Crystal Williamson
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-S
The implications of trauma can be wide-ranging and may look different from person to person. Perhaps you have specific known trauma that left you with a distinct “before that day” and “after that day” in your life. Or maybe, you have woken up and realized that the environment that was normal to you for years was actually quite unhealthy and has altered the way you see yourself and the world. Either way, that is trauma and it can be understood, reprocessed by your brain, and healed to allow you to move forward as a healthier, happier you.

Lea Purczinsky
Pre-Licensed Professional, Licensed Professional Counselor Associate
It may sound weird to say, but trauma is my heart. If you've been hurt in this life and are seeking healing, it would be my honor to navigate that alongside you. I use several trauma informed modalities that keep in mind how trauma affects the brain and body as we collaboratively unpack your life expereinces and work to take away the sting they can still hold many years later, including PTSD symptoms.

Lisa Barber
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.Ed., LPC-S, CHN, HWC
Trauma is experienced in a multitude of ways. Trauma is stored in the body, even when the mind doesn't want to remember. Having the support and security of a counseling relationship can provide the opportunity for full healing and freedom from the past.

Tammy Desko
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Trauma is unique - it affects theming, body and spirit in ways that standard talk therapy may not fully address. Therapy will help you process overwhelming experiences, manage symptoms like flashbacks or anxiety and rebuild a sense of safety.

Trauma and PTSD
Elizabeth Starnes
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC-S, ATR-BC®, REAT
Trauma and PTSD can shape how you experience yourself, your relationships, and your sense of safety, often showing up as reactivity, emotional shutdown, or feeling disconnected from your body or sense of self. These responses are not flaws—they are adaptive patterns shaped by past experiences. In our work together, we slow things down and begin to understand these patterns with care and compassion. My approach integrates expressive arts therapy, using modalities such as visual journaling, storytelling, movement, and other forms of creative expression to explore and process experiences that may be difficult to access through words alone, alongside a parts-informed perspective to understand the aspects of you shaped by survival and protection. For clients who are interested, Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) can also be incorporated as a structured, evidence-based talk therapy approach, integrated in a way that aligns with your goals and pace.

I have experience working with those who have a history of trauma or a diagnosis of PTSD. I am compassionate and have a naturally calm demeanor that encourages clients to relax and open up. I will not pressure a client, but instead I listen and lead. There are many sources and types of trauma, and no two people are alike. Together we will explore the path to healing.

Arlington sits between Dallas and Fort Worth at the heart of the DFW Metroplex and serves a large suburban residential population navigating the particular stresses of fast-growing communities — long commutes, family pressure, and the challenges of raising children in a rapidly changing environment. The city has a large Hispanic and growing South Asian population, with increasing demand for culturally affirming and bilingual therapists. The University of Texas at Arlington provides a significant student population, and the city is served by Medical City Arlington and Texas Health Arlington Memorial Hospital for institutional mental health needs. Many Arlington residents also access therapy across the wider DFW metro, making the city part of a larger regional therapy ecosystem centered on Dallas and Fort Worth.
