PTSD/Trauma
LAH Therapy Services
Marriage and Family Therapist, Ph.D., LMFT, CAS, EMDR-2
Trauma is a specialty for me. I have done hours of training on Trauma and PTSD. I use EMDR to work with trauma but along with EMDR a client must look at their patterns of thought, feeling and especially behavior. All of these work together. Once a trauma is processed, the patterns that go with the trauma must also change and grow.

Dr. Joe Rustum
Psychologist, PsyD, License Psychologist
I help clients work through trauma, chronic stress, and painful experiences that continue to affect their emotions, relationships, and sense of safety. For high-functioning clients, trauma may show up as overcontrol, perfectionism, avoidance, irritability, anxiety, or difficulty relaxing. In therapy, we work at a pace that feels manageable, building coping skills, increasing self-understanding, and reducing the impact of past experiences on daily life. My goal is to help clients feel more grounded, resilient, and connected to themselves.

Prolonged Exposure Therapy (PE) is my psychotherapy model of choice when it comes to trauma processing. It worked wonders for the combat veterans and sexual trauma survivors I worked with at the Veterans Administration.

Emily Hurlin
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LISW, LCSW
Trauma isn't only about what happened. It's about how your body keeps bracing for it to happen again. I use Somatic Experiencing (Intermediate level, Somatic Experiencing International) and EMDR (EMDRIA-trained since 2019) to help your nervous system settle and let painful memories lose their grip, without forcing you to relive every detail. Many of my clients notice their trauma showing up most in close relationships, and that's where much of our healing work happens.

Tammara kamei
Counselor/Therapist, MA, LPC-MHSP
Traumatic experiences can continue to affect thoughts, emotions, relationships, behaviors, and feelings of safety long after an event has ended. Our practice provides compassionate, trauma-informed trauma counseling and PTSD therapy for individuals who have experienced abuse, violence, sexual trauma, relationship trauma, childhood trauma, traumatic loss, or other distressing life experiences.
Symptoms of trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) may include intrusive memories, nightmares, avoidance, anxiety, emotional numbness, hypervigilance, irritability, difficulty trusting others, sleep problems, relationship difficulties, or feeling constantly on guard.
Our clinicians help clients understand trauma responses, identify triggers, develop healthier coping and emotional regulation skills, strengthen feelings of safety, and process difficult experiences at an appropriate pace. Our approach to trauma therapy and PTSD counseling recognizes that each client's experiences and recovery needs are unique.
Whether you are struggling with recent trauma or experiences that occurred many years ago, our goal is to provide a supportive therapeutic environment where you can work toward healing, greater emotional stability, healthier relationships, and an improved quality of life.

PTSD/Trauma
PSYCHe, PLLC
Psychologist, PhD, DBT-LBC™, LPC, PsyD, MSW, Marriage and Family Counselor, LCSW
Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can develop from being exposed to a wide variety of traumatic events such as motor vehicle crashes, home accidents, sexual assault, domestic violence, or being involved in a natural disaster. As the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-V) describes it, PTSD happens after “being witness to or being exposed to situations involving threatened or actual serious physical harm or death.” But it’s important to keep in mind that experiencing a trauma doesn’t mean a person will absolutely develop PTSD.

Becca Edwards
Therapist, LMSW, Ed.S., M.ed
Trauma can affect far more than our memories—it can shape our bodies, relationships, emotions, beliefs, and sense of safety. I help clients process traumatic experiences at their own pace while developing greater regulation, self-understanding, and a sense of safety. I draw from trauma-informed approaches including EMDR, IFS, and somatic therapies.
