Michael J. Salas
Counselor/Therapist, PsyD, LPC-S, LCDC, CSAT, CST
Trauma isn’t just about what happened. It’s about how your body and mind had to adapt to survive it. Whether you’ve experienced something overwhelming recently or are carrying the weight of events from long ago, trauma can show up in your life in ways that feel confusing, exhausting, or out of your control—like flashbacks, anxiety, emotional numbness, or a constant sense of danger, even when things seem “fine.”
I help people make sense of these responses and begin to heal in a way that feels grounded and empowering. With specialized training in EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, and Post Induction Therapy, I use approaches that go beyond just talking—so you can safely reconnect with your body, your emotions, and your sense of self.
You don’t have to keep reliving what happened or stay stuck in survival mode. Healing from trauma is possible, and therapy can help you move forward with more clarity, choice, and peace.

Phillip McCulley
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT, CSAT
I work with individuals and couples who are dealing with the effects of trauma or post traumatic stress. Trauma can come from many experiences, including childhood events, relationship betrayal, abuse, medical trauma, loss, or other situations that felt overwhelming or unsafe. Even when the event is in the past, its effects can continue to show up through anxiety, emotional numbness, hypervigilance, intrusive memories, or difficulty trusting others.
In therapy, I help clients understand how trauma is affecting their nervous system, emotions, and relationships in the present. I use trauma informed approaches, including EMDR therapy, to help process painful experiences in a way that feels safe and manageable. This work allows many clients to feel less controlled by memories or emotional reactions and more grounded in their daily lives.
Trauma healing is not about reliving the past or forcing yourself to move on. It is about helping your mind and body release what they have been holding onto so you can feel more present, connected, and in control. Together, we work toward restoring a sense of safety, stability, and confidence in yourself and your relationships.

Zach Ramsey
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LPC-S, CSAT
I work with individuals who have experienced trauma and PTSD, including the lasting effects of overwhelming or distressing events on the mind and body. My approach integrates a somatic, body-based focus—helping clients understand and regulate nervous system responses—alongside trauma-informed, evidence-based therapies. I support clients in building a greater sense of safety, awareness, and stability while processing unresolved experiences at a pace that feels manageable. Together, we work to reduce reactivity and avoidance, reconnect with the body, and move forward with greater confidence, resilience, and a renewed sense of control.

Jay Shaw
Hypnotherapist, CHt (Certified Hypnotherapist)
Unresolved trauma doesn't stay in the past it runs in the background of every decision, relationship, and stress response you have today. Identity 2.0 hypnotherapy works to neutralize the subconscious charge attached to past events, reducing triggers and rebuilding a nervous system baseline that isn't controlled by what happened before. This isn't about reliving the pain. It's about removing its authority over your present identity.

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.

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.

Benjamin Conner Trauma To Peace Therapy
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.S. Clinical Mental Health Counseling, LPC, EMDR, Veteran
The word trauma is often used only for the "Hollywood" version. Your brain responds with traumatic patterns of thought and behavior to many things it cannot understand and solve in the moment. If you think I am not good enough, I am not valued, I am a failure, it's not safe to feel, it's not safe to be me...all of those messages and more are a part of traumatic response. There are techniques that help reprocess those messages and lead to internal peace. "I am" is a powerful thought process that comes from post traumatic growth. That work is something we can do together.
