Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can develop from being exposed to a wide variety of traumatic events such as motor vehicle crashes, home accidents, sexual assault, domestic violence, or being involved in a natural disaster. As the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-V) describes it, PTSD happens after “being witness to or being exposed to situations involving threatened or actual serious physical harm or death.” But it’s important to keep in mind that experiencing a trauma doesn’t mean a person will absolutely develop PTSD.

Michael J. Salas
Counselor/Therapist, PsyD, LPC-S, LCDC, CSAT, CST
Trauma isn’t just about what happened. It’s about how your body and mind had to adapt to survive it. Whether you’ve experienced something overwhelming recently or are carrying the weight of events from long ago, trauma can show up in your life in ways that feel confusing, exhausting, or out of your control—like flashbacks, anxiety, emotional numbness, or a constant sense of danger, even when things seem “fine.”
I help people make sense of these responses and begin to heal in a way that feels grounded and empowering. With specialized training in EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, and Post Induction Therapy, I use approaches that go beyond just talking—so you can safely reconnect with your body, your emotions, and your sense of self.
You don’t have to keep reliving what happened or stay stuck in survival mode. Healing from trauma is possible, and therapy can help you move forward with more clarity, choice, and peace.

Maria T. Alonso, Ph.D.
Psychologist
As a psychologist working with trauma, I utilize evidence-based treatments to help clients process and heal from their experiences. I often use Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) to assist clients in addressing and reframing the negative thought patterns and emotional responses associated with their trauma. This approach helps them develop coping strategies and gradually face and work through their traumatic memories. Additionally, I incorporate Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to facilitate the processing of distressing memories and reduce their emotional charge. My approach is empathetic and client-centered, ensuring that each individual feels supported and empowered throughout their recovery journey. By applying these evidence-based treatments, I aim to help clients regain a sense of safety and control, ultimately guiding them towards healing and resilience.

Heather Curry
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC-S
Trauma is not only what happened in the past but how your nervous system learned to respond afterward. You may understand logically that you are safe yet still feel on edge, reactive in relationships, or pulled into old emotional states quickly. Triggers often seem disproportionate even when you can explain them.
Using EMDR and attachment-based work, therapy helps process experiences that your brain still treats as present. Rather than repeatedly retelling the story, we help your system update how it holds those memories so reactions gradually become less intense and more choiceful. The goal is not to erase the past but to allow it to stay in the past so daily life requires less vigilance.
