way that normal information processing is resumed. Dr. Nelson uses EMDR to help clients uncover and process beliefs that developed as the result of relational traumas, or childhood abuse and/or neglect

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.

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.
