Trauma and PTSD
Rachel Eddins
Counselor/Therapist, MEd, LPC
Trauma can be caused by a specific event (like an accident, assault, or life-threatening event), a recurring event (like combat exposure or repeated abuse), or a developmental, childhood, or relational trauma (like physical or emotional neglect in childhood).
Trauma can also be caused by many other frightening situations, such as bullying, abuse, rape, crime, war, victimization, and shaming/humiliation.
You don’t have to live with symptoms of trauma and PTSD. Trauma therapy can help you get unstuck and return to feeling like yourself again. You can heal from trauma.

Trauma and PTSD
Kevin Brown, Therapy in Mindfulness
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
One way to understand trauma is as 'too much, too fast' or 'too little, for too long.' Trauma often leaves us with experiences that feel too overwhelming to fully process, so we find ways—consciously or unconsciously—to avoid the pain. We may reshape our lives around that avoidance, not realizing how much it’s influencing us. Trauma can show up in many ways: anxiety, fear, emotional shutdown, or patterns we struggle to change. A somatic approach to healing trauma focuses on resourcing the nervous system, creating the safety needed to turn toward the pain in a regulated way, and processing the emotions and beliefs that have formed around it. This is the work of integration—the path to reclaiming yourself, so your life is no longer defined by what happened to you, but by how you choose to live moving forward.

Jonathan Hock -- Therapy for Men
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Trauma and PTSD in men often leave more than physical or emotional scars. They can disrupt identity, trust, and a sense of safety in the world. I work with men to explore how past experiences continue to shape thoughts, feelings, and behavior while helping them reclaim agency in their present lives. Together, we approach healing as a process of understanding, meaning-making, and deliberate action, so that past events inform rather than control how men live, relate, and move forward.

Trauma and PTSD
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.

Trauma and PTSD
Matthew Jones
Licensed Professional Counselor, MSCC, LPC
"Trauma is Trauma!" It is a belief that the client is the one that gets to define the situations that they feel have been impactful and have changed the course of their life. Using Trauma Focused-CBT, we will work side by side in helping to go through the trauma in a narrative fashion. This will be done only after building trust and using psychoeducation for a more thorough understanding of the impacts on trauma no matter what age it has occurred. It takes time to heal, but these are things that happened and do not have to hold you back anymore. Let's start the process of healing for you.

Christine Fatherree @ Unwritten In Stone Psychotherapy PLLC

Trauma can result from big or small events. The result for both is that the event remains frozen in our brain bodies affecting our present day. The use of EMDR allows the brain to reprocess and resolve traumatic events.

Trauma and PTSD
Grief Recovery Center
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LPC, LCSW, LMFT, LP, LPA-IPA
Trauma is any experience that overwhelms your sense of safety or well-being. It can result from abuse, assault, accidents, natural disasters, violence, infidelity, or other distressing events. Trauma may leave you feeling disconnected, anxious, numb, or on edge — even long after the event has passed.
Some people cope by withdrawing from loved ones or turning to unhealthy behaviors in an attempt to manage the pain. Others may not initially recognize their experience as traumatic, only to notice symptoms emerging months or years later.
At Grief Recovery Center in Houston, we provide trauma-informed therapy tailored to your unique experience. Whether your trauma is recent or long past, our licensed therapists create individualized treatment plans to help you process what happened, rebuild stability, and regain a sense of control.
Symptoms of trauma or PTSD may include intrusive memories or nightmares, heightened fear or hypervigilance, irritability, guilt or shame, emotional numbness, sleep disturbances, or avoiding reminders of the event. Not everyone who experiences trauma develops PTSD, but if symptoms are interfering with daily life, professional support can make a meaningful difference.
Through evidence-based approaches such as EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and other trauma-focused methods, we help clients regulate emotions, restore confidence, and move toward healing. When appropriate, therapy may be coordinated with medical providers for comprehensive care.
Call or text 832-413-2410 to schedule an appointment. You don’t have to navigate trauma alone.

I can help you walk through the darkness of your past to examine your beliefs about yourself and reconnect with the truth about yourself and the world around you.

Houston is one of the most ethnically diverse cities in the United States, and therapists here serve an extraordinarily wide range of cultural communities, with strong demand for bilingual and multicultural practitioners across its many distinct neighborhoods. The city's petrochemical industry and repeated major flooding events — including Hurricane Harvey — have made trauma, grief, and disaster recovery a persistent focus for many Houston therapists. Texas Medical Center, the largest medical complex in the world, provides an extensive institutional backdrop, with a large independent therapy community spread across the Heights, Montrose, and the Energy Corridor. Spanish, Vietnamese, Mandarin, Hindi, and Urdu-speaking therapists are all well represented in the Houston metro.
