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.

Dr. Genevieve Marcel - Houston Sex Therapy
Counselor/Therapist, PhD, LPC-Associate, CTP, CMMT, ABS
Sexual trauma reorganizes a life quietly — shaping what feels safe, what the body allows, what desire is permitted to want. Many people who carry it arrive not as survivors seeking recovery, but as individuals whose erotic and intimate lives have become complicated in ways that resist easy explanation. The work here begins not with the trauma as the central object, but with what you want, what feels true and where you have lost the thread of your own experience.

PTSD/Trauma
Zach Ramsey
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LPC-S, CSAT
I work with individuals who have experienced trauma and PTSD, including the lasting effects of overwhelming or distressing events on the mind and body. My approach integrates a somatic, body-based focus—helping clients understand and regulate nervous system responses—alongside trauma-informed, evidence-based therapies. I support clients in building a greater sense of safety, awareness, and stability while processing unresolved experiences at a pace that feels manageable. Together, we work to reduce reactivity and avoidance, reconnect with the body, and move forward with greater confidence, resilience, and a renewed sense of control.

PTSD/Trauma
Awaken Wellness Center, Inc.
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Trauma doesn't follow a timeline — it can live in the body long after the event has passed. We meet you where you are, using Brainspotting to help your brain and body process traumatic memories at their source, and IFS to gently work with the parts of you still carrying fear, hypervigilance, or shutdown.

PTSD/Trauma
Shannon Stern, LPC-S, LMHC
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC-S, LMHC
Trauma symptoms include: flashbacks, sleep troubles, negative beliefs about yourself, feeling unsafe, dissociation, hypervigilence, and more. Trauma symptoms can arise from moments of danger or threats to safety, or moments in childhood that caused great emotional distress. EMDR and IFS can be helpful in addressing these memories and helping your brain and body feel safe again.

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. BSA 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.
