PTSD/Trauma
Dr. Lynne Logan
Marriage and Family Therapist, Ph.D., Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
Trauma and PTSD can be discovered on several levels. For example -- a one time car crash. A victim or a crime. Abuse of any kind. Chronic child abuse. Relational abuse. Being bullied or humiliated. Past traumas that are not resolved are held in a special organ in the brain called the 'amygdala.' The traumatic memory can be 'triggered' off and on for years -- which can and will ultimately interfere in many aspects of ones life. The great news is that unprocessed traumas and PTSD can be effectively treated. You can be free of disturbing memories and emotional recalls that cause anxiety, flashbacks, nightmares, etc. Help is available.

PTSD/Trauma
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.

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.

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.

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.
