Trauma and PTSD
Elizabeth Starnes
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC-S, ATR-BC, REAT
Trauma affects how we see ourselves, others, and the world. It can shake our sense of safety, trust, self-worth, and control—often leaving us feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or numb. Many survivors carry stories shaped by trauma that aren’t true but still feel real, causing ongoing pain.
As a trauma-informed therapist, I work gently and collaboratively. Before starting Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), I often introduce visual journaling to help clients safely explore emotions and sensations. Expressive arts provide a nonverbal, grounding way to reconnect with the body and access feelings that may feel out of reach.
Trauma can make us feel like we’re just a “floating head”—cut off from our emotions and intuition. I’ve witnessed clients gradually reclaim insight, voice, and self-trust through creative expression. There is no pressure to follow a specific structure or use art—it’s always your choice. We go at your pace, honoring your readiness and your story.

Trauma and PTSD
Jenn Zatopek
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, EMDR
I'm a trauma specialist, and I use EMDR and mindfulness to help you heal from past pain. EMDR helps to unlock the trauma from the nervous system, but I don't start out doing EMDR. I start out doing a lot of resourcing and grounding to help you feel safe inside your own skin. Then when you are ready to begin processing we can do so.

Tina Nickels
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
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.

Trauma and PTSD
James Parker
Psychologist, PhD
A myriad of definitions exist for "trauma." Bad things happen in life - that's part of being alive. But I view the definition as: trauma is when bad things happen, and you feel you have no way out. Trauma can result from one event or a chronic situation. I primarily utilize Coherence Therapy, which is an approach to treatment that is different from many others in that - instead of focusing on what is "negative" or "wrong" as a result of a traumatic experience - the purpose is to genuinely understand a person's symptoms; to curiously explore why maintaining certain patterns of thinking and behavior is emotionally necessary, even when a person is feeling stuck because of those patterns. Understanding the symptom leads to identifying the underlying emotional reasons of why we do things and addresses the cause of feeling stuck, not just the symptom, which then leads to meaningful and lasting changes. If you can uproot the cause, there is no need for life-long maintenance of coping with it.

Trauma and PTSD
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
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.

Trauma and PTSD
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.
