Trauma and PTSD
Mike Jeffcoat
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I can guide the client to better understanding of their PETS: physical response, emotional response, and thoughts by exploring the triggers and learning to manage our responses to perceived threat. Once healing has started, we can explore spirituality and how it can be a tool for recovery into true inner peace and self-empowerment. To that purpose, I use positive psychology, integrative holistic theories and practices, meditation, and breathwork so that my clients can experience a fulfilling life and become the authentic person they've wanted to be.

Emily Sledge
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LMSW
My clients will learn to become aware of their physical, emotional, and thought behaviors in order to manage their responses
to triggers from past trauma and perceived threat. Once the healing has begun, we can explore spirituality and how it can be incorporated in order for the client to experience a fulfilling life wholeheartedly. To that purpose, I use Eastern and Western practices to assist in the healing process including CBT, DBT, and ACT as well as meditation, breathwork, and yoga.

Ashley Ray
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-S, CCTP, TIYT
It's not your fault! That overwhelming feeling that you just want to crawl out of your skin... The challenges you experience communicating and socializing with others... Your thoughts racing and feeling stuck in the past... Feeling emotionally overwhelmed by the smallest of things... Not being able to sleep at night. None of it's your fault.
I specialize in helping men and women heal from their traumatic past... and guess what! I'm not going to make you talk about it... definitely not at first... and maybe never. The first thing we are going to do is get clear on your symptoms and triggers and work together to help you rewire your trauma-response so that you can feel at peace, calm and happy again. First, I help you to understand what's happening with your nervous system, and then we utilize holistic evidence-based somatic and CBT techniques to bring your body, mind and emotions back into balance. Then, once you feel strong, steady and an ability to achieve calm whenever you like, and if you like, we can revisit the past. Don't worry, the past is not where we start. We start in the present. We help you feel safe so that you are no longer afraid of falling apart.
Give me a call. I offer a free 20 minute phone consultation!

Elizabeth Starnes
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC-S, ATR, REAT
Trauma impacts every area of our lives - how we see ourselves, others and the world. It can destroy our sense of safety, trust, esteem, intimacy, and power/control. We create stories that are untrue and cause ourselves pain. I enjoy adding Expressive Arts Therapy to Cognitive Processing Therapy. Expressive arts can be a way to express oneself non-verbally which has helped many clients access their connection to their body and emotions. Trauma creates a disconnect from the mind and body. Almost as if we become a floating head. I have witnessed several clients reconnect to their feelings and body through keeping an art journal and sharing in session. In addition, overtime they were able to access their own insight and inner wisdom. Working on trauma is scary for many people. There is no pressure to follow a prescribed course or use art. I understand how difficult it is to share the story and trust a new therapist. I work at a client's comfort level and pace.

Erica Brown
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
While you've healed some of the wounds of the past and have been to therapy before, you still struggle in some areas of your life. Mostly you struggle with feelings of shame and doubt that creep in and lead to feelings of worthlessness. You find yourself struggling to own your worth and allow others to treat less than you know you deserve. Despite that, you desperately want to feel loved and accepted so the cycle continues. I can help you learn to heal from the past so it stops holding you back. Schedule a free consultation to get started.

Ryan Holliman
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, LPC-S
You don’t talk much about that day, but it still upsets you. That traumatic experience has infected all the other parts of your life. You find yourself avoiding situations and people that remind you of it. It’s getting to the point that your spending most of your life avoiding things. And that memory hurts. Sometimes you feel like your broken, and wonder if your life will ever feel “normal” again. You’ve tried to talk to family, but they can’t do much more than lend a sympathetic ear. And you’ve been to therapy, but you just talked about the trauma over and over, and that didn’t really seem to help anything. So is this it?
When I work with clients struggling with trauma I use an intervention called Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). While I could tell you all the neuroscience, what really happens in EMDR is we drain all of the emotions from your traumatic memory and install a positive belief about yourself.
Through EMDR we help you finally recover from the past. You can discard the negative beliefs about yourself that traumatic experience made you believe, and you can recapture a healthy and positive life. You need a trusted guide to help you through your trauma, and I can help. Call today to schedule a free initial 15 minute consultation.
