PTSD/Trauma
Norma J. Perez
Psychologist, PhD
I have been working with individuals who have trauma and PTSD for over 20 years. For many years this was my main focus and as a evidence-based therapist I learned many different ways of treatment and developed a hybrid approach that I taught to other therapist for years. I start by helping you reduce your symptoms, then if your willing we re-process your trauma and help you look at it in a different way by identifying what is your "stuck point" and working to move that along. That in itself can also reduce remaining symptoms. With what is left, I help you move forward with your remaining symptoms and do what make you happy, despite of your symptoms. It may make you anxious to do something but at the end of the day, the joy you felt makes it worth it. Again, remember, you would be doing this with much less anxiety than when you started therapy. This a is a proven approach that has worked with so many individuals with trauma.

Dr. Carolina Castanos, PhD, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, PHD, LMFT
Trauma can be devastating. Memories that cannot be erased and keep coming back, a past that feels like the present, and constant tension, anxiety, depression. Trauma requires specific treatment, following certain steps in a safe environment or else therapy can be re-traumatizing.

Dr. Diann Sanford
Psychologist, Psy.D, LP, LPC
Many individuals have experienced trauma and PTSD but have not received treatment. Some individuals only experience a few trauma or PTSD symptoms, and do not meet the requirements for a full diagnosis; yet their symptoms significantly interfere in their personal well-being, life, marriage or other relationships. Drawing upon many evidenced based approaches, I will tailor a therapeutic solution that fits you and your circumstance to help you heal, let-go, and come into a new way of being.
This will allow you to become fully functioning in your own life, marriage or relationship. Many of my clients have been victims of rape, violence, or have experienced the hostilities of war and are seeking a new approach to treatment. They want to be free of the intrusive and unwanted memories that impede their present health.

Jan Anderson
Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Professional Counselor
I know how hard it is to find a counselor. You're about to go talk to someone about your pain or fears which makes you feel vulnerable. My first priority is to create a safe place for you. The most common feedback I get is, "you're so easy to talk to"
From there, we work together!

Shannon Stern, LPC-S, LMHC
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC-S, LMHC
Trauma symptoms include: flashbacks, sleep troubles, negative beliefs about yourself, feeling unsafe, dissociation, hypervigilence, and more. Trauma symptoms can arise from moments of danger or threats to safety, or moments in childhood that caused great emotional distress. EMDR and IFS can be helpful in addressing these memories and helping your brain and body feel safe again.

Courtney Loyola
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
I specialize in complex trauma and PTSD, including childhood trauma, relational trauma, and long-term emotional abuse. Using EMDR and attachment-based therapy, we process unresolved experiences so they no longer drive current triggers, anxiety, or relationship patterns. Healing focuses on nervous system regulation, integration, and restoring a sense of safety and empowerment.

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.

Aubrey Richardson
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
Trauma is not just what happened. It is how those experiences continue to live in your body, your relationships, and your sense of safety.
Many of my clients grew up in environments that looked “fine” on the surface, but required them to become a “little adult” far too early. They learned to anticipate needs, manage emotions, stay hyper-aware of others, and take on responsibility that was never theirs to carry. This often develops in the context of emotional neglect, subtle instability, or environments where love and safety were inconsistent or had to be earned.
Because of this, you may not always identify your experiences as trauma. You may just know that you feel constantly on edge, overly responsible, emotionally exhausted, or disconnected from yourself.
These patterns do not just live in your thoughts. They live in your body. You may notice chronic tension, difficulty relaxing, hypervigilance, or feeling like you can never fully “turn off,” even when things are objectively okay.
In our work together, we focus on helping you understand how these early patterns shaped the way you relate to yourself and others, while also addressing the somatic impact of living in a prolonged state of stress. Using mindfulness, somatic awareness, and evidence-based approaches, we work to reduce reactivity, rebuild a sense of internal safety, and create more sustainable, balanced ways of living and relating.
You adapted in ways that made sense at the time, but you do not have to keep living that way now
