Pamela Brewer
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, Ph.D, LCSW-C,DCSW
You are the only one who can determine what felt traumatizing to you. We can work together to understand the trauma, and find ways to facilitate your healing. Your healing is not dependent on those who have harmed you. Apologies/acknowledgement may never come. But! You can heal. Post traumatic stress does not have to e a life sentence. You can make the difference in your own life. It may not seem possible now - but it is. I'd like to help.

Shauna Farabaugh
Life Coach, Certified Somatic Sex Educator, Board Certified Sexologist, Certified TRE provider
I am a certified Tension and Trauma Releasing Exercises (TRE) practitioner, offering sessions in person or online. TRE can be a great adjunct to other therapies or a primary modality for addressing shock trauma, chronic stress, and compassion fatigue. TRE® accesses the body's inherent mechanism of shaking or vibrating to discharge long held stress and activation. Since we work directly with the nervous system, it is possible to experience relief from symptoms without ever talking about the source of trauma or stress. And once you learn how to self-regulate the technique, you can access it on your own as an ongoing self-care practice, enjoying increased benefits over time without the cost of ongoing appointments. Questions? Curious if TRE is right for you? Contact me today for your FREE consultation.

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.

El Paso's location directly on the US-Mexico border defines its mental health landscape, with a predominantly Hispanic population spanning both sides and bilingual Spanish-English therapists at the center of the city's therapy community. Fort Bliss — one of the largest Army installations in the country — creates strong demand for therapists specializing in military trauma, PTSD, and the challenges faced by active-duty families. The 2019 mass shooting at a Walmart in El Paso had a profound impact on the city's collective mental health, and therapists specializing in community trauma and grief have played an ongoing role in recovery. Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center El Paso and University Medical Center of El Paso provide institutional mental health resources for the broader Borderland region.
