Alexandria, Virginia therapist: Brad Croyle, licensed professional counselor
Trauma and PTSD

Brad Croyle

Licensed Professional Counselor, MA. LPC
I work with clients who struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship or family issues as well as a host of other related issues and use EMDR to treat these problems. During our sessions, we will collaborate to create a plan for addressing them that helps you get your life back. I practice from a Holistic perspective and commonly employ EMDR and other effective modalities with helping clients achieve balance and purpose in their lives and creative solutions to their problems. This includes exploring past issues and trauma that may be a factor presently. We will work on your past directly so you can gain perspective and make needed changes allowing you to move beyond it once and for all. Talk therapy alone is not effective. Otherwise, anyone could simply say to just change what you are doing, and then you would change, but that does not work. Talk therapy alone is not effective. Otherwise, anyone could simply say to just change what you are doing, and then you would change, but that does not work. Our goal is to make lasting and desired changes to promote healthy relationships and positive interactions. I also specialize in Religious Trauma for those who have suffered trauma within Religion or Church in a variety of contexts.

Minneapolis, Minnesota therapist: Allen Wood, psychologist
Trauma and PTSD

Allen Wood

Psychologist, Psy.D.
As a psychologist specializing in the full range of trauma, I integrate Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) with Internal Family Systems (IFS) to reinforce a sense of safety, control, and worthiness. I draw upon the principles of Interpersonal Neurobiology to understand how our nervous system is forced to adapt in extreme and overwhelming situations, and how those adaptations can be reinforced or blocked by our relationships, internal conflicts, and past experiences. In our work together, you can expect a high level of collaboration, deeply compassionate understanding, and an abundance of metaphors as we tailor the therapy process to your needs, strengths, and situation.

Falls Church, Virginia therapist: Carolyn Murphy, Ph.D., psychologist
Trauma and PTSD

Carolyn Murphy, Ph.D.

Psychologist, Counseling Psychology
I have many years of experience helping clients who have experienced physical, emotional, and/or sexual trauma, particularly in their childhood. My approach to therapy is interactive and supportive, with an overall goal of increasing self-awareness and coping skills to help promote the kind of changes that you would like to see. I believe that the quality of the therapist/client relationship is paramount to our work together, and because of this I highly encourage you to choose a therapist that feels like a "good fit" for you. I always start with an initial consultation appointment where I can learn more about your background and reasons for seeking therapy, answer any questions you may have, and then plan together from there. Starting therapy can feel daunting or overwhelming for many people, so it is important that we work at a pace that feels comfortable to you.

Virginia Beach, Virginia therapist: MindOverHealing Therapies, hypnotherapist
Trauma and PTSD

MindOverHealing Therapies

Hypnotherapist, CHt
Hypnotherapy can be instrumental in addressing trauma and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Trauma often leaves deep emotional scars that manifest as anxiety, flashbacks, nightmares, and heightened stress responses. Traditional therapeutic approaches may not always reach these deeply embedded issues, but hypnotherapy offers a unique avenue to access and heal the subconscious mind where trauma is often stored. Furthermore, hypnotherapy can help individuals build positive coping mechanisms and resilience. Techniques such as guided imagery and positive suggestion can instill a sense of safety and empowerment, replacing the negative emotions tied to traumatic events.

Tysons, Virginia therapist: Tracey Knows, licensed professional counselor
Trauma and PTSD

Tracey Knows

Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Healing from trauma and PTSD requires a compassionate, structured approach that acknowledges both emotional and physiological responses to past experiences. I provide a safe, supportive space to process trauma at a pace that feels right, using evidence-based techniques like trauma-informed cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and somatic awareness. By addressing triggers, regulating the nervous system, and reframing distressing memories, individuals can regain a sense of control, safety, and self-trust. My approach emphasizes resilience, emotional integration, and reclaiming a life not defined by past trauma.
