PTSD/Trauma
Gregg Unterberger
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.Ed., LPC
Trauma is acutely painful for clients. Friends tell them to just "let go of the past," but they don't realize that traumatic events get deeply embedded in the brain as a fight-or-flight panic response and they can't just shake them off! Maybe you have discovered that mere talk therapy does little to bring relief. But the newer desensitization approaches I use often bring relief in sessions, not years!

Kari Carter
Life Coach, APSATS certified, ACC, CPC, ADOH
Betrayal Trauma cam present with symptoms similar to PTSD - intrusive thoughts, hypervigilance, emotional flooding, sleep disruption, anxiety, and difficulty feeling safe. When trust has been shattered through infidelity, sexual addiction, or chronic deception, the nervous system often remains in a prolonged state of threat response.
I specialize in trauma-informed, partner-sensitive care that focuses first on stabilization and nervous system regulation before deeper processing. My work helps clients understand their trauma responses, reduce symptom intensity, establish protective boundaries, and regain a sense of internal safety. Healing is possibly when trauma is acknowledged and treated with informed, compassionate support.

Melinda Switzer - Beauty for Ashes Trauma Therapy and Treatment
Counselor/Therapist, Melinda Switzer, MA, LPC, NCC
Trauma and PTSD is the field that I have chosen as my primary specialty. I have been working with clients who have experienced this for the past four years. Before getting my therapy license, I volunteered on the East Texas Critical Incident Stress Debriefing Team. I am also still a member of this team, but my role has changed, I can now participate as a mental health professional on the team, when before I got my license, I functioned as a Peer Counselor. My background as a Paramedic for years has influenced me in this field. Many first responders suffer from PTSD and the most proven method to help them is with Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). https://compassionworks.com/a-mothers-story-september-suicide-awareness-month/

Rising Phoenix Therapy - Dempsey Young, Psy.D.
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
Trauma is my BIGGEST specialty and have worked a lot across my entire career in this area. Trauma affects everyone differently, and I know that each person's journey through it is unique. Over the years, I’ve learned and applied a variety of proven techniques to help people in ways that feel right for them. Trauma can show up in many ways, like struggling with self-esteem, feeling shame, staying in unhealthy relationships, having trouble setting boundaries, times of dissociation, or feeling stuck in fight/flight/fawn mode. It can also lead to anxiety, depression, and nightmares. I believe that, together, we can work toward not just surviving, but truly healing and thriving on your path forward.

PTSD/Trauma
Robin Britt
Counselor/Therapist, LPC-S
Trauma isn't just what happened to you — it's what happened inside you as a result. And it has a way of living on long after the event is over, showing up in your body, your relationships, your sleep, and the ways you've learned to stay safe in a world that once felt very unsafe.
You don't have to have survived something catastrophic to be carrying trauma. Childhood wounds, chronic emotional pain, betrayal, loss, and the slow accumulation of experiences that told you that you weren't safe, loved, or enough — these leave marks too. Whatever brought you here, your experience is valid and your healing matters.
I work with individuals navigating PTSD, complex trauma, and the wide range of ways that painful experiences continue to shape daily life. My approach is paced and collaborative — we don't rush toward the hard material before you're ready, and you're never pushed further than you want to go. Safety comes first, always.
Trauma work can be some of the most profound and life-changing therapy a person does. When you're ready to stop just surviving the past and start building something different, I'd be honored to walk that road with you.
