PTSD/Trauma
Phillip Thomas Stepka, PsyD.
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist
I specialize in working with people who have experienced the worst that life can throw at them. This may include single devastating events such as natural disasters, catastrophic accidents, and loss. This may also include chronic experiences such as childhood neglect/abuse, prolonged exposure to big and little "T" traumas such as those experienced by service members, first responders, survivors of war, human trafficking, domestic violence, and other long-standing environmental stressors.

Emily Blitz
Psychologist, PsyD
Trauma doesn’t always come from one big event—small, repeated experiences can quietly shape how safe, seen, or steady you feel in the world. In our work, we create a supportive space to notice these patterns, understand how they affect your relationships and sense of self, and gently foster healing. Approached with curiosity and care, you can find greater safety, insight, and self-understanding.

PTSD/Trauma
Kimberly Daigle
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
Trauma is often thought of as a single event, but it is the experience of that event—and how the nervous system responds—that creates trauma. While we may try to think our way out of trauma responses, the body often continues to relive what happened. Because of this, trauma healing can be most effective when it begins with the body. I integrate Somatic Experiencing, EMDR, and Internal Family Systems to gently reconnect clients with their bodies, regulate the nervous system, and create space for the brain to come back online—allowing for thoughtful choice rather than automatic reaction.

Jenn Zatopek
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, EMDR
I'm a trauma specialist, and I use EMDR and mindfulness to help you heal from past pain. EMDR helps to unlock the trauma from the nervous system, but I don't start out doing EMDR. I start out doing a lot of resourcing and grounding to help you feel safe inside your own skin. Then when you are ready to begin processing we can do so.

Amarillo sits at the heart of the Texas Panhandle — a vast agricultural and energy-producing region — with a therapy community shaped by its role as the commercial and medical center for a large, largely rural surrounding population. The city's predominantly conservative, faith-oriented culture means spiritually integrated therapy is a mainstream part of the local offering rather than a specialty niche. Baptist St. Anthony Health System and Northwest Texas Healthcare System provide institutional mental health anchors for the Panhandle region, with a private therapy community that serves both city residents and clients traveling in from smaller surrounding communities. Amarillo's significant Hispanic population and growing refugee and immigrant communities create ongoing demand for bilingual and culturally informed therapists.
