PTSD/Trauma
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
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.

Karen Hartfield, MA, LMHC, Fearless Heart Counseling
Licensed Professional Counselor, Certified Sandplay Therapist with STA
Sandplay therapy can actually be a very beneficial supplement to working with trauma. Processing trauma in a safe, protected place allows a person to feel the pain of their feelings in a deep way so that these feelings can then be released. Having a new relationship with past traumatic events is one of the main goals of working with trauma.

PTSD/Trauma
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.
