Trauma and PTSD
Dr. Amanda Malak
Psychologist, Clinical Psychologist
I specialize in helping individuals who have experienced trauma or are dealing with PTSD. My approach includes trauma-informed therapies like CPT, PE, somatic experiencing, and other techniques designed to help clients process and heal from their traumatic experiences. I work with clients to address symptoms like flashbacks, anxiety, and avoidance, and to help them regain a sense of safety, control, and empowerment. My goal is to create a supportive environment where clients can work through their trauma at their own pace, build resilience, and ultimately move toward healing and recovery. Referrals to EMDR or medication management are offered when appropriate.

Trauma and PTSD
Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
For more than 33 years, I’ve worked with adults whose lives have been shaped by experiences that were overwhelming, prolonged, or carried alone for a long time. Many are thoughtful, highly responsible people who have learned to keep going, even when something inside feels stuck, numb, or on edge.
This often includes early family dynamics that were never named as “trauma,” but still live in your body and relationships. When these kinds of experiences are ongoing or rooted in early life, they are often described as complex trauma, C‑PTSD, or developmental trauma.
Difficult or frightening experiences can also arise from single incidents or periods of crisis, such as medical trauma, accidents, or other shocks. These experiences may or may not meet criteria for PTSD, but they can still leave a lasting imprint.
These experiences can influence how you understand yourself, how you move through relationships, and how your nervous system responds to daily life. You may notice changes in mood, concentration, or energy. Some people feel constantly on alert, others shut down, and many move between the two. For some, there is a clear “before and after” in their life; for others, there is a quieter sense of having experienced more than most people realize.
In our work together, we focus on building safety and softening the impact of trauma, including PTSD and C‑PTSD, on your daily life. We pay close attention to how it impacts your body, nervous system, and relationships and to the patterns and roles that once helped you cope but may now feel limiting or costly. We move at a pace that respects your capacity and what feels possible right now, with an emphasis on choice and partnership throughout the process.

15 Years Experience
Online in Chattanooga, TN Tennessee (Online Only)
Chattanooga has undergone a remarkable urban transformation over the past two decades — from a polluted post-industrial city to a nationally recognized model of revitalization anchored by the Tennessee Aquarium, a thriving outdoor economy, and a world-class broadband infrastructure — and its therapy community reflects a city coming into its own, with growing demand from young professionals, creatives, and outdoor enthusiasts relocating from other metros. The city has significant African American communities in North Chattanooga and other historically Black neighborhoods, and therapists offering culturally affirming care and racial identity work are an important part of the local landscape. CHI Memorial Hospital and Erlanger Health System provide institutional mental health resources alongside a growing private practice community. Chattanooga's outdoor recreation culture — anchored by Lookout Mountain, the Tennessee River Gorge, and proximity to Appalachian trails — shapes a therapy community with distinct interest in the intersection of nature, physical health, and mental wellbeing.
