Trauma and PTSD
Restoration Counseling Ministries
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT-S
Everyone has experienced trauma, but not everyone experiences PTSD. PTSD is, basically, when trauma gets "stuck" in us and forces its way into everyday life. Healing from trauma doesn't mean we forget the bad stuff. Healing is that the bad stuff gets bound in a book and put on the bookshelves of our life. It no longer intrudes into our present. We can take the book off the shelf and open it, remembering all the details, but then close it back up and put it back on the shelf, and it stays there.

Trauma & PTSD: From Survival to Sovereignty
Rewiring the Alarm and Reclaiming the Present
Trauma is not just what happened to you; it is the "residue" left behind in your nervous system. It is a state where your body remains stuck in a past moment of danger, leading to a life of hyper-vigilance, emotional overwhelm, and systemic burnout. In my practice, we approach trauma with radical compassion and clinical precision, working to help your brain finally move "the then" out of "the now."
The Landscape of Traumatic Stress
Trauma often lives in the "wordless" parts of the brain, manifesting in ways that logic alone cannot reach. We work together to address:
The High-Alert System: Navigating the constant state of "fight or flight" that leads to irritability, insomnia, and an inability to relax.
The Shut Down & Dissociation: Addressing the "numbing out" or the feeling of being disconnected from your body—a protective freeze response used to survive the unbearable.
Attachment Trauma: Exploring how early "systemic" wounds in the family or spiritual community have shaped your ability to feel safe in relationships today.
A Specialized Path to Resolution
With over 20 years of experience, I integrate deep-reaching, somatic-based modalities to move beyond "talk therapy" into true neurological healing:
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing): As an EMDRIA-trained clinician, I use this gold-standard treatment to help your brain process traumatic memories so they no longer trigger the same intense physical and emotional distress.
IFS-Informed "Parts" Work: We get curious about the parts of you that are "stuck" in the trauma—the protectors, the exiles, and the managers—helping them find a new role in a safe present.
Systems Theory & Social Inequity: We acknowledge how external forces—power imbalances, systemic inequity, and spiritual trauma—contribute to and sustain a sense of "un-safety."
Sanctuary for the Healer
I have a "special love" for working with therapists and pastors who are carrying their own "unprocessed" trauma while holding the trauma of their communities. You deserve a peer-level space where you can finally put down the armor of the "helper" and address your own wounds with a clinician who understands the weight of your role.

Trauma and PTSD
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.
