Lea Purczinsky
Pre-Licensed Professional, Licensed Professional Counselor Associate
It may sound weird to say, but trauma is my heart. If you've been hurt in this life and are seeking healing, it would be my honor to navigate that alongside you. I use several trauma informed modalities that keep in mind how trauma affects the brain and body as we collaboratively unpack your life expereinces and work to take away the sting they can still hold many years later, including PTSD symptoms.

Robin Britt
Counselor/Therapist, LPC-S
Trauma isn't just what happened to you — it's what happened inside you as a result. And it has a way of living on long after the event is over, showing up in your body, your relationships, your sleep, and the ways you've learned to stay safe in a world that once felt very unsafe.
You don't have to have survived something catastrophic to be carrying trauma. Childhood wounds, chronic emotional pain, betrayal, loss, and the slow accumulation of experiences that told you that you weren't safe, loved, or enough — these leave marks too. Whatever brought you here, your experience is valid and your healing matters.
I work with individuals navigating PTSD, complex trauma, and the wide range of ways that painful experiences continue to shape daily life. My approach is paced and collaborative — we don't rush toward the hard material before you're ready, and you're never pushed further than you want to go. Safety comes first, always.
Trauma work can be some of the most profound and life-changing therapy a person does. When you're ready to stop just surviving the past and start building something different, I'd be honored to walk that road with you.

Lisa Barber
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.Ed., LPC-S, CHN, HWC
Trauma is experienced in a multitude of ways. Trauma is stored in the body, even when the mind doesn't want to remember. Having the support and security of a counseling relationship can provide the opportunity for full healing and freedom from the past.

Tammy Desko
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Trauma is unique - it affects theming, body and spirit in ways that standard talk therapy may not fully address. Therapy will help you process overwhelming experiences, manage symptoms like flashbacks or anxiety and rebuild a sense of safety.

Tina Nickels
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
I have experience working with those who have a history of trauma or a diagnosis of PTSD. I am compassionate and have a naturally calm demeanor that encourages clients to relax and open up. I will not pressure a client, but instead I listen and lead. There are many sources and types of trauma, and no two people are alike. Together we will explore the path to healing.

Jenn Zatopek
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, EMDR
I'm a trauma specialist, and I use EMDR and mindfulness to help you heal from past pain. EMDR helps to unlock the trauma from the nervous system, but I don't start out doing EMDR. I start out doing a lot of resourcing and grounding to help you feel safe inside your own skin. Then when you are ready to begin processing we can do so.

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.
