PTSD/Trauma
Melinda Switzer - Beauty for Ashes Trauma Therapy and Treatment
Counselor/Therapist, Melinda Switzer, MA, LPC, NCC
Trauma and PTSD is the field that I have chosen as my primary specialty. I have been working with clients who have experienced this for the past four years. Before getting my therapy license, I volunteered on the East Texas Critical Incident Stress Debriefing Team. I am also still a member of this team, but my role has changed, I can now participate as a mental health professional on the team, when before I got my license, I functioned as a Peer Counselor. My background as a Paramedic for years has influenced me in this field. Many first responders suffer from PTSD and the most proven method to help them is with Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). https://compassionworks.com/a-mothers-story-september-suicide-awareness-month/

Dri Edwards
Licensed Professional Counselor, MEd, LPC
My training and experience is primarily in developmental (occurring in childhood) and complex (multiple and/or repeated single occurring) traumas. I work to develop a consistent, secure attachment with my clients, use appropriate therapeutic boundaries, and provide coping skills training as a foundation for healing for these individuals. Often, clients want to jump into processing their traumas before they have the tools to assist this process; that approach can actually do more harm to a person who does not have adequate skills to cope.

I am EMDR trained and have many additional techniques and tools to use to help moderate your symptoms and bring increased safety and peace to your life.

Tyler is an east Texas city known as the Rose Capital of America and functions as the major healthcare, retail, and service hub for a significant portion of east Texas, with UT Health East Texas and multiple hospitals making healthcare one of the city's dominant industries and creating significant demand for mental health services from both the healthcare workforce and the wider regional patient community. The city has a strong evangelical Christian cultural identity that shapes how mental health is discussed and accessed, with faith-integrated therapy and pastoral counseling playing important roles alongside secular practice. The University of Texas at Tyler adds a student population, and a private therapy sector serves the broader east Texas community. Common therapy concerns include healthcare worker burnout and compassion fatigue, faith and mental health integration, economic anxiety in a regional service economy, and the particular dynamics of a city that functions as a medical referral center for a vast rural hinterland.
