Abbrielle Schenck
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT-Associate
Trauma reshapes how the brain and body experience safety, connection, and meaning. My work focuses on helping clients feel grounded in the present while gently processing what the past still holds. I prioritize emotional safety, pacing, and nervous system regulation so healing does not feel retraumatizing. The goal is not to erase your story, but to help it hold less power over your life.

Samia Geraghty
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
Trauma occurs when an overwhelming, frightening, or deeply distressing event breaks your sense of safety and leaves your nervous system trapped in survival mode. Whether you experienced a single sudden event—like an accident or assault—or endured years of ongoing stress, such as childhood neglect or abuse, the impact of trauma is real and physical. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) means your brain has not yet been able to fully process the event, causing the past to constantly intrude on your present. You may have vivid flashbacks, intense nightmares, constant anxiety, irritability, or an overwhelming urge to avoid anything that reminds you of the experience. Living in a constant state of high alert is exhausting, but it does not have to be your permanent reality. Therapy offers a deeply respectful environment to safely process what happened to you. Rather than just talking about the events, we use trauma-informed approaches to help your mind and body realize that the danger is over. Together, we will work to calm your overactive nervous system, release the heavy weight of old survival patterns, and help you reclaim a profound sense of safety, control, and peace in your life.

Jamie Heavey
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, ATR
Trauma and PTSD can have a significant impact on an individual's mental health, relationships, and overall quality of life. If you or a loved one has experienced trauma, know that you are not alone. At my counseling practice, I specialize in working with individuals who have experienced trauma and are struggling with symptoms of PTSD.
My approach to trauma and PTSD is grounded in evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR). Through these modalities, I provide a safe and supportive space for clients to process their traumatic experiences, gain a deeper understanding of their symptoms, and develop coping strategies for managing symptoms in everyday life.
I understand that trauma can impact every area of a person's life, and I work collaboratively with clients to address their unique needs and goals. Whether you are struggling with flashbacks, nightmares, anxiety, or avoidance behaviors, I am here to support you on your journey towards healing and recovery.
If you or a loved one is struggling with trauma or PTSD, I encourage you to reach out for help. Together, we can work towards a brighter future and a renewed sense of hope and empowerment.

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.

Kristin Wright
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
Trauma often affects many people. Yet, most who have been through a trauma have been shunned, ridiculed, or put down for their experiences. This makes it scary for anyone to be vulnerable or to work through their issues. You need someone who will understand you and offer a judgement free and validating space to share your struggles. My passion is working with adults who have been through traumatic experiences, and it is my top priority to create an environment that helps them feel safe, protected, and validated in order to move forward into healing.

Shawna Damiani
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Trauma is not what happened to you. Trauma is what happened inside you as a result — the way your nervous system learned to protect you, the way your brain reorganized itself around surviving, the way a part of you got stuck in a moment that the rest of you has long since left behind.
It doesn't have to be a single catastrophic event. Trauma can be the accumulation of a thousand smaller moments — growing up in a home where you never felt safe, a relationship that slowly dismantled your sense of self, a childhood where your needs were consistently unmet or your feelings consistently dismissed. It can be the thing everyone saw coming and the thing no one ever knew happened. It can be the experience you've minimized for years because someone else had it worse.
Your nervous system doesn't grade on a curve. If it changed you, it counts.
At Love Let Out, trauma-informed care isn't a specialty we offer on the side — it is the foundation of everything we do. We understand that trauma lives in the body as much as the mind, that traditional talk therapy alone doesn't always reach it, and that healing requires more than just telling the story. We draw from somatic approaches, Internal Family Systems, and mindfulness-based practices to help you process what happened at a level that actually creates change — not just insight, but relief.
We also know that trauma healing is not linear. There will be sessions that feel like breakthroughs and weeks that feel like setbacks. We will not rush you, and we will not pathologize your pace. Healing happens in relationship — and we are committed to being the kind of steady, trustworthy presence that makes it possible.
You survived. Now let's help you actually live.
