Trauma and PTSD
Cherilyn Schutze Counseling
Licensed Professional Counselor, MEd., LPC, CCTTP, EMDR trained
Trauma can continue affecting you long after the original events have passed—shaping how you view yourself, others, and the world around you. It may show up as anxiety, emotional reactivity, hypervigilance, difficulty trusting, perfectionism, people-pleasing, shame, or feeling emotionally stuck despite your best efforts to move forward.
In therapy, we work to process unresolved trauma, understand how past experiences continue to influence present patterns, and help your nervous system begin to experience greater safety, regulation, and freedom.

Trauma and PTSD
Dr. Cynthia Edwards-Hawver
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Narcissistic abuse and coercive control cause real, clinically significant trauma. Many of the mothers I work with have never been told this — they've been treated for anxiety or depression without anyone naming the source as relational trauma. The symptoms are real: intrusive thoughts, hypervigilance, emotional flashbacks, difficulty trusting others, avoidance of anything that triggers memories of the relationship. Complex PTSD, which develops from prolonged exposure to psychological abuse rather than a single traumatic event, is especially common in survivors of narcissistic relationships. As a licensed psychologist with 30 years of clinical experience and advanced training in trauma, post-separation abuse, and narcissistic abuse recovery, I provide trauma-informed therapy specifically designed for mothers healing from relational trauma and complex PTSD. My approach addresses the trauma at its roots — not just the symptoms — using evidence-based methods tailored to the specific trauma patterns that narcissistic and emotionally abusive relationships create.

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.

Laredo is one of the most culturally unified US-Mexico border cities in the country — with a population that is over 95% Hispanic and where Spanish is the dominant language of daily life — making bilingual, bicultural therapists not a specialty but an essential baseline for meaningful access to care. The city's economy is driven by international trade and logistics, with one of the busiest land ports in the United States, and therapists frequently address the occupational stress of commercial transport workers alongside the immigration stress experienced by families maintaining ties on both sides of the border. Laredo Medical Center and the Laredo VA Outpatient Clinic provide institutional resources, while the therapy community overall is relatively sparse compared to the population's scale. Webb County's concentration of poverty and social stress amplifies the need for community-accessible mental health services.
